 From pastel to bold: many colors (as featured here with our polka dot collection)

Pick a color she loves and which will perfectly complement her wardrobe staples.You can either go for a tone on tone scarf color or a contrasting scarf color. Among the many contrasting color combinations which exist, we suggest you pair green and blue, green and yellow, blue and pink, blue and yellow, brown and turquoise or teal, brown and pink, yellow and black, black and white, black and beige, red and white, 

2) WHAT FITS HER SKIN TONE, HER HAIR COLOR, AND HER EYE COLOR BEST? 

Rather than following rigid rules based on hair or complexion, think about the colors your mother already enjoys wearing. A scarf can harmonize with her usual palette or introduce a contrasting accent.

5)  IS COLD WEATHER (OR AIR CONDITIONING) AN ISSUE FOR YOUR MOM? 

If she appreciates an extra layer, a silk twill scarf or cashmere-silk pashmina can add comfortable coverage around the neck or shoulders. For a lighter option, consider a chiffon silk scarf.

6) IS YOUR MOTHER INTERESTED IN THE LATEST FASHION TRENDS?

Looking back at spring-summer 2014, lavender blue, orange, black and white, and combinations of bold colors were prominent fashion choices.
