chiffon scarf

Lightweight gauzy wrap

A chiffon scarf is a lightweight, sheer scarf made from chiffon—a delicate fabric with a slightly rough texture and elegant drape.

Worn as a fashion accessory around the neck, head, or shoulders, chiffon scarves add a flowing, feminine element to an outfit: She tied a chiffon scarf loosely at her throat.
