From Margiela to Loro Piana - The Best, Warmest Scarves To Shop This Season
Around late September, as cities blush auburn and chill creeps in, tops are replaced with thicker layers made of meatier materials like wool and brushed cotton. Tall boots come in, and as the season progresses waist-cut jackets are exchanged for puffers and coats that hit under the knee.
Amidst it all, the neck is at risk of getting the least attention. Rather than leaving it bare, risking precious heat escaping from a critical insulation point, choose the right accessory. Choose the right scarf.
The selection below curates the best scarves from this season, from timeless patterned styles to modern, sculptural reinterpretations, spanning luxury brands and independent labels, plus some bang-for-your-buck options, all with the power to pull together a winter look with one wrap.
