I have never met anyone who wears scarves, I cant understand why anyone would. Why do scarves even exist!

@DinkaChica I think I mean a neck scarf, I'm not sure what a head scarf is unless you mean muslim-type head coverings, but I've never called those scarves, I would call that a burka.

@freemo a lot of (I think all of) himalayan women wear head scarves too(and it's not burka)
Neck scarves just look cool I guess, I wear them sometimes ๐Ÿคท

@freemo yeah that too๐Ÿ˜‚
But I meant something like these pictures. Himalayan women(majority) are not muslim, their head scarves is more because of low temperatures prevalent in the area. It's now a part of their traditional wear.

@DinkaChica Ohh they look lovely of course :)

Yea there are many cultures with different sort of head scarves that go by different names, not that I know what those names are. Older russian women wear it a lot too.

@freemo russia is cold too. Even I don't know the names of these scarves, I just know they wear them๐Ÿ˜‚

@DinkaChica Head scarves make sense to me. Especially in regions where you may not be able to buy a jacket due to poverty or just cultural norms or something..

Its mostly neck scarves I dont understand. Not sure what role they fill that a heavy outer covering wouldnt

@freemo so you're wearing a sweater and a jacket. But still a strip of your neck is exposed to the cold ruthless air. How do you cover it?

I'm talking about women apparel here because they have low cut necks mostly for fashion and all. Actually neck scarves are also for fashion mostly, people wear them in summer too

@freemo I don't zip up because how will my beautiful sweater be visible then? :p
