Departing for foreign shores on vacation or for professional reasons often leaves us scratching our heads and wondering what to pack, especially if we are venturing off to somewhere that we have never been before. Not only are we unsure as to the temperatures and weather conditions that we are likely to encounter, but there is also that whole thing about not wanting to look out of place in either a fashion or a cultural sense. On top of all that, of course, there are the practicalities to take into consideration. After all, you can only fit so much into a suitcase, and so choosing a good variety of clothing and accessories which will work well together, serve a number of needs and are not too bulky is essential.
Feather light and able to be folded up or laid flat in a suitcase, silk scarves and shawls are ideal for taking away with you on your travels. In fact, they are ideal for wearing on your journey too, especially if you want to keep out the chill air during a flight. These practicalities aside though, one of the great things about these wonderful accessories is that they are both universally acceptable and fashionable all over the world.
From London, Paris, Milan, Rome and Tokyo to the most remote villages on the planet, it would be hard to think of a single place where, provided that it was worn in an appropriate manner, you would not be considered to be suitably attired in a silk scarf or shawl. In fact, in places such as those of religious worship, you positively would not be suitably attired without one. Just as significantly though, it would be hard to think of a single place where they would not equally be considered to be fashionable.
Throughout the years, both ordinary women and the rich and famous from around the world have played their part in ensuring that silk scarves and shawls have continually been around on the fashion scene. Whether on the chic boulevards in Paris or the stunning beaches of the South Pacific islands, they have been doing their bit to ensure that these highly versatile accessories endure as an essential ingredient in our closets.
Of course, whether we represent ourselves or the companies that we work for when we travel, most of us would want to make a statement which spoke of style and sophistication and, on these occasions, only the very best will do. For workmanship, quality and sheer vibrancy of color, there is nothing to compare with the glorious hand painted examples of silk scarves and shawls, and with a trip away planned, what better time to treat yourself?
