A little history lesson is in order: Rome wasn't built in a day, nor was the popularity of scarves. The Romans used them as neck towels to keep cool, and soldiers in the Middle East wore them to signify their rank. During the world wars, knitted scarves were indispensable for soldiers to protect themselves from cold and tourniquets, and they were considered a symbol of patriotism. Over time, influential people became interested in scarves and incorporated them into their own wardrobe. When silk became a popular fabric in the West, companies started using it to create scarves.
The fashion brand Hermès quickly became famous for its scarves and remains today the most iconic fashion brand for scarves! Scarves are an incredibly trendy staple in many wardrobes today. In mainstream fashion, scarves often adorn the catwalks and pop culture has embraced the look. Some of the most popular looks involve scarves, and today we're going to show you some looks you can create using a scarf! So, without further ado, make way for scarves!
