Winter is here but some of the coldest days of the year are still to come. While stocking up on a warm, winter coat usually happens ahead of the freezing temps and snow days, it’s often in the dead of winter when we remember that winter accessories, like the best scarves for women, are just as essential. Since there are so many options to choose from, such as beautiful cashmere, alpaca, wool, and even down, it can be hard to decipher which versions will actually stave off the cold—some scarves are more fashion than function. However, the two can coexist and we are here to bring you the best ones that will keep you warm and stylish. Get ready to bundle up with a few of our favorites.
Vogue’s Guide to the Best Scarves for Women:
- The Cozy Cashmere: Cuyana recycled cashmere scarf, $228
- The Under-$100 Find: Zara printed alpaca blend scarf, $46
- The Impossibly Bold Red: Bottega Veneta large cashmere scarf, $2,000
- The Perfect Plaid: Burberry checked cashmere scarf, $590
- The Packable Puffer: Prada wool and Re-Nylon scarf, $1,050
- The Classic Checked: Uniqlo Heattech scarf, $20
- The Fluffy Fringe: Loewe Anagram fringed scarf, $690
- The Logo Mania Pick: Gucci GG cashmere shawl, $995
Whether you are a minimalist at heart and prefer the tried-and-true (here, you will find plenty of plain, knitted cashmere and wool goodies from Cuyana, Vince, and Gabriela Hearst), or prefer a little maximalist flair (see Acne Studios’s colorful checked options or The Elder Statesman’s striped scarf) all of these will add life (and warmth!) to your everyday outerwear. You can’t go wrong with a classic print, such as a tartan plaid (our best bets are on a $20 mega-find from Uniqlo), however choosing a bold color can also be a great alternative to print. We love Guest in Residence’s punchy red or Bottega Veneta’s supersized crimson. And if texture play is your favorite game, there is a furry style from Nour Hammour that is oh-so-cool, a down puffer take from Prada in city-chic black, and a dreamy, ribbed wrap from Cos. Whichever route you take, these practical and efficient buys are sure to add a stylish touch to your winter wardrobe.
