From “flandanas” — the fleece-lined bandana that adds extra warmth — to versions in silk or cotton, the bandana made a regular appearance on the catwalks and streets during last month’s Fashion Weeks.

• Popsugar suggests that the bandana may replace your statement necklace.
• From date night to brunch, they also created four looks that incorporate the bandana.
• Coach and Derek Lam 10 Crosby sent their models down the runway sporting the handkerchief scarf.
• Would you sport the look yourself? Here are a few examples for inspiration: Knotted under a turtleneck, with your warm Winter coat, skinny jeans and fun-coloured furry coat, paired with a classic white shirt.

This article on powerful women and their uniforms discusses the concept that when we dress for work, we are “defining our public-facing self”. La Belle Demimondaine finds this idea both interesting and wearying.

Deborah has found Hot and Flashy, a blog that focusses on anti-aging procedures, skincare, make-up, hair, fashion, nutrition, and exercise, very helpful.

Sally recently linked to YLF forum member Sharon’s wonderful and inspiring blog, The Breastless Years. Thanks for letting us know, Deborah.

Check out these slides and video from the Chanel show for Fall 2015 earlier this week. Attendees sat at a brasserie while the models joined them. Angie thought the concept was unique and memorable.

We’re hopefully leaving blanket scarf season behind us very soon, but LadyLilac is definitely saving Jean’s video on how to style an oversized scarf for next Fall.

Lisa’s post on how to wear black, or any colour for that matter, with intention and forethought, really spoke to Vildy.
