Breezy, trendy and so ‘IT’ – chiffon scarves for women

Chiffon is a lightweight, see-through fabric that is made of synthetic fibers or cotton. Its sheer texture and light, glossy feel gives it a chic, delicate and almost ethereal look. That is why women love wearing chiffon scarves.

Chiffon scarves may be worn in a number of ways. Since the material literally flows around, it is possible to drape the scarf carelessly around the neck, cover the head, fling it over the shoulders or sport it around the hips. You could even tie the chiffon scarf in the traditional knot and look elegantly formal.

One of the most attractive chiffon scarves is the pure black chiffon scarf. This scarf has the same luxurious feel of chiffon. The black chiffon scarf may be worn with élan to formal events or to fun parties. In short, the black chiffon scarf is like the little black dress in a woman’s wardrobe. It’s all purpose wear. However, chiffon scarves must be combined well with the attire and must be draped elegantly if you want to get the right effect from them. Here are a few tips to help you:

• Short chiffon scarves look amazing when they are wrapped around the head. They may be used as a hair band that holds your thick tresses in place. Colorful chiffon scarves can do a lot to adorn the head and make a casual hairstyle look gorgeous.
• Chiffon scarves in gold and russet look beautiful when they are casually draped around the shoulders, particularly if you are wearing full sleeved black tees.
• Long chiffon scarves may be draped around the hips to draw attention to a small waist. When it is draped tastefully, chiffon scarves can make the waist look smaller than it actually is, a fact that wins this scarf plenty of brownie points from women.
• Black chiffon scarves may be worn to formal occasions.
• If you want to look cool and elegant on the beach, simply drape a chiffon scarf around the hips. Your beach wear suddenly looks ultra cool and you’ll stand out beautifully from the rest of the crowd.
• A short chiffon scarf may be tied carelessly around the neck and turned to the side to obtain a casual look.

In this way, chiffon scarves can really add oodles of oomph to your dress. Since chiffon is naturally ornamental, it is not necessary to wear other accessories when you drape a chiffon scarf around the neck.

However, to get maximum mileage out of your chiffon scarf, it is important to take good care of the scarf. Gentle wash is recommended and only when necessary. The scarf must not be dried in direct sunlight. Frequent washing makes the scarf lose its color and sheen.
