The cold chill is in the air. We are starting to put away our warm weather clothes, and for those of us who experience the 4 seasons, we are pulling out our sweaters, turtlenecks and cold weather gear, right?! One of my favorite fashion accessories is the scarf! I love scarves because they serve more than one purpose! They are not only functional in helping to keep me warm and protected, but they also are a chic and stylish way to add some spice and pizzazz to my entire look! With novelty scarves leading as a trend for Fall & Winter this season, nothing could be more timely than one of the newest designs from long-time category leader FRAAS, The Scarf Company, of a refeshing and very versatile INFINITY style within its collection. It is most definitely worthy of your attention. If you are not familiar with FRAAS, The Scarf Company, let me tell you a little bit about this most prestigious company:

MY REVIEW
FRAAS Fairisle Infinity Scarf
Price: $40
Colors: Navy/Turquoise, Camel/Ivory, Rose/Petal and Black/Grey
More than 100 new FRAAS Brand styles are debuting this season and many with multiple color options, how exciting! There are three on-target and very elegant palettes and themes that are apparent: Woodland Guardians, Mineral Explosion and Decadent Traveler, all three of which I have included images of in this review. The jewel tones and accent pop colors provide savvy consumers with the right styling and best shades to work with existing and new wardrobes.
The style I am reviewing, Style 060542, the Fairisle Infinity, is comprised of acrylic, nylon and a bit of wool. It is soft and extremely lightweight which makes it a great item for transitioning from season to season. It is also ideal for travel and almost any location and climate. It loops easily and requires no tying which is one of the genius things about an infinity scarf. Not only will it dress up and function with outerwear, it will look great with a sweater, dress or blouse, and as an accent or accessory.
"Our goal at FRAAS is to give consumers great choices of unique, exciting products at affordable price points" says Aimee Zucchetti, the company's Brand and Sales Manager. "This new style, which is part of a far larger collection that includes an extremely comprehensive choice of scarves and wraps in many materials, sizes and shapes, allows consumers to renew their wardrobe and accessories like fashionistas without spending a fortune!"
"Whenever a woman wants to add a finishing touch to her outfit and add zest to her entire look, she can reach for one of our FRAAS styles and be 100% confident that it will produce the right effect. It is amazing what a difference a scarf can make," says Ken Krieger, the VP of Sales for the innovative international manufacturer of woven and knit scarves, stoles, wraps, capes and related accessories.
MY THOUGHTS:
The scarf is magnificent, so exquisitely rendered with meticulous fine quality. The scarf is so luxurious and soft that it feels incredibly glorious against your skin. The pattern is contemporary with that hint of vintage fairisle that never goes out of style and remains ageless and timeless. The colors are so feminine and vibrant and will work with a multitude of outfits, bringing that element of euro chic classiness to them.
This style scarf can be worn long or your can easily double it up for a totally different look. It makes for a fantastic holiday gift, birthday gift for someone you know or the perfect addition to your own existing arsenal of accessories. It will become your favorite go to fashion enhancement, as it has surely become mine!
I have not tried to wash this scarf as of yet, but it is durable and the craftsmanship is so high in quality it will be a breeze to handwash in some cold water with a touch of delicate wash soap. Hang it to dry and you will be good to go the next day!
This concludes my review.
