Faded
This plaid scarf has been faded to the point where it looks like your grandpa could've owned it. Whether or not that was the goal doesn't matter—the vintage vibe rules.
All OvEr ThE PlAcE
If eccentricity is something you like to channel with your style, consider this scarf. Featuring a mishmash of colorful stripes, checkers, and textures, it's got a lot of personality.
Still Clueless
Cher-approved.
Warm & Fuzzy
Because sometimes all you need is a neutral goes-with-anything scarf that'll feel like a soft and cozy hug around your neck.
Cat Wrap
This will take any black puffer coat from drab to cool in one easy swoosh.
Pink Cloud
If the sheer sight of this chunky knit scarf doesn't give you major hygge vibes then I don't know what would.
Checks, Mate
Another grandpa scarf, but this time in more neutral hues. If you're someone who lives in a wool peacoat and knit beanie in the winter this is the perfect addition to your look.
Christmas in July
Channel summer vibes all winter long with this brightly hued and super soft scarf. It'll ensure that none of your cold weather outfits are ever called gloomy.
Wavy
The cool woven design and muted color palette of this scarf already render it cool, but add in the fact that it's also got ruffled edges and it's doubly cute.
Old Fashioned
The name of my favorite drink and now my favorite scarf. I love how the red pops against the camel and renders it at once classic and thoroughly modern, and I will never say no to an oversized houndstooth. The fringe on the ends and fuzzy softness make it as close to perfect as a scarf can get.
Mad For Plaid
Because a classic plaid scarf is always a favorite, and for good reason.
