A favourite with celebs, the neck scarf makes for a light yet elegant accessory...
It isn't shawl and sweater weather yet, but if you're looking to stay warm in the cold office environment or just go stylish with that white shirt, opt for a neckerchief. This simple, square scarf that was once associated with sailors and scouts, is tied in a knot around the neck, and is an accessory that every woman ought to have in her wardrobe. To find one that you like, browse about at the stalls at Colaba Causeway or Bandra's Hill Road, where it's available in plain colours as well as prints. A nod to yesteryear charm, here are a few tips to wear the neckerchief...1) Heading out for a long drive or day-long picnic?
Wrap a red and white polka-dotted neckerchief loosely around your neck.2) For the office, try a sheer white or grey one with a white or black shirt. Or opt for a paisley print one in silk or chiffon.3) A leopard-print necker chief works well with a caramel or navy blue shirt and denims.4) On a holiday? We suggest you try a jungle or Aztec print one.5) For some Parisian chic, do a French knot. Just fold the scarf in half and drape it around your shoulders. Take one end and pull it under the loop of the scarf. Take the sec ond end go under and over the same loop and you're done!
