When it comes to accessories, one member of the style family rarely gets the credit it deserves: the silk headscarf.

Most of us only reach for one on bad hair days or when it’s chilly outside, but silk headscarves are far more versatile than that. They’re lightweight enough to layer into any outfit, and with endless prints, colours, and designs to choose from, they add personality without overpowering your look.

Still not convinced? Here are a few ways to style them:
