Currently, the value of the scarf is hard to overestimate. For the first time, this accessory would have been discovered by archaeologists during excavations on the remains of ancient Chinese warriors, who successfully used fabric cuts to warm them in the winter cold five thousand years ago.

Over time, the scarf was modified, its functions expanded, and finally, now it can rightly be considered practically the main accessory when creating both a female and a male image.

The fact that the scarf was used not only for warming, but also as a detail for creating an image was contributed in many respects by the famous Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni. He was a mad fan of this subject. In his wardrobe there were about a hundred scarves of different types.

Currently, the diversity of scarves is so great that any girl can transform her image beyond recognition, only by tying a scarf in a new way, or using a new fabric for the scarf. Of course, such an amazing accessory did not go unnoticed by modern fashion designers who combine them in the most varied variations, creating unique bows.

Let's look at the main types of scarves and get acquainted with their names.

Shawl

Shawl is one of the most ancient and most popular type. A.S.Pushkin repeatedly sang this subject of women's wardrobe in his poems and poems. This is a large knitted shawl that can be worn on the shoulders or knitted around the neck. Depending on the threads used, the shawl can both warm and just complement your look.

Palatine

Palatine, unlike shawls, has a more rectangular shape. The width of the stole usually starts from 70 cm. It can be decorated with tassels or fringe and made of various materials. A palatine appeared in the 17th century and served exclusively to warm women who were wrapped in it in the cold. To improve the warming properties, stole was originally made from fur. Today, women most often throw it on their shoulders or tie it up with a beautiful knot.

Snood

This rather new fashion trend is a ring-shaped scarf, which is worn immediately over the head. It is made, as a rule, from warm materials, often from wool. The main purpose of the boat is to preserve heat. He easily turns from a scarf into a headdress, which has made him incredibly popular this season.

Poncho

This is a rectangular cut, in the middle of which there is a hole for the head. The poncho came to us from South America, where it is a constant companion of the inhabitants of Argentina and Chile. Since cold winds are constant satellites of those places, the local population is protected by ponchos. It perfectly covers the whole body, especially the chest and back. World designers love to experiment with ponchos, creating unusual exotic images.

Pareo

Indeed, the pareo is also a type of scarf. Light and thin, it is designed to cover the hips of a woman. Pareo can be turned into a skirt and a dress, so without it it is difficult to imagine a vacation by the sea. A beautifully tied pareo makes a woman very attractive and attracts men's looks.

Arafatka

This type of scarf originally appeared in the Middle East, as protection from the sun, dust, sand and wind. At present, Arafat women are especially fond of men. Traditional pattern in a cage is supported by manufacturers, and the fabrics began to use the most different.

If men usually tie at the neck, then women gracefully knit turbans from Arafatka. The image is quite extravagant, but very effective.

Bactus

Very similar to Arafat.Only much smaller and, as a rule, knit with needles. The scarf has a triangular shape and great popularity among young people. Wear it, putting a corner to the chest, and the ends are thrown over the neck or tied with various knots. Bactus can complement any image and diversify even the most boring costume.

Skaych

Not very popular type of scarf because of its original cut. Skate is a combination of a collar from a sweater with a zipper and long ends of a scarf. It is very convenient for children, as it allows you to unbutton the collar in the room without removing the scarf, or vice versa to tie up the ends for better warmth. It is usually made of soft fabrics such as fleece.

Neckpiece

This is a type of scarf made of fur. At the beginning of their journey, boas could afford only wealthy young ladies; today, manufacturers have lowered the price bar, using artificial fur in their production. The boa is always luxuriously framing the neck and shoulders of the ladies, creating chic looks, but it fits well only with classic clothes of good quality and seasoned style.

Baby sling

Probably the longest of all types of scarves, the sling is the only one that does not adorn a woman, but her irreplaceable assistant after the birth of a child. Sling helps the mother to carry the child from birth to 2-3 years.

The length of the sling can reach 7 meters, and it takes considerable effort to master all the options for tying this device. But the result exalts all expectations. In a properly tied sling, the baby is warm, comfortable and safe, and the mother gets hands free, a healthy back and a calm child.

Sling must be made of cotton. There are variants of knitted scarves, slings with rings, with pockets, with additional straps.

Kerchief

An extremely popular type of scarf, a kerchief is present in the wardrobe of every woman in more than one instance. And how without it? A small, light, all sorts of colors and shades of the kerchief gives you the opportunity to refresh any outfit. A huge number of options for tying makes the kerchief the most versatile accessory. You can wear it as you like, tied to the neck, on the head, in the buttonhole, on the arm, on the bag, etc.

Buff

Buff is a type of scarf, which is a seamless tube that is worn around the neck over the head. Initially, such a scarf bandana was used by athletes to protect against various adverse environmental conditions. But now the practicality and convenience of the buff has also won over ordinary users. Buff is made most often from synthetic materials, easy to maintain, small, perfectly stretches and allows you to use it in a variety of purposes. A cap, a bandage on the neck, a kerchief, a balaclava, a scrunchy - all this is a buff.

Experimenting with different variations of scarves, you can create your own unique image and always find a way to stand out from the crowd.
