Becksöndergaard Pineneedle Green Elyria Cotta Scarf

Some accessories shout for attention. This one quietly gets compliments from people with really good taste.

There's something wonderfully old-world about the print, like a scarf you've borrowed from a stylish grandmother who travelled everywhere and somehow made everything look effortless. The soft pine green sits alongside rich teal, deep indigo and warm cream, giving it far more versatility than you'd expect. It works with denim, linen, crisp white shirts, chunky knits and even a simple black blazer when you want one interesting detail instead of lots of them.

It's one of those pieces that changes depending on how you wear it. Tie it neatly at the neck with a Breton top and it feels slightly French. Fold it into a triangle and knot it loosely over a T-shirt and suddenly your outfit has far more personality. Wrap it around a ponytail, thread it through a basket bag handle or knot it around your wrist instead of wearing jewellery. Those are often the styling tricks that make an outfit feel considered without looking as though you've tried too hard.

Made from 100% cotton, it's beautifully lightweight and soft, so you'll find yourself reaching for it long after scarf weather has disappeared. The size makes it endlessly useful too, whether it's around your neck, in your hair or tied onto your favourite bag
