How to Choose the Color of Your Silk Scarf or Shawl

Hand painted silk scarves and hand dyed shawls are some of the most stunning and versatile accessories to find a place in any woman's closet.  Perfect for bringing that touch of class and elegance to daywear or evening wear, these magnificent pieces are created with all the loving care and attention of talented artists who use a whole palette of colors in their designs.  With so many gorgeous ones to choose from though, what is the best way to go about selecting the right color so that your woman's scarf or shawl gets maximum use?

 

Do an Inventory of Your Closet

 

One of the quickest and easiest ways to decide on the predominant color for your handmade scarf or shawl is simply to do an inventory of what is already in your closet.  If you open the doors and are faced with a sea of black or white, then finding the perfect accessory to match your existing outfits could not be simpler, because of course almost any color (with the exception of brown and navy blue with black) will either match or contrast superbly with either of these.  Strong colors such as reds and oranges make a superb statement against black, while pastels work very well to create a softer look against white, especially for those special summer outfits.

 

Even if your wardrobe is dominated by any other color though, the range of dyes which is used in the production of handmade scarves and shawls is so wide that finding a matching or contrasting shade is very straightforward.  Unlike the mass-produced alternatives which typically come in a very limited choice of colors, the handmade examples incorporate more unusual hues which makes color-matching much easier.

 

Consider Your Accessories

 

As well as considering the colors of the outfits in your closet, another thing to do is to check out your collection of accessories.  Matching the dominant or background color of your silk scarf or shawl with bags, shoes and belts makes for a really classy, coordinated look in which everything holds together well.

 

Check Out Your Jewelry

 

Perhaps you have some favorite pieces of jewelry which you like to wear often, in which case you could match the accent color of your scarf or shawl to this.  Depending on how you choose to wear your accessory, longer necklaces may, of course, be partially hidden, but matching it to shorter necklaces, ear-rings and bracelets gives a very flattering look.

 

Take Account of Your Hair Color

 

When you look in your closet, you will probably find that most of your outfits have been chosen, although maybe not consciously, with your hair color in mind.  Pale pink, baby blue and turquoise all look stunning on women with blonde hair, while mauve and purple work particularly well on red-heads.  The stronger, bolder colors, meanwhile, tend to look better on those with dark brown or black hair.

 

With so many beautiful shades to choose from, finding a gorgeous hand painted scarf or handmade shawl to suit your own style, taste and coloring really could not be easier.
