What was a scarf used for in the 1940s?

To keep off the spring air chill, a small silk scarf could be tied around the head like a kerchief. These were worn in all seasons in light materials and paisley prints. During the 1940s, scarves soared in popularity due to their endless versatility.

Is a scarf a political statement?

Votes for Women: the scarf as a political statement. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London. A scarf can be a political statement, and can denote a wearer’s affiliation or beliefs. Early 20th-century crusaders for women’s rights used their clothing to promote their cause, wearing scarves in the movement’s colors: white, green and purple.

Are scarves still a trend in the 1980s?

Rich leopard prints and jewel tones were found in winter. Despite the 1980s being the era of layering and over the top accessorizing they rarely include the scarf. Due to their versatility, scarves will never completely drop out of favor. Scarves are still an easy way to update an outfit, or, as we have seen, to create a vintage inspired style.
