Three things to consider before buying a scarf
To keep really warm, choose wool. If you find that wool irritates your skin, we recommend that you choose one of these softer types:
Merino is a really soft type of wool, from the Merino sheep, that have been bred specifically for their soft wool. Look out for mulesing-free wool, so you know that your shawl has been made in a humane way, without any sheep suffering.
Cashmere is very soft, but on the other hand it costs a lot. If you think that you'll be wearing your scarf for many years to come, it may be worth it – it is difficult to find a similarly wonderful fabric.
Mohair comes from the angora goat, and creates a silky scarf that doesn't itch.
In the summer, a scarf that protects you against the wind on particularly windy days could be a good idea.
- Silk is one of the softest fabrics you can find. A pretty silk scarf is an elegant accessory to liven up any outfit.
- Cotton breathes well, which is comfortable if you easily get too hot. A cotton scarf can be nice for spring or slightly cooler summer evenings.
- Acrylic is a synthetic fabric that people with sensitive skin often choose. However, it does not have optimal breathability and it pills easily.
A scarf can be worn in many different ways: in your hair, around your neck, around your head, or as an accessory on your bag. Colour, shape, and size are mainly a matter of taste, but if you want to wrap it properly around your neck, it should be a little longer. A narrower scarf is often easier to tie, if you want to match it nicely with a blazer. If you want to wear a scarf to wear in your hair, for example around your ponytail, you should choose a smaller and narrower type.
