FASHION UPDATE

Scarf it up

 
In a year where the keffeiyah has moved from being a political statement to a fashion one, never have scarves been so popular. It is the season to bundle up, and what better way to keep warm and be stylish than with a scarf. Tie it around your neck in a variety of different ways (for the uninitiated, there are several YouTube videos that demonstrate the art of scarf tying) or wrap it around your head, turban style or as a fashionable change from the usual headscarf. Along with regular scarves, pashminas, keffeiyahs, shawls and stoles all do the trick.

This is definitely the season to get innovative with scarves, and playing around with fabrics. Take a cue from Katie Holmes, who is a fan of the polka dot scarf from H&M's collaboration with Commes des Garcon.
You can opt to buy scarves from the high-end retailers, but if you don't want to splurge, opt for the cheaper pashminas or fashion your own (and for the truly dedicated, knit away!) Scarves are available everywhere from downtown markets and even inside shrines (we kid you not!). Whether you wrap them around your neck or drape them on a turtleneck – scarves are a must-have this season!
