If we learned anything from “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift, it’s that scarves are so much more than just a simple accessory. (As the Grammy winner sings, “But you kept my old scarf from that very first week, because it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me.”) Symbolic significance aside, scarves can elevate your winter wear in seconds! And they also provide plenty of extra warmth to keep you cozy in cold weather.
Scarves are one of our go-to holiday gifts for anyone on our list! They’re effortlessly elegant and totally timeless. Below are 15 styles that belong in any winter wardrobe. Whether you’re shopping for yourself or picking out a present for someone else, these scarves will save the day. And we’re pretty sure T.Swift would approve.
