Scarves have always been a fashionable and practical staple of your winter wardrobe, but the particular designs which are up-to-date and on-trend change year by year. During the winter months of 2015/16, a tartan-patterned scarf is the accessory which fashionistas everywhere are choosing to buy. If you want to wrap up warm whilst adhering to the latest fashions, make sure that you have one of these scarves in your wardrobe.

There are a number of different colour available, but red is the most prominent. Bright and bold, red tartan is a modern take on a classic look and it is sure to get you noticed. You can usually pay as much or as little as you like for a scarf, and it’s no different in this instance – prices range from around £5 to hundreds of pounds if you choose a designer brand.

Whereas you would usually wrap a scarf around your neck, many of these scarves are designed to be worn straight down in the neckline. Tucked in the collar of a coat, they should hang straight and vertical as opposed to being layered up. If you still prefer to wrap yourself up in your scarf, you can buy longer versions, but a shorter one is more likely to create the desired effect.
