Silk scarves are a classic, timeless accessory. They can add the finishing touch to an outfit, be worn in a variety of creative ways and make a wonderful gift for almost any woman.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Think about how the scarf might be worn to choose the right size. Scarves that are longer and larger than the standard square are more versatile. They can be tied around the waist, worn as a wrap or used as a long headband. Smaller scarves are the classic choice for tying to a purse or around the neck.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase a silk scarf adapted from a famous painting or artist for a fun wardrobe twist.

  3. Step 3

    Look for silk scarves hand-painted by local silk artists.

  4. Step 4

    Splurge on designer or imported silk scarves. Coach, Versace, Fendi and Hermes are but a few of the famous designers that carry signature silk scarves.

  5. Step 5

    Go for an exotic look with a scarf that's made of Thai raw silk or hand-embroidered in China or India.

Tips & Warnings
  • Check the description or label to make sure the scarf is truly 100 percent silk.
  • Check the authenticity of designer scarves when buying over the Internet. Make sure you can get a full refund if you find out the article is a fake.
