Cold Weather Scarves

Wool Scarves, Chunky Knit Scarves & Cozy Wraps for Cold Weather

A good winter scarf does a lot of work. We carry wool scarves, chunky knit styles, and oversized wraps in solid neutrals, plaids, and stripes, so there is a weight and texture for every kind of cold. Wear one looped twice for extra warmth, or draped long over a coat for a softer line. Pair it with a knit beanie for a matching set, or add earmuffs on the coldest days. For something that covers more, browse our balaclavas. Take your time and pick the one that feels right.

Frequently Asked Questions on Winter Scarves

What is the warmest type of winter scarf?

Wool and thick knit scarves hold heat best. Look for a dense weave or a chunky stitch, and choose a longer length so you can wrap it more than once.

How do I tie a scarf so it stays put?

A simple loop works for most coats. Fold the scarf in half, wrap it around your neck, and pull the ends through the fold. For extra security, tuck the ends under your coat lapel.

What size scarf should I choose?

Oversized wraps are good for layering and can double as a shawl. Narrower scarves sit neatly under a collar and suit lighter outerwear.

How do I choose a scarf color that goes with my coat?

Neutrals pair with almost anything. If your coat is a solid color, a plaid or patterned scarf adds interest, and if your coat is patterned, a solid is the easier match.

How do I care for a wool scarf?

Check the care label first. Most wool scarves do best hand washed in cool water and dried flat. Store them folded, since hanging can stretch the knit.
