Can You Wear a Silk Scarf in Spring and Summer?

Yes, if you choose the right fabric. Silk-wool is for cooler weather. Silk chiffon is for everything else.

Silk chiffon is sheer and lightweight. It catches light and moves with the smallest breeze. In warm weather it does a lot:

• Covers your shoulders from the sun
• Takes the edge off air-conditioning in offices, trains and restaurants
• Works as a light wrap over a sleeveless dress in the evening
• Ties at the neck or in your hair when you want color without warmth

Lighter, brighter designs feel right in warm months. Calm Camomile is golden and warm. Clear Blue is bright and clean.

One care note: silk chiffon is dry clean only. If you prefer the way it looks after a hand wash, you can carefully hand wash it in cold water and dry it flat.

So the fall scarf and the summer scarf can be the same design, just in a different fabric.
