Everyday in New Orleans, I now see someone with a scarf on in someway. From wrapped around their head, their waste, draped around the shoulders, tied around the neck, to new creations. Who would have ever thought this would become such a big deal especially here.

Now the everyday person and hip hop to pop artist is rocking the scarf. But the scarf look has been around beyond 2008, worn by many and made the most popular by Hermes, which has been around since the day their first ad launched back in 1979 introducing a lady in a scarf. Another popular choice from the beginning was Burberry with their fabulous famous signature pattern.
For those not so in the loop, a scarf is a piece of fabric that can be worn around the neck, representing fashion to religious and warmth purposes. If worn right the Scarf can be a hot look during any season. In the hotter, drier climates such as our wonderful city, the scarf of choice is a thin knitted scarf.

In the colder climates, the scarf of choice is a thick knitted scarf most popular is that of wool material. The thin scarf has become a way of life in Urban America. The wonderful fresh colors and cuts have made it very cool and funky accessory. But there is a need for the return of the silk scarf as well, its hot and a little on the snooty couture side, as I so love to call it.
The scarf too me is a way for individuals to be able to be a little more creative and add a little personal flair to even the simplest outfit. This can all be seen in the choice of scarf down to how you drape the scarf around you. Everything is up to your interpretation.

So all my wonderful NOLA Fashionistas go out and get you a scarf for your wardrobe.
