I know I’m a fashion editor and all, but I hate dressing up in winter. That’s not to say I don’t like a layered fit. The end result is what gives me joy, but it’s the process that terrifies me. Turning off the alarm and keeping the blanket warm is something I don’t find appealing. But despite everything about winter, there’s one thing that drives me to wear all things every time the cold weather hits: my fun, warm knit scarf.
I went to college in New York City, and I still remember wrapping a thick printed scarf around my neck and pairing it with a jacket (which I bought from Who What Wear x Target, ironically) and feel like the main character in a movie. It also doubles as a blanket when I sit in class, so it’s a win-win. I still own that scarf to this day because it’s something that pops up every winter (and for good reasons).
They became even more popular, thanks to ACNE’s iconic plaid scarf reaching Gen Z and making a splash on TikTok. Many times when I think a winter scarf is worth the investment, I understand not everyone can shell out $290 for one, so I scoured the internet for scarves. The best winter collar will take any outfit to the next level.
Below, you’ll find all the fun (and warm) scarves at any price point you like, from $12 to $290. Don’t leave this one at your ex-sister like Taylor’s. Swift. (If you know, you know.)
