As many of us cross over from fall into the portion of the year that comes with some serious temperature drops, it’s time to assess your closets and ensure any winter staples you may need (puffer jackets, trench coats, sweaters) have been revamped. Lastly, it’s a fresh take on the winter scarf that will add a splash of extra color and fun to an outfit. Luckily, brands are already a few steps ahead with designs that are both exciting to look at and, ultimately, actually keep you warm, too.
Choosing a new scarf for the season requires considering a few things. First, the amount of warmth your surroundings require will determine whether it’s a chunky, blanket-like sweater you need or a lightweight, waffle knit. What garments you plan on styling your scarves can also play a role. For instance, you may grab a different scarf to accompany your leather puffer jacket than you may on a night out to accompany a dress and jacket. Don’t be afraid to go beyond what’s been traditionally thought to constitute fall colors as well and explore scarves in various colors and prints (plaid and beyond).
Whether you’re looking for a fuzzy scarf you can cuddle up with on a whim or just a statement accessory to bring your winter wardrobe to life, explore the 11 options we’ve curated below.

Ted Baker London Asliee Magnolia Scarf
With contrasting prints on either side, this scarf is an undeniable statement. Pair it with all black and allow its motif to be the focal point, or try adding on a coat in a bold color such as red or green for an even more striking combination.
Nothing says fall like a plaid scarf, and this style from Zara comes with a minimal, pared down colorway and pattern that feels elevated and versatile.
You might not want to grab a chunky scarf for a night out. A thin, velvet, jewel-toned scarf, however, adds an unexpected element to a slip dress or a silk blouse with jeans.
