Cotton Long scarf in tie dye print serve multiple purposes.
It is an important part of the sundresses during summer
season in India. It is light in weight and soaks sweat
well. Colorful print on these scarves also makes them
look very elegant. In summer, women in India generally
wear light shade dresses. Block or tie and dye print
scarves add a bit of color to otherwise very light
dresses. Besides, these cotton scarves can alternate
very well as sarongs for beach wear.
Indian cotton scarf is often long and narrow, usually
worn on or near the head, for warmth, fashion,
cleanliness, or religious purposes. In dry, dusty
climates, or in environments where there is a lot of
airborne contaminants, a thin scarf is often worn over
the head to keep the hair clean. Over time, this custom
has evolved into a fashionable item in many cultures,
particularly among women. Scarves in India have a
significant place and traditional value. They are
significant because they are considered a protector of
women's integrity. Women's outfit in India is considered
incomplete without a long scarf. The fabric of a scarf
can be cotton, chiffon, georgette, silk, net or
sometimes mixed too. These are integral parts of the
salwar kurta, lehenga, and churidar. With cultural
exposure from Europe, these scarves found their way to
the western wardrobes too.
