Scarves will continue to be big this winter. We have seen all sorts of scarves over the last year, tasselled, fuller, skinny, striped, animal print, long and short. The season of scarves is not yet over.

The overall rule with scarves are take into account your neck length and your height. These two factors help when choosing how to wear your scarf and how long it should be.

1. If you are under 160cm or 5 ft 3, then don't wear too long a scarf. It will be noticeably too long for your height and people will notice you are a little more vertically challenged.

2. If you have a long neck, you are the ideal scarf wearer. You have many options on how you wear it, including wrapped around the neck with even sides down your front, the front knot high up against your throat and the neck-tie scarf.

3. If you neck isn't so long, then your best options are the open scarf look. Wear your scarf like you wear your lower necklines, lower :-) and not up around your neck.

Other accessories that are hot this season include big chunky rings and necklaces. The chunky necklace has been around for a while and isn't going anywhere soon. The reason being as that a fun, funky, modern piece can lift any outfit. Choose the size of jewellery that fits YOUR body size. Medium for medium etc.

See the fabulous jewellery on my website for some perfect pieces to make those outfits stand out www.wardrobeflair.com

Another great option with jewellery is being able to incorporate the latest trend in clothing with your accessories. For instance, an animal print scarf is still bang on trend. This seasons colours in a chunky accessory is again a great look. With winter coming scarves will not doubt bulk up a bit, but those with boobs be warned! Don't go too crazy on the bulky scarf as you will only add to your chest size.

Enjoy accessories and have fun wearing them. I wear them everyday whether with jeans and a T, or with a work dress or outfit.

Thanks for that Trudi that was useful, especially the advice about the scarves for us shorties. I have been wearing mine the wrong way, so I will rectify that pronto lol.

I am loving some of the chunky rings I have picked up, nice to know that chunky is in.
