It’s that time of year—the time where you realize you need some warmer pieces in your wardrobe and you make an impulsive decision to buy something to combat the cold because you just…can’t…deal.
This time, there’s one warm weather item that won’t be your most spontaneous decision you’ve ever made. I bring you the blanket scarf, also known as the over-sized scarf.
You have Burberry to thank for this trend with this blanket scarf that graced the runways, but you’re probably not going to drop $1000 on a scarf tomorrow (and if you are, can we be friends and I borrow your new scarf?). There are many great scarf options out there right now that won’t break the bank, including this pretty good Burberry-style-cape-scarf.
The thing about blanket scarves that makes it coveted at the moment is that you look effortlessly chic when you wrap this over-sized bad boy around your neck and then you can wrap it around like a cape if you choose to do so. If you want to go full on into the trend, drape it over one shoulder over your coat a la Burberry. A lighter version like this acrylic one I’m wearing here comes in handy even in the spring for those chilly evenings when I want to wrap something around my shoulders while I’m out to dinner.
The best part about scarves, in my opinion, is that you just can’t have too many and you can match them to your outerwear or outfit. Check out some of my favorites below.
