December is here, but some of the coldest days of the year are still to come. While securing a warm coat usually happens ahead of the freezing temps and snow days, it’s often in the dead of winter when we remember that small accessories, like the best scarves for women, are just as essential. Since there are so many options to choose from, such as beautiful cashmere bandanas, alpaca and wool wraps, and even down puffer styles, it can be hard to decipher which versions will actually stave off the cold—some scarves are more fashion than function. However, the two can coexist and we are here to bring you the best ones that will keep you warm and stylish. Get ready to bundle up with a few of our favorites.

The Classic Scarf

Whether you’re a minimalist at heart who prefers the tried-and-true (here, you will find plenty of plain, knitted cashmere and wool goodies from Cuyana, Vince, and Gabriela Hearst), or prefer a little maximalist flair (see Acne Studios’s colorful checked option or The Elder Statesman’s striped scarf) all of these will add life (and warmth!) to your everyday outerwear. You can’t go wrong with a classic print, such as a tartan plaid (our best bets are on a $60 mega-find from L.L. Bean); however, choosing a bold color can also be a great alternative to print. We love Loewe’s punchy red or Cuyana’s supersized oxblood option. And if texture play is your favorite game, there is a furry style from Nour Hammour that is oh-so-cool, a monogrammed take from Prada in city-chic blue and white, and a dreamy, neck wrap from Favorite Daughter. Whichever route you take, these practical and efficient buys are sure to add a stylish touch to your winter wardrobe.
