Now that Fall is just around the corner, it is time to take out sweaters, coats, cardigans, and scarves to keep yourself warm and look chic. As the temperature outside begins to drop, you would want to stay warm and cozy without sacrificing your touch of elegance. A scarf draped around the neck is the easiest yet the best way to look modest and glamorous this fall.
Additionally, silk clothing is exceedingly in request, and people from all around the world are looking for distinctive color variations. This incorporates silk ikat scarves as well. Modern ikat scarves have become a favorite accessory for women.
Silk ikat scarves are the softest and most exquisite of all the ikat scarves. They stand out from the others due to the smoothness of the texture of the fabric, the pleasantness to the touch, and the shining gleam. The silk ikat scarf is a rich piece that will be a wonderful cloth accessory for all seasons, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Silk ikat scarves are truly one-of-a-kind textile treasures!
The beauty of real ikat silk scarves
With authentic ikats (not ikat prints which only imitate real ikats!) each color represents how many times the yarn was tied and dyed before it was given to weavers for weaving, Let’s take, for example, this Turquoise silk scarf. There is dark red, hot pink, emerald green, mustard yellow, graying white, purple and purple-gray colors. That’s 7. That’s how many times the silk yarn was tied, submerged in a pot with a dye, dried and untied. This is an entirely manual work and it is no wonder so many people try to take shortcuts and to imitate ikats. However, those who have worked with both ikat prints and authentic ikats – us included – can certify that no print ikat will measure up to a real ikat. Print ikats miss million things that real genuine ikats offer with the main one being the artisanal craftsmanship and an energy.
Keeping this in mind, let’s proceed to talk about the other reasons why you need a silk ikat scarf this fall.
1. Ikat Silk Scarves Keep You Warm
One of the more practical reasons why you need to wear a silk ikat scarf is to keep you warm. Think about it – the neck is often exposed to the cold air regardless of whether or not you have a jacket on. When you wear a silk ikat scarf, you can protect the neck with ease and comfort. The silk not only keeps your body warm but also allows it to breathe so that you don’t get too sweaty underneath. You can also protect your nose and ears spots where a jacket collar does not reach. Therefore, silk ikat scarves actually offer so much more than style to those who wear them.
2. Silk Scarves are Versatile
Silk ikat scarves are immensely practical and wonderfully versatile pieces of clothing. Ways of styling silk scarves are endless! They are made from strong but super soft silk that can be worn in a variety of ways. Such as a chic bowed French style neck scarf; long and flowing to add the finishing touch to any outfit; casual with a t-shirt and jeans, or combined with a smart business suit. They can also be tied to your hair as a head wrap, bandana, evening stole, or sarong or worn as a belt. You can even tie them around handbags as an additional accessory. Buy your favorite silk ikat scarf and be creative with it!
