Spring has a new fashion staple — the headscarf

Spotted first on the catwalks at Armani, Vivienne Westwood and Salvatore Ferragamo, it’s a key accessory of the season and is destined to be the most wearable thing in your wardrobe.

For a start, you can style it myriad ways: scarves were worn over the head and knotted at the nape of the neck at D&G, wrapped round the head and neck desert-style at Armani, tied under the chin on the runways of Missoni, as a turban at Jason Wu and, for the scarf-shy, knotted neckerchief-style at DKNY.

On top of this, they add an instant colour fix to a neutral closet.

Headscarves aren’t just for women with a supermodel body and you don’t need a six-figure bank balance either — the High Street is overflowing with options, or try eBay for vintage silk scarves.
This trend will carry on through summer — they have already been embraced by Alexa Chung, Mary-Kate Olsen and Katie Holmes. So what are you waiting for?
