Scarves: Winters Secret Weapon

Rugging up with neck line fashion
Here in Sydney the gloomy weather and chill in the air has made it feel like winter has arrived early. Rugging up to fight the elements in the last few weeks I’ve pulled out the scarf and beanie (Tuque) as weapons of choice.
Practical and importantly warm, an old hand-me-down favourite serves as a security blanket of sorts. Choosing an appropriately coloured scarf can add a sense of style and class to the winter wardrobe that is often underestimated.
Light or heavy, bright versus dark manufactured in a variety of fabrics there is an unspoken boldness to scarves that will always deem them a statement, even if it is one that granny knitted you last Christmas.
One has to assume that scarves have been around for as long as clothing itself has existed, yet little has probably changed on an aesthetic level. What has evolved though is the way prestigious fashion labels have embraced them as an essential accessory on the runways for winter collections.
There is elegance to the finely crafted, knitted woollen or cashmere neck wear that can sometimes accentuate the curves that seem missing when wearing a heavy coat. Breaking up the ensemble and directing the eye from top to bottom instead of the other way around.
