Check out your mother’s or your grandmother’s closet and you are almost certain to find at least one silk scarf or shawl. These beautiful accessories have been around for years and have served elegant women all around the world extremely well throughout the ages. Far from being the preserve of those over the age of forty, however, they are the young, trendy woman’s best friend too. Whether you are looking to create the ultimate in today’s shabby chic style or want to stand out as the most desirable and yet untouchable girl in the room, then choosing a stunning handmade silk scarf or shawl could not be a better investment.
Perhaps more so than ever before, young women want to create their own individual style which tells the world who they are and what they are about. The shabby chic style which has come and gone several times in recent history and is now back in fashion once again speaks of individuality and the unconventional. It is casual and yet never scruffy. It incorporates elements of the worn and yet the overall look is slightly dreamy, almost romantic and most certainly bohemian. It looks as though it has been thrown together, and yet it is a style which is very much contrived. It is a look which can make any woman stand out from the crowd, and with a silk scarf or shawl, it is one which is simple and inexpensive to create.
Colors and tones are an important ingredient of the shabby chic style and those which are softer, more muted or look slightly faded are perfect. Rose or dusky pinks, pale grays, mustards, yellows and lavenders, the types of colors that we would think of as being slightly old-fashioned, are perfect for this look, as are the more traditional designs such as florals. Layers too are a vital component of shabby chic for women and these are all areas where hand painted silk scarves and shawls can really help to create just the right style. With their unique designs in such an array of colors and the soft, romantic look and feel of the silk fabric, they look absolutely perfect when teamed with that well-loved and well-worn pair of jeans, and when worn over camisoles, shirts or even that favorite denim jacket.
For those who want to create a completely different kind of look, one which combines sexy with the ultimate in class, silk scarves in particular are perfect. While the look and feel of the gorgeous silk fabric and the unique hand painted design project an image of exquisite taste and luxury, the way in which it is worn can be intensely alluring and even provocative. Whether you just want to give the barest glimpse of shoulder or be really daring and wear your scarf as a halter neck top, the combination of class with sex appeal will drive your admirers crazy.
