Solid color silk scarves are the scarves in one solid color. Often times with fabrics like cotton solid color scarves may look too simple but not with silk. Silk as a fabric has a beautiful noble sheen which plays in different hues of the main silk scarf color depending on an angle of light bouncing off a scarf. In our ikat online store we carry 3 types of scarves – silk ikat scarves, solid silk scarves and a few silk batik scarves. In this post we would like to talk about solid silk scarves and ways to use them.  If you make it till the end of this post we will share with you one very special secret, so, please keep reading.

Keeping it clean but chic for a business attire

Solid silk scarves are excellent for occasions when one needs to project a clean look with a touch of chic. This is when a noble silk texture will pair beautifully with a suit. Using a solid silk scarf in a bright color will add some playfulness to a professional look and we all need some playfulness in corporate offices, would you agree?

Keep it simple without a pattern

Putting together different patterns is a complex art. A pattern on top of a pattern may overwhelm your overall image and create a visual noise. This is when it is important to keep things simple. Say, you are wearing a patterned blazer. Adding a patterned scarf on top of a pattern should be done carefully. Meanwhile you will not go wrong by adding a solid silk scarf to your outlook. In general, if you are afraid to make a statement with an outfit, a safer way to go is keeping an outfit simple but adding a scarf.

Cool in summer, warm in winter

Silk fabric has amazing thermal qualities. It keeps body cool in summer and warm in winter. This is why having silk scarves as accessories is not only a matter of style but also very practical.  Our silk scarves are very light and they fold into a tiny piece of silk fabric, which takes almost no place in your purse. 

Neutral color silk scarf

For minimalists or those going in a direction of  “less is more” we can suggest solid silk scarves in neutral colors. We have silk scarves in darker gray, light gray, camel color and cream color.

“Scarves now are so popular that they kind of taken over from statement necklaces and statement jewelry as the accessory to complete the look”

In case you want to stand out in a crowd…

Uzbek culture is all about vibrant colors. Black and white monochrome scheme arrived in Uzbekistan with Europeans. Until then we only wore technicolor clothes. (now we wear both technicolor and monochrome J ) Genes don’t change in a few generations and we still love vivid colors.  For occasions when you want to stand out and be seen we have solid silk scarves in wildest colors imaginable like bright green and fuchsia colors.

Dimensions

Our solid scarves are in a long rectangular shape, which is perfect for a neck scarf or a hair scarf. They usually measure around 146 cm x 49 cm (which is 57.5″ x 49″). You can also wear them as colorful belts or use them as a bag accessory. The width of the scarf is limited by a width of a handloom, which brings us to the next point…

Handmade artisanal quality 100% pure silk scarves

Our solid silk scarves are hand dyed and handloom woven by artisans in Fergana Valley of Uzbekistan. They are made of local Uzbek mulberry silk, which is one of the finest and most durable types of silk.

Caring for solid silk scarves

Caring instructions for silk are always the same – dry clean!  You can hand wash silk scarves if you choose but please do that in cold water with a shampoo, separately from everything else. Please keep in mind that the threads at the end of the silk scarves will get tangled if washed – not a horrible thing but we thought we would warn you. Obviously, the scarf will slightly lose its shape. So, dry clean is still the best way to go.
