warmth and fashion | deciphering the charm of autumn and winter wear of Korean plaid jacquard square scarf

At the entrance of the city subway at 7 o'clock in the morning, the cold wind blew the fallen leaves, and several women dressed in different clothes appeared in front of the camera. Among them are professional white-collar workers rushing on their way with briefcases, art students preparing for class with sketchbooks, and mothers holding their children to send them to kindergarten. Despite different identities and ages, a Korean-style plaid jacquard square towel worn together makes a wonderful connection between each other in the picture. Some people wrap it around their necks at will to highlight their capable temperament, others carefully fold it over their shoulders to add girlish flavor, and some elders gently cover it on their knees as intimate companions for rest.

behind this seemingly ordinary fabric, what condenses is the essence of weaving skills inherited from South Korea local handicrafts for hundreds of years. Walking into a professional factory workshop on the outskirts of Seoul, the air is filled with the unique gentle texture of wool fiber. Workers are carefully screening out high-quality cashmere raw materials with fineness less than 18 microns. After high-temperature washing to remove impurities, they enter the environmental protection dyeing vat for six hours of low-temperature fixing treatment. After that, experienced technicians controlled the three-dimensional knitting machine to slowly interweave the warp and weft lines, and more than 40 yarns per square centimeter were closely arranged to form a delicate texture. It was this double strict requirement on material and technology that created the classic contour that is now highly sought after.

Stepping into the department store's clothing section, a senior showman is demonstrating how to use accessories to change the overall visual perception. I saw her pick up a calm gray blues cut and neat coat model to try on, and casually pulled out the already prepared dark brown checkered square scarf around the neck for two and a half times, then immediately awakened the whole set of look vitality index. With the help of adjacent color contrast, it not only retains the dignified atmosphere of formal occasions, but also does not appear too stiff and stiff. If it is replaced by a warm orange sweater, it will instantly switch to a cheerful and lively festive atmosphere. These rare color blending schemes were dismantled by professionals on the spot and immediately made people eager to try.

the aroma of kwantung cooking wafted in the convenience store after nightfall, and the exquisite gift boxes printed with snowflake patterns were neatly stacked beside the cash register, which was particularly eye-catching. The first girl who came to pick up the goods took the package and smiled and said it was a birthday surprise for her roommate in a distant university. "She said that the scarf was too thin last winter and she almost caught a cold and was hospitalized. This year, she specially chose this thick fabric and packed it with ribbons and bows. It was like receiving a gentle love letter." The second is the son who helped his elderly father choose gifts. He said that the old man didn't pay much attention to dressing up at ordinary times, but such a simple and generous style made him shine at the moment. "The most important thing is that it is very convenient to have a matching box that can be directly put into the suitcase and taken away." The last one is a housewife who hoarded New Year gift cards for herself to exchange rewards. Words all reveal her good expectations for her family's time together in the long winter nights in the coming months.
