Scarf It Up: Invest In This Must-Have Accessory For The Season From Indie Brands

Handmade, tie-dye prints, flirty and lightweight - Hue Coast scarves are the perfect outfit companion for the beach, park, or a music festival. We love sporting their colourful scarves in the gloomy winters too, just to add some cheer and an element of interest to our outfits. The pom pom detailing adds to the charm of the scarves. Use it to style a basic solid-coloured kurta or top and the sun will shine on you no matter where you go and which season! While at it, check out their colourful range of cushions too.

Whatever the season or occasion, Rhe-Ana has a scarf, stole, dupatta or wrap for it. Their dainty linen stoles in solid colours are insanely lightweight, letting the air flow through easily, so your neck doesn’t get all stuffy. Pick the floral printed glitter stole and belt it around your waist or loop it up in your favourite denims for a little extra oomph to your outfit. 

Handblock prints in earthy hues, Elsa The Little Things has beautiful dupattas with the perfect length. If you have been looking to style your basic white kurta, these dupattas will work wonders. Accessorise your look further with stunning juttis (from the same brand) and oxidised silver jhumkis. Winter ready and how!

I can’t get enough of these ombre effect stoles and HOS Designs have a bunch of them you can choose from. Use it to accessorise a tunic and trousers combo. Just wrap the stole around your neck and you’re all set to rock your formal look! The contrasting and bright shades of their stoles can make the most basic outfit look appealing. Throw on a jacket for a more casual vibe.

Mesmora’s khadi embroidered stoles dupattas and printed triangle scarfs are that #somethingdifferent you have been waiting for in accessories. They will leave you 'mesmerized' with just how stunning they look! And because they are quite thick and long they act more like an extra layer of clothing than just an accessory, so perfect to layer on during the winters. Since these scarves and stoles have so much in terms of design and colour, best to wear it on a simple look, so they can be the statement. 

Tired of using that same old handbag? While it may seem like I am digressing here, I am not. You can revamp the look of your old tote by tying a beautiful and vibrant stole to its straps. Travibe has just the variety. Animal, floral, checkered, paneled, two-toned - their beautifully printed scarves can be accessorised any way you want. Use it as a hair accessory! Make a high messy bun or ponytail and tie the stole around it for a vintage glam look. We told you scarves are more than a winter accessory. That said, you can definitely use these to keep your necks warm when it gets cold.

Beaded scarves, FTW! A scarf that also works as a piece of jewellery, why not? Purple Sunshine's exotic range of beaded scarves will add oodles of pizzazz to your outfit. What's really interesting is that these scarves come with a magnet that holds it together so you don't have to adjust it constantly. Plus they’re the only ones in the market to make magnetic scarves, so full marks on being one of a kind.
