Favourite Eldon Striped Scarf colour combo?
W: Anything with blue, especially midnight blue. It’s timeless, elegant, and I always find a way to wear it. Today I have opted for the Bright Blue & Black Combo.
A: I tend to gravitate towards olive greens, yellows and navy. Today I am wearing a very special scarf made by Tommy and it is Yellow & Navy. I love a subtle pop of colour with my accessories.
Favourite place to wear your Striped Scarf?
W&B: London, or any city, really, is the perfect place for a striped scarf. For me, it adds a little extra polish and makes me feel ready for the day. In the countryside, you can throw on anything, but in the city, a scarf like this makes even a simple outfit feel a bit more special.
