I've always wondered how to make the most out of my scarf collection, and Trinny Woodall's latest styling video, '25 Ways to Style a Scarf,' offers the perfect solutions.

From "making them into skirts" to layering leopard print, this video tells us exactly how to use our favourite accessories to make standout outfits. This is might just be the perfect way to mix up your winter capsule wardrobe looks without buying a whole new closet.

She reveals that an oversized scarf can go a long way, recommending larger cut pieces (210 cm x 180 cm), she demonstrates how they can be wrapped, tucked, and layered into skirt-like silhouettes, an innovative styling move that can be used all year round.

I've picked out three of my favourite outfits from the video found some fabulous high street alternatives to shop for 2025.

Friends Like These Purple Flute Sleeve Knit Jumper

This funnel neck jumper features stylish sleeve buttons which elevate this everyday jumper. Picture this paired with a matching purple tone or dark indigo denim.

Zara Beaded Necklace

A statement necklace can be the perfect finishing touch to a monochrome or block coloured outfit, and this pick from Zara has now been discounted in the sale.

There are three standout looks that immediately caught my eye: a vintage Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf wrapped into a skirt styled with a leopard print silk blouse and brown gilet, which Trinny mentions was from "Portobello Market" and that from the "70s.". And the chicest grey printed square scarf, layered over leggings, a grey jumper, and an oversized blazer to complete the outfit.

The final look that deserves attention is the block-coloured purple look, consisting of a large, wrapped, and tucked skirt, a matching tone jumper, and an unexpected orange beaded necklace—simply so chic!

If you are going to transform your scarves into skirts, what's essential, according to Trinny, is the leggings; make sure to invest in a quality pair to keep you warm and comfortable.
