While hats can be sometimes hard to pull off and gloves (at least in our worlds) are perennially single the scarf is the chicest and swiftest way to staying warm this winter. On a mild winter day a jumper and a scarf can look so much cooler than a coat and with careful investment you can end up with a capsule wardrobe of scarves that work with everything,

1.BELTED
As previously suggested with urge to ditch your coat and belt your shawl scarf instead. Layer it over a subtly contrasting sweater for a polished yet thrown together look.

2. TONE ON TONE

A quick and easy way to chic? Dress tonally. And winter is the easiest time to start when layering is evidently required. Layer the same tone on tone or dare to clash a little.

3. CLASH CHECK AND ARGYLE 

Check, tartan and argyle is filling the stores and we like it layered and clashed. To keep the look polished opt for similar colours but clash the prints and textures.

4.OVER THE ARM 

Not the most practical way to wear a scarf we admit but the chicest for sure. Bag free, nonchalantly drape a scarf over one arm and saunter about.
