While waiting for our daughter to get through customs at the airport in Charlotte recently, we watched as passengers from the newly landed flight from Paris came walking down the ramp that channelled all international arrivals towards baggage claim. It was a feast for the eyes as several hundred Parisians, displaying their impeccable taste for fashion, passed us with chic suitcases in tow. There were lovers with arms entwined, elderly gentlemen with their silvered hair topped with a beret, classic middle-aged women with fur-trimmed collars, young women with knee-high boots and long flowing hair, business men in black overcoats and carrying briefcases, and college students in pea coats with backpacks. And every last one wearing a magnficent scarf.
The scarves ranged in size, color, and texture, with the majority of them being the bulky knitted variety that, to create them, would have kept your grandmother's needles clicking for a year. These large scarves serve their purpose during the winter when Parisians, who walk everywhere, brave the snow and frigid temperatures. But besides the warmth factor, these scarves seem to be the ultimate fashion statement.
So if you're looking for an accessory to jazz up your wardrobe, purchase a scarf and add a colorful taste of French fashion to your life.
