The weather is cold, so out come the big coats, cosy knitwear and yes a favourite for many – the scarf! This season scarves have taken on a whole new role in our wardrobes. Not only are they cosy essentials, this winter they are a trending must have. Time to style up your outfits with fashionable-function! We have 5 new ways to style a scarf and the 3 types of scarves you need to get creative with. Scarves to try: The Silk Scarf: Silk is a magical, natural fibre that will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter due to its breathability. Therefore, this light weight, luxurious fabric makes styling super practical all year round and a viable investment in your wardrobe to enjoy on multiple occasions. The “Snood”: A “snood” is a combination between a scarf and a hood. It has no end as it is joined together to form a loop. This simple design means it can be worn in multiple ways or just simply draped around the neck with minimum fuss or effort The Mini Scarf: Easy to manage and perfect for when a long or chunky scarf is just too much fabric or bulk. This season the mini scarf is “multi tasking” with outfits and not just worn around the neck for warmth as you will see below. 5 new ways to style your scarf 1. Loop it around the strap or handle of your handbag, creating a new look strap! 2. Fasten it around a ponytail 3. Tie it around your handbag 4. Knot it at your neck 5. Drape it around your shoulders and fasten with a brooch The secret to styling a scarf is not to fuss!
