Scarves and wraps are two similar but different accessories. Wraps are generally smaller, square or rectangular, and are worn to add a touch of style to an outfit. They can be made of silk, cotton or other lightweight fabrics. Scarves, on the other hand, are larger, longer and wider, designed to offer warmth and protection from the cold. They are often made from wool, cashmere or other warm materials. In short, scarves are fashion accessories, while wraps are functional as well as elegant.
