Scarves are accessories which are being used more and more as each season passes and you always get your money’s worth out of them very quickly. They are cheap, useful and versatile.

It’s not often you get these three characteristics together, except for jeans and the odd item. The best thing would be to have several scarves to choose from to match each style, so you can swap them and give the impression that you have a great wardrobe.

Among this season’s different styles, the rocker style is a very popular option. Leather jackets, black skinny trousers and high heels to match are the key, and all you need to do is add one final touch round the neck.

The best way is to break the all black look by matching it with a colour like pink. This is one of the most often seen options for the winter months, fuchsia pink or floral patterned scarves.

The vintage style represented by the fitted denim jacket should be combined in the simplest way possible, as it is a style which rejects pretentiousness in favour of simplicity. That is why it is a good idea to use long scarves in simple subtler colours, wrapped around the neck once.

In the winter hippy style packs up, leaving room for the boho chic favoured by Kate Moss, Mary-Kate Olsen, Sienna Miller or Rachel Bilson. Here you will quite often find scarves in a wide variety of paisley patterns, according to your taste, and the colours and looks you want to match. There are thousands of patterns.

Another example of this type of informal style has prompted a lot of talk these months about short jackets in houndstooth check, combined with either dark green fine scarves or keffiyeh scarves, in fashion again this year, but in smaller versions that you won’t need to wrap around quite as much.

These are just some of the ways you can use accessories like scarves. For each style there is a specific scarf and a combination that helps make the most of it. Which is your favourite?
