What do you think of when it comes to Autumn accessories? A large leather tote bag or woollen scarf? Perhaps a ribbed beanie? And while these are all classic and timeless items for those days that are slowly getting chillier, the silk scarf can be perfectly suited to your cosier outfits.

Endlessly fashionable during the Spring and Summer months, the silk scarf makes for one of the most elegant accessories one could wear. And, during the transitional Autumn months, a perfect option instead of a hefty woollen piece. In fact, it’s not necessarily the scarf material that keeps you warm but how you wear it!

You can go for the traditional around-the-neck look, you can cover your hair with your stylish new scarf (perfect for when it inevitably begins to drizzle), or cover your shoulders when you feel a chill. To keep your look cohesive and with a distinctly Autumnal feel, look for scarves with notes of reds and burnt oranges!

If you’re looking to elevate your Autumn wardrobe this season, here is some inspiration and our top picks - we wish you well to use them.
