A pile of colourful vintage scarves should be tucked away in every mama’s wardrobe. They are so useful – perfect for dressing up an outfit in seconds, ideal for nursing in public or covering up unwashed hair! And you can pick them up nice and cheap from most vintage shops or markets. Obviously, we’ve all worn one round our necks – did you know this season is all about the ‘bib’ style?

• Fold into a triangle and knot at one side around you waist.
