Scarves, Mufflers and Stoles for the Fashionistas

151

Winter is now at its all time chill. Bracing the cold bites is a tough task. Care for a cup of coffee wrapped in fashion-best scarves, mufflers and stoles? Ah, that sounds cool, rather a warm idea.

Despite the freezing temperatures, what can make even the chilled bone look superhot is a range of warmies. Shawls and cardigans are very much around but what sets the fashion fever and beautifully so are scarves, mufflers and stoles that come in many fabric materials, sizes and styles. Take a look at these winter must-haves.

Scarves & Wraps

A Scarf also known as Neck-wrap is worn around multiple places – neck, near the head or around the waist. This is done more from a fashion perspective as also warmth and sometimes for religious reasons. Though they are available in a variety of colours, monogrammed scarves can be personalised with name initials. Ancient Rome has been the place of origin of Scarves. Prestigious labels include Burberry, Missoni, Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Lanvin, Ferragamo, Dior, Fendi, Prada and Louis Vuitton.

1. Cashmere

Much can be said about this tassel detail cashmere scarf from Burberrys. Like the model wearing it, the stone-cum-vibrant orange tassles at both the ends but most of all the animal print. This is something that looks truly iconic hot.

2. Fur

Smoky effect in this Smoked Trench Check scarf has its own story of fascination. The elegant fur trim and the lightweight cashmere, wool and silk blend might even take you to the icy Antarctica without a doubt.

Stoles

A Stole is usually a formal shawl made of expensive material and is wrapped around the shoulders. Normally worn as a party dress or a ball gown, a Stole is narrower than a Shawl. Women stoles are handcrafted by using materials such as Silk, Pashmina, Cotton, Woollen, Georgette, Viscose and others. As for the variety, there are embroidered stoles, beaded stoles, sequin stoles and even stoles with mirror work.

Going by religious scriptures, worshipped Gods such as Vishnu and his several incarnations such as Rama and Krishna are believed to have been wearing a yellow stole (Peetambar) over their shoulder. Hindu Gods like Ganesha and Hanuman are known to have worn stoles on shoulder or waist in various glorious styles. It goes with saying that stoles have been worn by ancient kings, queens, priests and elite people.
