We love a waffle-knit shirt during the winter, which is why we love this waffle-knit scarf from Everlane. It's actually made with a felted merino wool for a not-so-bulky warming element.

When you're sick of solids or the classic tartan plaid, opt for a more playful winter scarf. This unisex scarf from Verloop is made from an ultra-soft knit to keep you warm and grab attention.

This classic, wool, neutral accessory is made from the perfect blend of Peruvian alpaca and merino wool.

Imagine walking into a room saying your scarf is made from Scottish lambswool. It's equal parts fancy as it is warm. Crafted in by a family-run company with a history in the Scottish textile industry that dates back to 1935, this earth-tone, tartan scarf is rich with history, luxury, and style.

The easy-tie slot will make you look perfectly put together while wearing this pillow-like wrap around your neck.

The key to finding the best winter scarf for you is to consider your closet. Are your clothes and coats in the greens and grays, or do they fall in the blues and blacks category? You’re most likely going to be wearing a scarf on repeat, so make sure it can coordinate with the majority of your signature colors. From the classic tartan plaid, to textured knits, and solid cashmere, there are a ton of different styles to choose from. A bold color like blue or red is a fashion statement we love, while a muted plaid is a seasonal classic.

Beanie With Light Cashmere is the fancier material in this category, for when you’re going out to a party or looking to impress on a day in the office. Wool, on the other hand, is more durable and warmer, but doesn’t feel as soft to the skin as cashmere. Then, there’s a world of knit blends, including our favorite material, merino wool that really does it all.
