Intro

When it’s cold in the winter, scarves can do a great job of keeping you warm. The wind might be blowing and the snow might be falling, but a scarf made of a warm material can keep you nice and toasty.

Scarves aren’t just for warmth, though. Some people find them very fashionable. They wear scarves in bright colors or edgy patterns, or they wear them to match their outfits.

I like to wear scarves in winter. And I knit my own scarves. Well, not really good, but I can choose my favourite colour and decide how long and wide that I want.

Wearing scarves for women here is something compulsory, but the style of it has changed lately from being just a simple model to something trendy and even men are wearing them around their neck because it’s something trendy and people want to make their outfit attractive and get a lot of attention from the opposite sex.

Ancient Rome is one of the first origins of the scarf, where it was not used to keep warm, but to keep clean. It was called the sudarium, which translates from Latin to English as “sweat cloth”, and was used to wipe the sweat from the neck and face in hot weather. They were originally worn by men around their neck or tied to their belt. Soon women started using the scarves, which were made of cloth and not made of wool, pashmina, or silk, and ever since the scarf has been fashionable among women.  ~ This is what Wikipedia offers.



Scarves are undeniable element of fashion.Lacy and light, thick and woolen they add charm to both men and women outfits and keep the body warmer.

I think the most popular scarf among here and abroad is made of the material—silk cashmere which is softer and more beautiful and warm than the other material

it is convenient to wear a scarf in winter especially if we don´t want  to suffer  a sore throat  ,of course , the  fabric must be soft ,nothing itchy. also  a scarf naturally  enhances the beauty of a woman ,and that it might be the reason that many like  to use them ,not only because it is cold or  it became trendy  wearing scarves .

Wearing scarves isn’t popular the city where I live. However, some people wear it during winter time because it keeps them toasty and warm. Also, edgy outfits with sheer scarves have been trendy the other day among people especially young generation that make them fashionable. Furthermore, wearing scarves is compulsory quotient for women in some countries.
