Scarves- the very thing that are supposed to wrap us in warmth and comfort all winter long- can also be the same accessories that help us make it through the blazing hot summers. It’s currently 98 degrees outside and sticky humid but I have a scarf in my bag.

.

Still wondering if I’ve gone off the deep end? No, I’m not one of those people who is cold all the time- quite the opposite- I’m usually the one begging my coworkers to turn the air down “just for a little bit.” And yet, I carry scarves with me in the summer. Here is are my top 3 reasons why:

.

A scarf can give you just the tiniest bit more dressiness or coverage in a restaurant that you didn’t expect to be a nice as it is.

.

Movie theaters tends to overcompensate for the warm temps outside. And I don’t know about you, but I can’t pay attention to a 90 minute rom-com or action flick if my teeth are distracting me with their chattering.

.

Vacations are stressful enough and when you realize you have forgotten something critical, such as your pool coverup- you might head into a tailspin. Not to worry- do you have a large pareo or soft pashmina in your bag (surely you do). Then you also have a pool coverup to wear to the tropical bar and walk around the resort.

There are obviously other reasons to carry a scarf with you at ALL times. What is your favorite? Leave us a comment below and let us know!

Made in Spain, this all-around soother is perfume-free and suitable for even the most sensitive skin. Try on chapped lips and noses, dry elbows and heals, and of course, it’s super moisturizing for your sunburned nose after swimming all day. It’s even SPF 4- a little extra protection from the big, bad sun. And how can you beat the price of just $8?
