]]>You’ve probably wondered to yourself many a times if there is a way to prevent such a catastrophe. Well, you can put your worrying aside my friends, because there is a solution to this problem. The methods are different depending on the fiber of your scarf, but they’re simple.
Protein fiber: These are fibers from an animal, which includes wool, cashmere and angora. Fold your scarf up, stick it in a Ziploc baggy and put it in the freezer for 24 hours. This will stop the shedding problem and should be done before each wear.
Cellulose fiber: These fibers are from plants and include cotton and linen. Just throw the scarf in the dryer for about 10 minutes before wearing. Easy fix.
Synthetic fiber: These fibers are man-made, such as acrylic, polyester or nylon. These fibers aren’t meant to shed, so if yours is, you might be able to return it. But be sure that the scarf is 100% synthetic before complaining to customer service.
For all scarves, it helps to hand wash them with mild detergents. The spinning and rubbing of the washing machine could provoke scarf shedding, as could certain detergents. Avoid storing them against rough surfaces like concrete walls or unpolished woods. Follow these tips and you will hopefully never be covered in scarf hair again!

]]>Scarves come in many shapes, sizes and, importantly, fabrics. A scarf’s fabrication determines its texture, appearance, and weather-appropriateness, so you should always pay attention to fabric when you’re shopping for scarves.
Peruse the fabric descriptions below to determine the best type of scarf material for you and your lifestyle. See below the scarf fabric guide!
Alpaca:Alpaca scarves are made from wool of the alpaca, a domesticated species of South American camelid. Alpaca fleece is a lustrous and silky natural fiber similar to sheep’s wool, but warmer and softer. Alpaca scarves are therefore warm, but not too warm, and make for an excellent winter scarf. They’re also lightweight and hypoallergenic, making them a good choice for people with wool allergies. However, alpaca scarves can be pricey, and they require special care when washing. |
|
Cashmere:This soft, luxurious fabric is made from the wool of the cashmere goat. It is light in weight and, when handled with care, becomes softer with time. A Cashmere scarf is warm but not heavy, making it ideal for layering in colder weather. Because it’s such a delicate fabric, cashmere scarves require gentle washing and should be stored carefully to avoid damage. |
|
Cotton:Classic and easy, cotton is staple for its ability to be laundered and its durability. It’s a cool fabric, perfect for summer wear. Cotton scarves come in a wide variety of weights, weaves, and prints, making them appropriate for any occasion. The only drawback to cotton is that it wrinkles easily. |
|
Jersey:This stretchy, soft cotton is breathable and light-weight. Jersey is an ideal pallet for beading, studding, sequins, and other embellishment. Because it's so flexible, jersey is often used for infinity scarves. The fabric can also be made from wool, but these jerseys are less common. |
|
Linen:Promoted for its coolness, linen is often considered the most breathable fabric of the bunch. It is made from the fibers of the flax plant. It's perfect for warm weather because it's cooler than other fabrics, but it wrinkles very easily. A linen scarf can add a sophisticated touch to any outfit. |
|
Pashmina:Pashmina refers to a type of shawl or scarf made from the cashmere wool of the pashmina goat. A Pashmina scarf are soft, lightweight, and warm. They're also very versatile, as they can be worn in a variety of ways. Pashmina scarves do require special care when washing, however, as the fabric is delicate. A pashmina scarf is ideal for chilly temperatures. |
|
Satin:Satin is a glossy, soft fabric most often made from silk or polyester. Satin comes in several forms or weaves, which may vary in shine, thickness, flexibility, and weight. It's often used for evening wear or other special occasions because of its luxurious appearance. However, satin can be difficult to care for and is not ideal for everyday wear. |
|
Silk:Silk is a natural protein fiber obtained from the larvae cocoons of the mulberry silkworm. It can be shiny or matte in luster, and is especially delicate. |
|
Wool:Wool comes from the fleece of sheep and other animals. It’s very warm, durable, and with proper care should last you for years. Wool scarves should be washed by hand and laid flat to dry. |
While most people think of scarves as a winter accessory, they can be worn year-round. No matter what the season, no matter the fashion style, there's a scarf material that's right for you.

Swooning over this adorable look by Rebecca of The Clothes Horse featuring our Patti Pashmina Scarf in Black! Rebecca is a 27 year old blogger living in Pennsylvania. When asked what her fashion philosophy is Rebecca answered;
To dress in a way that expresses myself creatively and makes me feel confident. When I am in an outfit I really like I feel a little untouchable—no one can really criticize my appearance because I am completely at ease in my clothes. I suppose one philosophy is: wear what you like so much that everyone else can hate it and it doesn’t bother you.

If you’re the brave sort and don’t mind sporting a bit of rich deep color during cold months then you could try a combination of dark fur coat with a black fur scarf. Worn the other way around in a black fur coat accentuated with a dark fur scarf works well too, but is more of a safe and subdued choice.
Match a fitted ribbed dress in neutral tone, either white or black with a black fur coat and a dark toned fur scarf to add a bit of allure to the entire look, match with a pair of cutout ankle booties.
Get noticed and make a fine impression with a bold and radical choice with color on color fur on fur combinations that will blow your mind away.

]]>With a myriad of options to choose from, there are several key factors to keep in mind while buying a scarf. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind the next time you are looking to buy scarves.
Choose with care
The rule of thumb when buying a scarf is to check on quality and softness of the material. Pamper your senses with a luxuriant scarf; when shopping look for pieces that feel soft to the touch, ones that can be easily draped and have a flow or ample fall to the fabric. Fabrics like silk, chiffon, cashmere, soft knit, and charmeuse are wonderful options certain to be pleasing to touch and the eye, of course. Since chunky and thick knits are all the rage this winter, pick soft and cozy scarves to drape around your neck.
Inspect both sides
Before buying a scarf, remember to check both sides. Although the print on the front might be exciting and pleasing to the eye, the other side might not be as appealing. Remember that both sides of the scarf will show when worn, so always check what’s on the flip side. Less expensive scarves also tend to bleed after a wash, staining the side on the bottom, so be careful to check the print and especially dye used to avoid blotchy color runs that shave off overall charm when worn. It’s best when both sides are beautiful and equally attractive. Scarves.net shows scarves as they would be worn, showing both sides and any contrasting colors or patterns. View all the images carefully to get a good look before you buy. We also have care instructions for the scarves so that you can keep them looking beautiful for years.
The longer the better
Embrace length this season with long and sleek scarves that make brilliant figure cover ups. Work long scarves to your advantage and disguise short waists and necks while more buxom women can use long scarves to give their figure a more elongated and balanced look. Wrapped around the neck or worn in a loose loop with the ends dangling on either side, long scarves make wonderful and chic impressions in flattering statement style additions to everyday silhouettes.
