Throughout chillier times, we’re zeroed in ways in which we can swaddle our bodies in ultra-soft and toasty layers. And, one of the easiest ways to float through winter in a warm and fuzzy cloud is with cashmere — specifically in a long and luxurious scarf form. Because these accessories are both practical, chic, in-season, and more affordable than a sweater, they also make for magnificent holiday gift material.
The importance of cozy neck-coverings is undeniable as early-morning winds begin to howl, the rain feels more like falling icicles, and thin turtlenecks just won’t cut it. Whether it’s a blanket scarf that envelopes your face and shoulders or a playful iteration with prints, fringe, and checks, a wearable outdoor throw blanket is worth the investment — for yourself or a lucky giftee. So, let’s wrap ourselves right into it with the 16 cashmere scarves broken down by budget ahead.
