 Muffler is
a kerchief or a scarf which seems to be uncomplicated for use though it
sometimes confuses in purpose. The word coming from the French «cache-nez» means
«hide your nose» which is completely unreasonable for this garment today. On the
contrary, this piece of clothes proves to be the decorative element in the
wardrobe in every possible way. However, this does make neither men nor women
upset for not a jot, since there are far more considerable garments in volume
and material to use if necessary. A muffler is a perfect complement to the elegant
apparel with the hint of being aristocratic which is too essential for the
business image.
Nevertheless,
the things are not so simple with mufflers today. A muffler is believed to
refer to any sex, though it is predominantly exploited by men. Also a muffler
is a business-like piece of clothes and thus it suits the strict dress-code to
keep the designed businesslike efficiency. Though currently mufflers are
manufactured in various flamboyant colors to doubtfully refer to the category
of laconic and ordinary accessories.
Revolution in fashion
A muffler takes
fashionists to troubled France
of the XVIII century with the way it looks and origins. The revolutionary-minded
young people are believed to use this decorative element first. It used to be
manufactured from the delicate fancy fabric, often from the silk of juicy
color.
The confrontation
to the disarming and all-absorbing French fashion could not last too long. So, to
the middle of the XIX century this garment made from the woolen fabric in fine
check appears as the accessory adopted in Europe.
This brings to the further transformations and gradually the muffler becomes as
it is now.
From tie to
scarf
A muffler
takes the position of something intermediate in the wardrobe. Some men consider
this accessory as the decorative element, as a tie without any considerable
function. The others are more close to the muffler and they actually acquire
this accessory to really hide the nose. And yet, this is the charm of this
detail when the past is gracefully matched the image of the modern fashionist. And
the way it is preferred does not matter, on the whole. The assortment of
mufflers is what means.
A muffler
is the kerchief twice folded as the wide band of fabric thrown over the
shoulder. It is also used as the scarf to wrap over the neck for warmth. Though,
in most cases mufflers serve as the complement to the strict and businesslike
attire. It works to sluggishly look out of the coat collar matching the other
details.
A muffler
is made from the natural silk, satin, all-wool fabric or the mixture of silk
and wool. And it goes without saying
that all these should be considered while purchasing it. There models of mufflers
come as similar or different front and reverse parts. The muffler of reverse
way is far more comfortable since there is chance to pick up a muffler to
change the «face». The front made from wool and the sleek inside is not the
rare variant for such mufflers.
The range
of colors varies for the admirers of laconic and elegant style, though they are
all in particular borders. A muffler for the businessman accepts the shades from
pastel to rich though too loud intensity in the color is not typical to it. The
finer prints as check or a diamond are more preferred for more strict models;
though the popular is the «Turkish paisley» that adds the charming folklore note
to the image. The scarf of the businessman is certainly marked with the edge or
with the pattern. Woolen models are often decorated with tassels which makes it
closer to the traditional image.
There are men
who absolutely do not accept mufflers in any other interpretation than classic
though the latter can be rejected by more radical fashionists. Those men who tend
to appear unique, mufflers are custom-made of any color and patterns. The
patterns with the Oriental motifs are extremely popular like hieroglyphs,
animals and any other symbols. Such mufflers are so unique that are appropriate
for informal events.
Elegance in
new shape
Recently the
mufflers tend to more liberal image without breaking its preliminary function
of the decorative accessory. Mufflers get more intensive in color and patterns.
Finer prints used before tend to become large checks or stripes which are
placed all over the mufflers leaving the wide edge blank.
Iceberg brand
included mufflers into the Spring-Summer and Autumn-Winter 2010 collections.
The mufflers for warmer seasons come in fine black-and-white check to typical
for traditional men’s models, though the autumn models are presented in silk as
the part of smart casual style.
This accessory
is regularly favored by reputed designers and it is the permanent guest at
Italian fashion house collections. Yet, such fashion designers as Versace,
Salvatore Ferragamo, Forzieri and Gucci launch mufflers for every possible
occasion.
