No, it’s not the air conditioning!

Art is often in the eye of the beholder.

Whether it is a fine painting, a moving symphony or a piece of prose, the interpretation of the masterpiece if often at the discretion of the viewer / listener, the emotional response that they have to a particular movement. The same can be said for fashion, as it is wearable art.

But sometimes, you just have to say: “No, you got it wrong!”

It was with a chuckle that we listened to a recent mixed media piece presented by the prestigious NY Times, about the street trend of summer scarves. And while, indeed, the trend was well documented with many wonderful pictures of NY’s finest, the end reasoning for the summer scarf trend was the air conditioning in the New York City office buildings.

Um, not really….. the scarves just look good! Our own Loehmann’s buyer, Ava, called the neck wrap  out as one of this season hottest trends over a month ago.

No matter what your interpretation of this trend, and yes, it shall continue on into fall, Loehmann’s has a huge stock of these gossamer beauties on the selling floors right now. At prices as low as 14.99-24.99 (compared at $30-$60 elsewhere), you could actually stock up.

And if you felt a chill from a frigid A/C vent, a beautiful colorful scarf could come in handy.
