Tie it in your hair

Take your cue from Lucy of Fashion Me Now and tie your scarf in a bun or pony. To make it more stylish than school girl, keep it slightly messy not polished. Great for those days when you choose twenty minutes in bed over washing your hair, or on holiday when you want to protect bleached ends from the sun.

Wrap it round your hair like an alice band

An easy way to sweep your hair off your face and keep cool in the heat, this is holiday hair at its finest. Make like Camille Charrière and match your silk scarf to your cami top (lemon tree optional).

Make it into a neckerchief

Jazz up an otherwise ordinary outfit with the addition of silk scarf fashioned as a neckerchief. We love how a patterned scarf can instantly up the fashion ante of a simple jeans and tee combo.

Style it as a choker

Give the choker a fresh and elegant update by tying a silk scarf around your neck. This works particularly well with structured shirts or off-the-shoulder dresses.

Attach it to your bag

To breathe some new life into an old bag, tie a silk scarf round one of the handles. For fans of all-black-everything, this is a simple and fear-free way to add some colour to your outfit.
