For the manufacture of scarves, various fabrics are used, the most common are:

• Fleece. Usually winter accessories for athletes are sewn from such fabric. Fleece fabric is soft and warm material, extremely comfortable for sports. Insulated products from it are actively used in children's fashion.

• Knitwear is a fabric made from a variety of fibers.Collar scarves are often sewn from machine-knitted knitwear, the raw material for which is natural or artificial fibers: cotton, viscose. Such accessories are less voluminous and warm, suitable as a decoration for everyday clothes, for sports, as well as for wearing in autumn and spring.

The most common type of shirt-fronts are made of yarn. For such products, both natural and synthetic fibers can be used. Most often, the yarn consists of varieties of wool, a mixture of natural and artificial fibers or acrylic.

• A wool scarf is a warm winter accessory. Wool has many advantages, but in its pure form, many of its types cause irritation on the skin and discomfort when worn. That is why natural wool collars are less common among children's accessories.

• A scarf made from a mixture of natural and man-made fibers is the best choice for winter. The wool in the composition will warm the wearer, and the added artificial fibers will soften the product. Accessories with this composition do not cause irritation, are much softer and more pleasant to the body. Thanks to the added fibers, the product is easier to care for.

• Acrylic is a modern synthetic material used as an analogue of wool. The disadvantage of acrylic is poor breathability. Of the advantages, one can note the low price and ease of care for the product.

• For red-haired beauties, bright and warm colors will help to emphasize their bright appearance: terracotta, red, emerald, dark blue;

• For fair-haired girls with an olive skin tone, soft pastel shades are most suitable: peach, blue, powdery, mint color.
