The news of winter has officially arrived; the clocks have begrudgingly turned back, signalling the last few glimpses of daylight which remain. The warm air has fallen short with the blue skies soon to disperse and instead sombre hues will be painted in replace. For some, this may mark the start of hibernation, but for the majority, winter is just another season that passes by.
What better way to deal with the cold, bleak days ahead than with a cosy scarf – a simple solution for your necks woes. Work an oversized rendition of the staple accessory; proven in finely spun wool for the ultimate comfort factor.
Take your pick when it comes to applying colour; keep it paired back with cool undertones and neutral hues for interchangeable styling. Even yet add a bolt of colour a la Zara for the perfect pick-me-up. With a host of patterns to choose from; stick to a traditional path by favouring heritage tartans as a default.
Master the art of layering; a simple device ready for the perils of winter. After all fashion should be kept uncomplicated, as the best things in life are always the simplest.
