Trend - scarves
The sizzling accessory this season.
A scarf is not simply a scarf. It is a belt, a cap, a bow, and a bandana. Anywhere you want to add a dash of color, just tie a knot, says shweta taneja.
Knotty!
It is easy to wear, looks chic and notches up your style meter. A scarf is the sizzling accessory of the season. You can add spunk to any situation - a night out with friends, an important meeting or a picnic with family. Also, to hide a tear, to camouflage a bad-hair day or to simply add some spice to your look. The market is flooded with colourful scarves in slinky chiffons, chic silks and warm crochets in different sizes. Choose according to the look you want.
Here are some strong trends for the season.
Animal prints:
These are straight of the European catwalks. A strong look for the fashion savy, prints of animal skins, animal sketches, patches, etc are combined with floral prints and bright colours like pink and peach in splashes. Ideal to bring life to that worn-many-times office suit.
Like a painting:
Modern art, spurts of color on the canvas. The print is abstract with a color medley to brighten up. An elegant way to add some colour to your outfit. Add to an earthy suit for a meeting or on a red halter for oomph.
Black or white:
Stark and bare. Black and white printed scarves can look good with a single coloured outfit. For a sophisticated formal look, add white pearls.
Geometric and optical:
Lines, circles, psychedelic prints, bright, in your face 1960's prints are hot! colourful lines and polka dots are the classic faves. But the bold can experiment with neon colours in abstract pucci-like or picasso-style looks. Very groovy baby!
