NECK AND NECK

Inspired by the gorgeous scarves at Dolce & Gabbana, Paul Smith, Caroline Herrera et al., we’re getting all tied up in our favourite foulards.

Five ways to wear a scarf:

Cravat it: For a touch of elegance, add a loose, feminine necktie and a string of baubles to your work suit.

A la Grace Kelly: Cover up a bad bouffant with a chic, printed headscarf.

What a waist: Thread a scarf through your belt loops or fold one into an envelope and wrap it around your waist like an obi-sash.

In the bag: Tired of the same old brown suede tote? Weave a scarf through the handles for a pop of fresh colour.

'80s revival: Galliano pulls it off with aplomb, but get the bandana wrong and you’ll look like a wannabe rapper.
