What are Scarves Used For?
Women’s scarves are fashion accessories that can be used to protect the neck from the cold and add a pop of colour and pattern to your outfit. Much like other accessories, such as belts, hats and jewellery, scarves are available in a range of materials and designs. From luxuriously soft woollen scarves with a thick knit to beat the winter chill to silk and chiffon scarves.
Which Type of Scarf is Best?
Scarves come in many different styles and fabrics so that you can choose the best one for your occasion and outfit. Winter scarves are thick and soft to keep your neck warm in the colder months. A long scarf with a cable or rib knit can add the final touches to a casual outfit. Style them loosely over a jumper and pants orteam with a long sleeve top, jeans, a jacket and matching gloves. Acrylic scarves are just as luxuriously soft and warm as wool scarves but are lighter and machine-washable. Large scarves are great for draping around your neck and shoulders for more coverage when it’s chilly.
In the summer, choose delicate scarves with lightweight and breathable fabrics. Tie a skinny bandana scarf around your neck with an Australian Cotton top and shorts for a weekend-ready look or elevate a plain dress with a floral silk scarf and slip on a denim jacket for cooler evenings.
What are Popular Scarf Colours?
Scarf colours range from neutral to coloured and can be mixed and matched with your outfits to suit the mood and the season. A neutral colour palette is ideal for winter months. A black scarf is a classic and will go with many wardrobe basics, from a linen blazer and pants to jeans and a jumper.
Pattern scarves add interest to plain outfits. Bright colours and soft pastels look fresh in the spring and summer, while animal print scarves can refresh an evening look.
What are the Different Types of Scarves Available?
From dainty floral scarves in seasonal hues to chunky knit scarves that loop around the neck for comfort and warmth, there are plenty of scarf types to choose from. Some of the most popular types include:
- Silk scarves
- Knitted scarves
- Wrap scarves
- Loop scarves
- Square scarves
- Rectangular scarves
- Triangular scarves

Whether you can machine-wash your scarf to keep it fresh and clean will depend on the fabric. Wool, cashmere and silk scarves should always be hand washed. We suggest following the specific care instructions on the label of your specific scarf. For more aftercare tips on Sussan clothing, check out our Sussan Blog.
