Scarves, scarves, scarves!

To celebrate the opening of our Etsy store (which we're still learning about, bear with us!) and highlight all the fabulous scarves that Lynn has made for the store (and a few fabulous finds from New York, as well, of course!) I'd like to share this video and show you how easy it is to make a scarf a versatile and fantastic accessory, whether you're braving the cold in a beautiful coat, or dressing up a sundress on those balmy summer nights.


This tutorial was posted one youtube user wendylookbook's channel, and highlights 25 ways to wear a scarf in 4 1/2 minutes. There are definitely a few in there that I didn't know about!

Try them all, and send us photos! We'd love to see you wearing your favourites from SWISH in new and gorgeous new ways!

The key to wearing a scarf all year round is weight. You're not going to wear a heavy wool/cashmere scarf in the heat of summer, when it will, not only clash horribly with your outfit, but cause you to sweat it off. Just the same, you wouldn't wear a gauzy chiffon or silk scarf in the dead of winter, because it would probably turn you into an icecube! Look for the right scarf to fit the season. Here are a few from SWISH to get you started!


The lace of this scarf lets your skin breathe, and the fringe makes it look polished! This would be a great spring and summer scarf, but worn with a turtleneck or a sweater, it would still be beautiful for fall and winter! 


There's nothing as cozy as a warm and fuzzy scarf! This one is perfect to balance a solid coat, and it will keep your neck toasty! A fantastic winter scarf, indeed!
