Photo Of The Day: Scarf Shopping Is A Very Important Business — Really!

Don’t laugh, any of you men who are reading this. Scarf shopping can be a very important business!

Just ask any French woman (and rather a lot of the men there as well!) how important it is to accessorize your outfit with just the right scarf. There is the fabric to consider — the weight, the drape, the feel against your skin, the colour — so many important variables.

But there are other reasons for scarves — and they include being an item of head-wear in a country where custom or culture dictates that women should have their heads covered. This picture was taken in Kuala Lumpur and there was a dazzling array of scarves on offer in this shop. The woman traveller, with her rolling suitcase in tow, was taking her time and making her selection with care.
