Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- Many Korean women have chosen headgears to wear in winter instead of boa or headscarf.

Headgears are made with woolen yarn, leather or overcoat fabric of various colors.

Pae Ryon Hwa, a 42-year-old woman living in Pothonggang District, Pyongyang, told KCNA:

"I like to wear a headgear. It is better than boa. I look stylish with this headgear. I think it is also good for health. I had used to wear a boa in winter. But it made me sweat and feel choky. So I had caught cold easily. Since I began wearing a headgear, I have felt better."

Winter headgear is also economically better than boa or headscarf because woolen yarn for one boa is enough for three headgears.
