If an accessory is like the icing on a log cake (you know, to decorate and enhance), a scarf is akin to the pieces of candied fruit in a fruit cake, where they serve a bit more of a functional purpose aside from mere aesthetics. Depending on the type, it has the ability to elevate while giving much needed comfort—we're talking about scarves, of course.
Comfort is key, especially this time of the year. And even if it may not necessarily apply to those of us not heading to cooler climes, there are always lightweight silk scarves as options to spruce up an outfit in a manner that's uniquely you. The way we see it, a scarf is a necessary tool to have in one's style arsenal. A quality piece is an investment you'd be able to whip out time and time again—a Loro Piana trait that's consistent throughout all of its creations.
The Loro Piana Grande Unita scarf is a fine example of how the brand's unparalleled elegant aesthetic is rooted in its use of luxurious materials. The scarf is made from the finest cashmere that gives it an exceptionally soft hand feel and a lightweight body, without skimping on its heat-retaining capabilities. The hand-finished details add touches of artisanal craftsmanship to an already sophisticated piece rendered in refined, solid colours. It's understated, yes. But that's exactly what you want in a versatile accessory that can easily be worn for just about every occasion.
For something a tad more versatile, the Two Tone scarf offers additional styling options with two different contrasting colours on opposite sides. The scarf is sublime; crafted from baby cashmere obtained only from the underfleece of Hircus goat kids, the scarf is incredibly buttery soft to the touch. It's so soft that no one will judge should you choose to simply lounge around at home wrapped up in the cosiness of one. Twist or fold the Two Tone scarf while wearing it to show off a hint of its contrasting colour for an added visual interest to every outfit.
No matter how you choose to enjoy a Loro Piana scarf—a gift to a loved one or to yourself—rest assured that it'll be one that'll be used and cherished for years.
