It's a small scarf summer!

By Kaylin O'Meara

About

Mayil means ‘peacock’ in Tamil (a language spoken in southern India) and our scarves are inspired by the captivating feathers of a peacock. We offer endless bright colors and patterns, ensuring that there is a scarf for everyone’s taste!

When you think of the word “scarf,” you probably think of a thick, wool material that you use to bundle up in cold weather. But, our delicate chiffon fabric is handpicked in India and makes wearing scarves year round a new normal! The airy fabric allows for light layering and accessories that aren't bulky.

This blog delves into six ways that you can wear our signature small 960 scarf in the summer. Our 960 scarves are made from sarees and running fabrics and are typically around nine inches wide and 60 inches long, hence the name MAYIL 960. All six styles shown in this blog use the small scarf size, but can also be used by other sizes. These styles take just a couple of minutes (if that) to tie, making them the easiest addition to any outfit!
 


Style 1 ~ Headband

The first style is a hairstyle - an upgraded take on the classic headband. The small scarf is the perfect size to tie and wear as a headband, making it the perfect summer style. Plus, because Mayil’s scarves are made up of bright colors and patterns, this headband isn't like any other!

 

 

Style 2 ~ Bandana Head scarf

If you're looking for something a little more noticeable than the classic headband, then you can opt for the bandana look. In this style, you don't fold the scarf into a thin, long band, but instead you place the scarf along the top of your head without folding it at all. This way, the scarf is more of a statement piece as a part of your outfit! It is the perfect look for a walk through nature or a summer festival.

Style 3 ~  Hair Ribbon

Sometimes the only option to cool down in the summer heat is to put your hair up into a ponytail – and why not spice up your boring, old hair tie with a colorful scarf! You can add any scarf to match your outfit or even add a fun pop of color. Unfortunately this style is only for people with long hair, but luckily for those with short hair, we have many other ideas for styling your small scarf instead!

 

 

 

Style 4 ~  Belt 

This style is versatile all on its own! There's a handful of ways that you can tie your small scarf to get different belt looks – whether it be a bow in the front of your torso as a statement piece or tied in the back for a seamless effect. Plus, you can wear this style on any pair of bottoms with or without belt loops! In my opinion, this is the perfect way to tie a cohesive outfit together while also adding the pop of fun Mayil colors.

Style 5 ~ Belt Loop Accent 

This style is a modified version of the scarf belt! It has all the same flash and fun, but has an upgraded level of uniqueness. This style does require you to have a pair of pants or shorts with belt loops, so that you can tie it around two of the loops. It is a great addition for when you want to add an accessory to enhance your outfit.

Style 6 ~  Purse Accent 

This style can be used on any bag, purse or tote. Running errands can be boring, but adding a pop of color with a scarf can make it fun! This can also be a great accessory to jazz up any old bag you may have lying around. A scarf tied on your purse is unique and totally customizable and it is the perfect accessory to elevate any outfit.

In this blog, we explored six ways to tie our signature 960 scarf. We call our younger customers who wear Mayil scarves "Young Mayils" and our small summer scarves are perfect for these young Mayils! You can send one as a gift using our Scarfgram to your daughter, niece, or any special young person in your life.

A Scarfgram is a telegram, a personalized card and a thoughtful gift all in one! Both the note and the scarf are keepsakes that serve as reminders of a particular person or moment. The creation of the Scarfgram began with the desire to bring back the practice of exchanging handwritten and heartfelt messages with loved ones.

Each Mayil 960 scarf comes with a postcard and you can write a personalized message to the recipient. Both the note and the scarf are keepsakes that serve as tangible reminders of a particular person or a moment shared with them.

We designed the scarfgram for you to write the note in your own handwriting and mail it with the scarf. If for some reason you would like us to write the note and send it to your recipient, let us know the message in an email after you place the order.
