Take a cue from founder Zaireen Azman who adds a pop of colour with her Nawar Basic Scarf in Sand Nude to her otherwise monochrome #ootd. Chiffon scarves are also great for creating the layered look without leaving you stuffy and hot!

For chiffon with a little more stretch, try their Fatima Basic scarves that can be worn without pins. Or if semi-instant is more of your vibe, UMMA’s Azra is an easy to wear chiffon scarf that comes with an attached lyra inner.
