These functional yet fashionable winter warmers deserve a spot in anyone’s wardrobe
The winter weather is well in truly here, and while we may not have had a white Christmas, it’s looking like 2024 will be getting off to a snowy, frosty start. But before we go gallivanting out in the open air, it’s time we take wrapping up warm in cosy clothes rather seriously, and accessories are at the top of that list. While woollen hats will keep our heads toasty, gloves get full marks for holing up our hands until the wet, windy weather passes, and thermals are the go-to on incredibly icy days, scarves are the snuggly essential that are as much as a fashion statement as an absolute necessity.
Remember when Bridget Jones wrapped her soft cream number over her head with black oval sunnies (à la Audrey Hepburn) and headed off in the open-roof car with Daniel Cleaver? Or when Isla Fisher’s character, Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic basically changed her life thanks to a green scarf? And let’s not forget a white Hermès scarf was the staple item that set Miranda Priestly apart as a standout style star in The Devil Wears Prada. Who knew scarves could become so memorable?
Well, if designer styles including Burberry, Acne Studios and Loewe are anything to go by this season, they’ll be just that. Keep scrolling to see our favourites, from the high end to the high street.
Acne Studios fringed check-jacquard felted scarf
Acne Studios scarves are one of the most coveted winter warmers around, so many a fashion fan is sure to have their eye on one. Crafted from a cosy blend of alpaca, wool, nylon and mohair, best believe they’re as functional as they are fashionable, too.
Shop Acne Studios fringed check-jacquard felted scarf at Matches Fashion, £249
River Island black stitch detail scarf
Thanks to the trending Toteme scarf coat, blanket stitch detailing is bound to be a key accent for 2024. Upgrading a basic black scarf with this fashionable flair, this River Island option is shooting to the top of our wish lists.
Jigsaw alpaca blend fringed scarf
If you’re looking to liven up your outerwear look, this bold blue scarf could do the trick. Made from a blend of alpaca and wool, it’s sure to be warm as well as striking in style.

Loewe fringed printed knitted scarf
Although quiet luxury dominated last year, loud logos still deserve a spot in any fashion fans wardrobe and this Loewe scarf is a perfect example of how the two can combine chicly. Woven from wool, mohair and polyamide, it’s sure to be snuggly, too.
