Reinventing Your Wardrobe With a Fur Scarf
The scarf is one of the most versatile of fashion accessories, the final addition that can define any look. Often used to tie a color story together, add a dramatic flair or introduce a visual pop, the scarf is an important fashion investment. Whether in wool, silk or fur, tied, wrapped, draped or slung, the scarf offers a myriad of creative options to deliver a definitive fashion statement.

When it comes to dressing for the cold winter months, the scarf is a critical component of any wardrobe. The fur scarf, in particular, provides warmth and coziness while adding visual drama and a luxe look and feel. But fur scarves are not just a cold weather accessory. Knitted fur scarves or scarves of organza or silk with strips of fox or other furs can be worn through spring and fall to equally relay a dressy, elegant message or a cool, hip vibe and these scarves work equally well on women and men, old or young.
