Maxi scarves are handy multi-use scarves:
Make various wraps, shawls or sexy sarongs with them, over the bathing suit or party dress... Many of them are big enough to wear by themselves as a sun dress or sun top... You can quickly and easily transform any simple outfit, T-shirt or tank top to a dressier one. You can also use them as traditional scarves, especially in cooler climates, just loop or drape around your neck anyway you want.
