Something for the weekend: Spring scarves

If all you require from a scarf is the potential to keep you warm, then you just aren't demanding enough of your wardrobe. Forget fancy jewellery and try-hard ­winter sunglasses. Right now, scarves are the one accessory that will give your look some fashion nous. Printed is better than plain, horsey suggests ­Hermès classicism and leopard-print says jetset fashion. All may well keep out the chill, too, but trust us, that is secondary.
