You can't get around it when you are Italy - there are scarves everywhere. In the shops, the markets and around every neck. Surprisingly, you will find Italians wearing them well into the spring and starting up again in the early fall. It comes from a long standing tradition of the Italian fear of getting "Hit by Air" - check out this great article to read more about it: How to avoid getting 'hit by air' in Italy This is a significant departure for us Americans (especially New Englanders) who will bust out the flip flops and shorts at the sign of a 50 degree day.
The beauty of this is that the scarf is an ultra hip fashion accessory. There are so many ways to tie them and they can completely finish a look. They are ideal for packing when taking a trip since they take up little space and can jazz up your basic black travel uniform. And yes, gentlemen do wear scarves. Find one and wear it guys. Women will swoon and your kids will think you are really cool. Just ask my husband!
Ciao for now!
