Women's Scarves

Wrap up warm this season with a women's winter scarf – it's the best gift you can give yourself!

When the cold weather starts to set in, you're sure to have your thick winter coats, parkas and boots ready to go. But have you thought about accessories? A scarf, hat and gloves are an essential trinity for keeping your neck, hands and head warm, and they're a great way to personalise an often sober winter outfit too! That being said, they're even ideal in the mid-season if you want to add a little flair to your look! If you're unsure about which scarf is right for you, keep on reading – we've got everything you need, right here.

The 411 on women's scarves: how do you wear them, how best to tie them and where can you buy a long, super-soft scarf that combines warmth with fashion?

More than just a way to keep your neck warm, scarves come in a full range of shapes, sizes, colours and fabrics – so let's get back to basics. Which model you choose will depend on both your style and the season in which you'll be wearing it. For mild chills in autumn and spring, a short and lightweight model made from polyester, cotton or acrylic is more than sufficient to add a little extra warmth and a touch of style to complement your jacket. A simple over-under knot will do (there may not be enough fabric for a more complex knot). In colder climes, a heavier and longer knit model will be sure to keep you warmer for longer. Try a few different knots to see which suits you best, from the double wrap-around or French loop, to an over-under that can be tucked into your coat. Make sure you have a selection of scarves in your closet, so that you'll always be ready to face the great outdoors!

From fringed and fancy to plain and lightweight (and even knitted snoods), we've got all the types of women's scarves you need

Utility aside, scarves are a fantastic way to add a splash of colour and interest to any outfit. They also draw attention away from a bulky coat and winter layers, fixing the focus on your face. To complete more elegant outfits or business wear, we recommend either a delicate, lightweight model or a classy dark blue, black or daring red scarf. Meanwhile, casual weekends demand brighter, more playful colours. You can also match your scarf with your gloves and hat to great effect. If you're looking for something even more fun, why not try a snood? These fabric loops are easy to pull on over your head and are a great choice whether around town, out walking, or even on the ski slopes!
