Beanies? Gloves? Sure, they’re wardrobe essentials when the wind chill intensifies, and your coffee cools down faster than you can sip it. But on the winter fashion scale, they’re pretty basic. Scarves, on the other hand, are anything but. These winter accessories have range and can transform an outfit with minimal effort. From patterned and colorful designs to luxe cashmere and wool fabrications and even hooded silhouettes, they’re the MVPs of cold-weather dressing. But if there’s one type that consistently steals the spotlight (and keeps us the coziest), it’s the oversized scarf — the stylishly and borderline excessive piece that turns bundling up into an art form.
This season, brands are doubling down on the trend, offering everything from ultra-plush styles made from faux fur and teddy-like shearling to fuzzy brushed alpaca and vibrant, ribbed silhouettes that rival your favorite throw. So, instead of splurging on yet another pair of forgettable gloves or a one-size-fits-all beanie, opt for an oversized scarf — it’s a budget-friendly way to embrace the scarf coat trend without committing to (or investing in) the full look. Keep scrolling to shop 24 of the season’s best options for every style and sensibility — you’ll be covered, both literally and sartorially.
