I love to travel and for my travels I have a checklists of things I should have with me while I am on the road. Silk scarf is a “must have” for traveling. In this post let me explain you why.
Silk scarf keeps you warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather
That’s just a quality of silk. Say, you are in Uzbekistan in late August. It is really hot during the day but by 8 pm you would want something warm around your shoulders. That’s when a silk scarf comes handy.
Or, let’s say you are in Venice. When you are walking on a mainland the temperature is perfect, but when you travel by canal boats it gets windy. You will be glad to have something to cover your neck with.
Silk scarf for going from day to evening
I am not a big fan of carrying heavy suitcases. I like to pack light and I carry minimum of everything. With that minimum I know what very few accessories I should take with me to add a few touches to my outfits in case I need to meet someone for coffee or dinner. Bright silk scarf is one of them. Radiant silk scarf beautifully reflects artificial light. It makes me look mysterious and dressed for that terrace dinner.
“A scarf is a perfect travel accessory because of its versatility. A scarf can be worn to keep you warm, protect you from the sun, or cover you for modesty. It can also make a fashion statement and help dress up an outfit.”

Meeting entrance requirements (not only when traveling actually)
In your travels have you ever been stopped from entering a mosque or church because your shoulders were open? I have.
Have you been told to cover your head before entering a historic religious site? I have.
How about you are casually dressed but need a quick trick to pass a dress code test?
This is why having a beautiful silk scarf in your travels with you will save you. Most importantly silk is a very lightweight material. It weights close to nothing and it takes very little space in your bag. Silk scarves are very versatile. With very little effort they make our lives more pleasant and comfortable. We also have a very limited selection but absolutely gorgeous hand painted silk batik scarves.
