Whether you wear it for a casual or formal occasion, this accessory will give you a certain air of elegance that can only be achieved by donning a piece. It is the best accessory to elevate even the most casual of looks.

Scarves come in different materials and sizes. If you’re wondering what type of scarf you should buy, here is a summary of the most commonly used scarves:

Knitted Scarf

Bop Basics Thick Knit Infinity Scarf, US$68

A knitted scarf is usually made of pure wool, cashmere wool, cotton blend,  acrylic, viscose, Pashmina silk or a blend of any of these yarns. Those made of wool are thicker and are usually used during winter. Most knitted scarves feature patterns that are either geometric, paisley, or nature oriented such as plants, animals, or flowers.

Crochet Scarf

Madewell Metallic Crochet Scarf, US$68

The crochet scarf can be considered as the knitted scarf’s little sister. Whereas the knitted scarf is done by machine, the crochet scarf is done by hand. Crochet scarves also feature patterns or motifs, and are also made of either wool, acrylic, cotton, silk, cashmere, or a blend of sorts. Depending on the technique used, a crochet scarf can be thin enough to be worn during the day, or thick enough to be worn during winter.

Pashmina Scarf

A pure Pashmina scarf is made of 100% soft goat wool.  Most Pashmina scarves however come in a mix of Pashmina wool mixed with silk. It is lightweight but it can surprisingly keep you warm if you’re suddenly feeling a little cold. It is a great accessory to wear from day to night. This is why a lot of women bring a Pashmina wrap with them wherever they go – night time or day time, it’s fashionable to use.

Silk Scarf

Silk is a very special woven fabric. Because it is shiny in nature, it offers a more dressy appeal and is most ideal for dressier occasions and dressier outfits. Most silk scarves come in unique patterns. When worn as a neck accessory, a silk scarf can easily become a fashion statement. A silk scarf can either be 100% natural silk, or a blend of natural and synthetic silk. High-end brands like Chanel and Hermes usually have silk scarves in their product offerings.

Chiffon Scarf

Haute Hippe Ruffle Silk Scarf, US$395

Chiffon is a thin, lightweight, and slightly translucent fabric. Like the silk scarf, it offers a more dressy appeal and would be most ideal for accessorizing dressier outfits. Chiffon can be made of 100% silk or a mix of sorts. Some chiffon scarves are embellished with beads, appliqué,  ruffles, or sequins, making it all the more glamorous to use.

Other materials being used to make scarves are velvet, rayon, jersey, viscose, and satin.

Remember that the size of a scarf also varies. Usually, the size dictates how it can be used.

For example, a small scarf can be used as a head scarf, neck scarf, or a bag scarf.

A medium sized scarf can be used as a neck scarf (with more styling options than the small)  and it can also be used as a hip accessory.

A larger and wider scarf is the one that can be used in many ways. It can be used as a neck scarf (with more styling options), as a wrap to keep you warm in case you’re feeling cold or just want to cover up, as a sarong that you can use to cover up your bikini, or even as a halter or tube top.

If you don’t have at least one scarf in your closet yet, we deeply urge you to get one. Buy it in solid color so you can use it more often. Trust us, once you start wearing a piece of scarf, you will soon realize it is an accessory you cannot do without.
