Origins of Scarves

A scarf traditionally was worn by women as a sign of modesty, and was incorporated as a dress code in some religions. It had an effect of adding an aura and grace around the wearer’s face. Today a scarf is not limited to religious or pious uses. It is as much of a fashion statement as a necktie is.

Scarf-Tying Tutorial
