What Do Hand Painted Silk Scarves and Shawls Say About Their Wearers?

Through the eyes of the onlooker, everything that we wear says something about us as an individual. Clothes, jewelry and make-up, and even the accessories that we either wear or carry all make a personal statement which others will interpret.

Picture for a moment a woman wearing an old pair of sneakers and sweatpants. If you saw her working in her garden, you probably would not bat an eyelid. If you saw her collecting her children from school, it might cross your mind that she was very busy and did not have time to change. In most other situations though, your impression would quite likely be that she was the type of person who did not really take much care with her appearance.

Now think about a woman wearing a stunning hand painted silk scarf or shawl. Whether she was in the workplace, at the mall, taking a stroll through the park, eating at a nice restaurant or stepping from a limousine on to a red carpet, your impression would almost certainly be one of elegance, sophistication and style. She would probably strike you as someone who appreciated luxury and was self-assured enough to feel that she deserved it, and you would probably also get a strong sense of her individuality.

One of the things about the impressions that others get of us is that they tend to treat us according to those views. If the woman in the sneakers and sweatpants walked into a high-class store, for example, the assistant would very likely take one look at her, consider the chances of making a sale extremely low and be quite keen to usher her right back out of the door. If the lady in the hand painted silk scarf or shawl were to enter, however, she would attract much more positive attention, even if the scarf or shawl were accompanied by nothing more than a pair of jeans and a sweater.

Very few women have an unlimited budget to work with when it comes to clothes and accessories and, in many cases their budgets will be quite small. That does not have to mean, however, that they have to exude anything less than style and class. Worn with or over even plain, simple and inexpensive items of clothing, a sumptuous handmade silk scarf or shawl can elevate an outfit from the ranks of the decidedly average and unremarkable to those of high-class elegance – and it can do it without breaking the bank.

Although fabulous silk scarves in particular have been the signature of many a celebrity, these stunning accessories are worn by ordinary women of all ages and around the world to help them stand out as fashionable ladies of refinement and sophistication. Whatever the occasion and in whichever style they are worn, they declare that the wearer understands and appreciates quality and is not prepared to settle for anything less. Isn’t that how you would like to be viewed…as a woman of taste?

Black Skin – The Perfect Foil For Fabulous Silk Scarves and Shawls

Ask men of all origins about who are the most beautiful women and you can guarantee that most will include several of the world’s most gorgeous black ladies in their list. With their huge dark eyes, full lips and typically flawless skin in a whole range of shades from honey to deep ebony, it is no wonder that black women have such enormously seductive appeal.

Aside from the other naturally beautiful features that they are born with, the skin tones of black women in many ways leaves them at a huge advantage over their paler skinned counterparts. Not only can they usually get away with a much wider range of colors, but in many cases they can use stronger, bolder shades which make a really striking and eye-catching statement but would make a blue-eyed blonde look totally washed out. Strong designs too, often look better against a background of smooth dark skin, allowing black women to achieve a certain flamboyance which would be overstated on those with fairer skin.

The hand painted designs which are created in the production of handmade silk scarves and hand-dyed silk shawls lend themselves extremely well to dark-skinned women because both the colors and the patterns are strong. Unlike with the mass-produced alternatives, the range of colors which are used is far wider and takes in the whole palette of shades and hues, so that matching them perfectly to skin tone, hair color or particular outfits is very much easier. As each design is unique too, the wearer of one of these gorgeous accessories can make her own individual statement about who she is and her own personal style and taste. The smooth 100% silk which goes into the making of handmade scarves and shawls is another reason why these work so well on black women, as the fabric adds even more glow to dark skin, giving the wearer an irresistible luminescence and radiance.

Black hair also makes for an amazing foil for a stunning and brightly-colored handmade scarf, and these gorgeous accessories worn in the hair are particularly attractive on dark-skinned women. As in many cases black women have thick hair whose texture is less fine, the silk fabric tends to slip less and so they can be far more creative in terms of the style of wearing.

The luxury of handmade silk scarves and shawls is something which is though, appreciated by all women, regardless of their origin. Just the very look and feel of them, not to mention the knowledge that so much talent and work has gone into their production, makes you feel pampered and special and ‘worth it’. The look of stunning elegance and sophistication that they create on women of all ages, shapes and sizes is one which causes them to be the centre of attention wherever they are seen. Their sheer versatility and affordability, meanwhile, makes them an essential item in any discerning woman’s closet.
