Scarves are a brilliant way to add colour, texture and some ooomph to an outfit. You can wear them on your head, as a belt, dangle them casually from your handbag – and, of course, drape them around your shoulders. They give you style, warmth and hide up a less than perfectly smooth neck. This is why we love these versatile swathes of cotton, silk and cashmere.

This video features a range of stunning silk scarves and an innovative piece of neckwear design:
