Dirty, oil covered men sitting around the mechanic's shop after work may think about pulling out their "multi tools" and multi-bladed knives. Why? to compare all the of the useful features and functions of each one. One type turns into a pair of pliers and one has a blade that can strip wire and another has a serrated blade. You get the point.

Women don't have, and often don't need a multi tool. But they do have a multipurpose accessory that has several functions, allowing them to always look their best in every occasion. I'm talking about a silk scarf. If your closet doesn't contain 3 or 4 silk scarves, then you should drop whatever you're doing and rush out to buy some right now! These perfect women’s accessories and gifts can take your current wardrobe and add an entirely new, multi-functional dimension to it.

Which ones should you get? Every woman should have some of the following silk scarves in their closet (and purse and glove compartment and desk drawer).

The solid color scarf. You should actually own 3 or 4 of these scarves in bold but subdued colors like blue, green, and orange. Yellow and red can look good, too, as long as they are not too bright. The purpose of this scarf is to coordinate (not match identically) with what you're wearing and to frame your face. If the rest of your clothes are blue and you have a sassy and fashionable pumpkin orange beauty tied jauntily around your neck, it will frame your face and bring attention to your best feature...you! Be sure that at least one of them matches exactly the color of your eyes! Which colors to own? Don't get anything that matches your clothes but rather get ones that coordinate. These scarves can look great with a professional or casual outfit. And on that hot date, be sure to wear the one that matches your eye color.

The patterned scarf. You may only need one or two of these, depending on what's in your closet. If a lot of your professional clothes are patterned, don't own or wear too many. It can appear too busy. If your clothes are solid colors (or even a very thin pinstripe) you can opt to wear a patterned scarf. One fantastic looking match is if you are wearing a dark green shirt, a light green jacket, then add a dark green silk scarf that matches your shirt but has a pattern containing another color (red, blue, or yellow could look great).

The black and white. Technically these are considered solid colors, too, although your art teacher might disagree. These two are essentials to have for very formal or serious situations. The black scarf is very appropriate at funerals, for example. Redheads may also find a black one worn folded into a strip to hold back your hair can look stunning. The white scarf can look great with a white dress at a formal or semi-formal setting, like a wedding or holiday party.
