The £2 street style flourish from Paris Haute Couture

Call us micro trend magpies, or just bargain hunters, but weve spotted an accessory we can all purchase before payday.

Instead of voluminous blanket scarves or furry stoles, show-goers wore the skinniest of black scarves around their necks at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.And not only are the slips of plain material affordable for every budget (Zaras are now in the sale for £2, while scarf connoisseurs Rockins charge £85), they appear to pair well with anything.

Elena Perminova (above) took a tip from the Kate Moss style book, using hers to add edge to jeans, a tee, fur jacket and booties.Others ran with the same grunge theme, using neckties, or lavallières as Saint Laurent so chicly calls them, as an additional point of interest on all-black, leather looks.

Silk options chime with the current trend for wearing pyjamas as daywear.Pick your pjs in the same sheeny satin or silk material as your scarf to tie the look together and evoke a sense of modern, undone tailoring.

Good news for those who cant imagine contending with such a tiny scarf wafting around in the current blustery weather: the accessory is a useful evening accent too.Unlike metallic necklaces or standout jewels, a black tie tones down a look, as shown by this outré show-goer.

An all-black palette, as demonstrated by Czech model Karolina Kurkova last week, makes for an effortlessly chic after hours option, and can even be achieved with a thick roll of ribbon too.Buy now, and celebrate the end of dry January in (affordable) style this weekend.
