A silk scarf has many names. The words change with the language, the shape of the accessory and the way it is worn. In French, foulard often suggests a light scarf worn at the neck or on the head; écharpe can describe a longer scarf. That distinction is useful when browsing fashion descriptions, although usage varies.
These are useful examples rather than a universal glossary. A large wrap, a small neckerchief and a headscarf may have different names in the same language. Context matters as much as a literal translation.
