Shawls must surely be some of
the most versatile. Not only can they be used to adorn various parts of the body, but the variety of
different shapes and sizes means that they can be worn in a huge number of different ways to add flair, style and color to even the simplest of outfits.
shawls which are produced from natural silk truly offer
the utmost in versatility, simply because of the natural properties of the material. Being fine, delicate-looking and yet extremely strong, silk can not only be
tied without leaving large, unsightly and bulky knots, but it drapes in such a way that it appears to caress the contours of
the body without clinging.
Traditionally, of course,
silk scarves and shawls have been worn, in Western cultures at least, mainly around the head, neck and shoulders, but elsewhere in the world and in more
modern times, they serve as belts and sarongs, making them a
truly versatile and beautifully decorative accessory for just about any occasion. From a posh
cocktail do or a high-class wedding to a casual party, in the workplace or at the beach, it would be hard to think of an occasion where a stunning silk scarf or shawl would not be an
appropriate and delightful addition to any ensemble.
Not only do silk
scarves and shawls offer great versatility in terms of how and where they can be worn, however, but also because they are ageless,
timeless and flattering to all sizes and shapes. Scarves used as belts around the waist,
on hipster jeans or below the bust to create an empire line make a real fashion statement for younger women, and elsewhere on
the body are flattering to those of any age. Worn around the middle they beautifully accentuate small waists or detract from a
‘top heavy’ figure, whereas below the bust
they flatter a pear-shaped form.
