Their ever-presence in the sphere of the stylish is hardly surprising.

1. The Bandana
Method: Fold the scarf in half to create a triangle. Place the long edge of the scarf on your forehead and tie the two corners of the triangle together at the back of your head.

3. The Wraparound
Method: Fold the scarf in half to create a triangle. With the triangle centred and pointing downwards, wrap the scarf around your neck and tie it underneath the bottom of the triangle, so that the knot is hidden.

4. The Hair Tie
Method: Fold the scarf multiple times until you are left with a long narrow piece to work with. Secure hair with a clip and tie bow around your hair with the scarf, as you would a present.

Hi Margaret – thanks for your comment. The four flowers on our Platinum Jubilee silk scarf are Irish clovers, Welsh daffodils, Scottish thistles and English roses: collectively recognised as the four Flowers of the Realm.
What do the 4 symbols stand for on the Queen Elizabeth scarf? I recognize a buttercup (jonquil), shamrock, Scottish thistle and some type of leaf? What is it . The significance? Thanks.
