How To Tie And Wear Silks:
These accessories are not just for keeping your neck warm in the cold winter months. A pretty scarf can take
your look from something simple to something extraordinary with just a few wraps around the neck.
If you really want to make a statement, silk scarves may be just the piece you're looking for. These lightweight fashion accessories offer a beautiful flowing movement.
Many colors and designs are available for you to choose from...so many that you're sure to find one or two that can
go with just about any outfit you own!
You don't have to wear them only around your neck. There are many ways in which to dress your body
with scarves:
- > You can wrap them around your head
- > Wear them as shawls, put them around your waist as a belt
- > You can form them into a shape you want and attach them to your clothing with a pretty pin or broach,
If you're wearing them in the traditional way around the neck, you may simply wrap it around the back of the neck
and let the two pieces hang in front, or you might want to tie them.
Tying a scarf is pretty simple. There are a couple of different simple knots you're able to use:
- > One easy way to tie your scarf, is to make a loose knot in one end, drape the scarf around your neck,
put the end without the knot through the knot you've made and pull the ends making both sides even
- > Another way is to fold the scarf in two, wrap it around the back of the neck and put the two ends through
the loop on the other end.
You can also make bows, in much the same way you would tie your shoes. Once you've made the bow, just adjust
the ends and spread the bow so that it's sitting how you wish it to sit.
There is no right or wrong way to wear these fashion accessories. No matter where you choose to put it,
tie it, or drape it, you can be sure it's going to look great!
How to care for silks:
First, we highly recommend having your garment taken to the dry cleaners. That is the safest and easiest way to have you silk accessory last for many years to come. However, if you care to try it yourself, here are a few recommendations:
>Test a small patch before thoroughly cleaning
>Hand washing is preferred as washing machines can be rougher to these, even though
the gentle cycle may be used
>As silk is a protein fibre... just like human hair, they can be washed using shampoo
and rinsed with warm but not too hot water.
>It is important not to wring water out as the material as it can be damaged
>Hang to dry, but not in direct sunlight if possible.
