Who doesn’t love that feeling of stepping off an airplane into a veritable wall of heat when they visit a warm country overseas? The promise of being able to peel off those heavy layers of clothes and soak up the sun is simply heavenly after being bundled up against the cold for so long. The only trouble is though, that returning home after a few weeks spent in tropical temperatures can make it feel as though you’ve taken a wrong turn and ended up in the Arctic!
Whenever you are planning a trip to warmer climes, there is not only the temperature at your destination to consider, but also that at each end of the journey and on the plane trip in between. You need to ensure that you are well wrapped up against the cold when you set off for the airport, that you have some protection against the chill of the air conditioning on board the plane and that you don’t freeze immediately on your return to your home territory and while you readjust to your local temperatures. This doesn’t have to mean investing in a whole wardrobe of different clothes to help you cope with different conditions though. All you need is a few fabulously warm silk scarves and pashminas and you will be ready for anything.
Despite being made of such light and fine material, women’s silk scarves are actually some of the warmest accessories that money can buy, making them ideal for wearing to and from the airport during the colder months, as well as on the plane itself. The natural qualities of silk, however, also mean that the fabric draws away moisture from the skin so that silk scarves are also perfect for wearing during vacations in hot countries. Not only can you use them to wrap around your body sarong-style, but long silk scarves can also be tied in such a way as to create halter-neck tops which look fantastic for those nights when you’re out clubbing. On cool evenings or when you’ve caught too much sun, just wrap them around your shoulders and wear them like shawls and the sumptuously soft fabric will keep you cozy and it won’t scratch against your skin.
Pashmina scarves and shawls, on the other hand, are perfect for wearing at each end of the journey and during cooler evenings abroad, but they also make the most wonderfully warm blankets for when you’re on the plane. Of course, both silk scarves and pashminas can then be worn time and time again when you get back from your vacation, making them a simply wonderful investment.
