Long Pom Pom Cowl | Purl Soho

This summer on the streets of Soho I noticed that last winter’s big cowl trend wasn’t going away, even in the hottest weather. Instead of  the bulky knits of winter, these summer versions were sewn in lightweight silk, cotton, and linen fabrics and were worn like flowing necklaces over tank tops and sun dresses. I am someone who hates to be hot, so even though I admired these pretty summer scarves, I couldn’t imagine putting something extra around my neck in the sticky heat. But since the weather has started to cool down, I’ve been yearning for an oversized sewn cowl of my own!
