5 WAYS TO WEAR: Headscarves

Maybe you've had enough of hairclips. Or maybe you don't particularly like the Lolita-cum-Crystaltips image they can project. Either way, you could try hairbands and headscarves as a means of keeping your fringe out of your eyes. In tribute to our supermodel Dot Cotton, here's how to wear her favourite accessory - the headscarf.
