Tip 90: Scarf of All Trades

Move over, cotton bandanna. "I always wear a large, square, 100 percent silk
scarf to travel," writes tipster Carol Ann Flanagan of McLean. "It's good for multiple uses: as a stole on the plane when the air conditioner cranks up (amazingly warm); emergency rainhat when leaving the airport; stylish belt or sash; extra blouse under a jacket (fold into a triangle, long ends tie around waist, short ends around neck, halter-style); flag cabs or members of your party in crowds."
Hmmm. We're not quite sure about that last one, but otherwise, Flanagan is clearly on to something: Compared with cotton, silk is lightweight, dries
fast and doesn't wrinkle. And just try making a blouse out of a bandanna. For sharing her tip, Flanagan wins a Washington Post Travel section T-shirt in return for sharing her tip. Got your own tip to share? Flag down the fine
