As the winter weather sets in and temperatures continue to drop, there has never been a more important time to invest in a cosy cashmere scarf. The best cashmere scarves, are the kind of items that will keep you warm and cosy throughout the next few months, while simultaneously elevating any and every outfit. 

Cashmere is derived from a particular breed of goat known, known as the cashmere goat. The animal lives in climates where temperatures hit below - 40°C in the winter, which explains why the material is so warm. 

If you're looking to invest in a cashmere scarf are plenty of options available right now, ranging from simple to statement looks. Uniqlo has created one of the more affordable offerings with its range of 100% cashmere scarves in a number of neutral and bold shades. Think classic colours like beige, off-white and navy, alongside fun hues like red and yellow. 

If you're in the market for more of a hero piece, there is no shortage of options for that, too. Purchasing a designer scarf can feel like a more accessible way to buy into luxury brands, and luckily there are so many designers who have debuted chic scarves this season. 

Loewe and Gucci have created logo-emblazoned options with their house insignia printed into the fabric, while places like Burberry have opted for more understated designs. Reversible scarves also seem to have gained prominence this season, offering customers two separate colourways and therefore two different looks in one.
