I fear I may have bought a sarong instead of a scarf.....

Bought a really nice zebra print scarf from H&M, it is edged in hot pink..really pretty.. it was in the scarf section. Got it home and it is enoooooormous, like a sarong. or am i missing something.. are oversized scarves the way forward..?

Does anyone else have this item? Tried to find a picture but no joy

The Stephen Sprouse/Louis Vuitton scarves which were in grazia a couple of weeks ago are huge. SJP is always pictured in large scarves.

Am loving the sound of your zebra one - if the material is lightweight - I suspect it will look fab when scrunched up and draped round your neck. Have you tried it?

ah , glossy magazines are not something i do on a regular basis

it is v light weight.. can certainly do much drapage

seen some pics where the scarf is just over the shoulders without being wrapped round the neck, IFYSWim

just did not want to commit yet another fashion faux pas by wearing a sarong round my neck!

Jigsaw sell lots of oversized scarves and make a virtue of the fact that they could be a sarong too

It sounds fab - I love a bit of animal print so may have to go for a scout around h&m.

Lulu - there will be a stampede on those scarves now - especially at that price.
