The Best Cashmere Scarves to Keep You Cosy This Winter
Hypoallergenic and chic? What's not to love
When it comes to my warmest winter accessories, I always reach for a cashmere scarf. Unbelievably soft and less itchier than its woollen counterpart, cashmere is much gentler on my sensitive skin thanks to its natural, hypoallergenic fibres. It’s also excellent at regulating temperature, so I often feel comfortable wearing it both indoors and outdoors—especially when it’s a key part of my outfit.
So, as the winter weather sets in and temperatures begin to drop, there’s never been a more important time to invest in a cosy cashmere scarf. As a seasoned fashion writer and shopping expert, I’m always on the lookout for standout pieces worth adding to my collection—those that not only polish any look but also pair perfectly with my go-to winter coats and cashmere jumpers to keep me warm.
If you're looking to invest in a cashmere scarf, there are plenty of options available right now, ranging from classic styles to more statement-making designs. Uniqlo offers one of the more affordable selections with its range of 100% cashmere scarves in both neutral and bold shades—think timeless colours like beige, off-white, and navy, alongside vibrant hues such as red and yellow.
If you're in the market for more of a hero piece, there’s no shortage of those either. Purchasing a designer scarf can be an accessible way to buy into luxury labels, and fortunately, many brands have introduced so of my favourite styles this season. Loewe and Gucci have created logo-emblazoned options featuring their house insignias woven into the fabric, while brands like Burberry have opted for more understated designs. Reversible scarves have also surged in popularity, offering two colourways—and two different looks—in one.
