Scarf can change your look in a flash. They're interesting and fun to wear, but they take practice to make them stay perfectly in place.

You can easily achieve the effect of a wrinkled knotted string or look as though you're wearing a bandage around your neck if you're not sure how to wear scarves.

Tips

• Anchor scarves secretly with tiny safety to stop it from slipping.

• Loop a scarf more than once to keep it steady.

• The triangle in the back of the scarf can be tucked inside the collar.

• You can wear a larger square scarf loose in a middy effect by tying the square knot lower down on your chest.

• A wool scarf hanging loosely over a raincoat may be very effective.

• It's too uptight-looking to tuck your scarves neatly into your coats like an ascot.

• Chiffon is good when used to trail down the back of a luxuriant evening gown, but as scarves. They looked tacky,  they worn worn over curlers.
