It’s that time of the year again! While summer is all sunshine and lollipops for some, hay fever sufferers are in for a rough time on sunny days – which favour higher pollen counts.
As the symptoms kick in – runny nose, itchy throat and watery eyes – the red-eyed bunch might be stocking up on packets of Kleenex, but have you ever considered ditching the tissues and bringing the handkerchief back?
Hay fever allergies can leave most unlucky sufferers looking quite run down, so what better way to look on the bright side than a stylish hanky – here’s our pick of the best.
