WHO KNEW THE SCARF COULD BE SO VERSATILE?

We’ll kick things off with the most pressing piece on this list: the jacket. We don’t know when it happened, but suddenly it’s hard to leave the house without at least three layers and a hot water bottle. Thus, the coat and jacket hunt is officially in full swing. Whether you're updating last year’s roster or just fancy something a little cosier, pinning down the perfect piece of outerwear is no mean feat. That’s why we’re loving these scarf designs. And these oversized statement coats are as warm as they are eye-catching. The work commute may be a little more daunting now winter’s rolling in, but these jackets make the prospect a little more exciting.

From outings to OUT-outings, we've got you covered. Despite days filled with thermals and hot beverages, the latter end of the year also promises evenings filled with drinks and dancing – and that calls for some suitably statement dresses. Rest assured the scarf also has something to offer in this department. Nothing makes an entrance like the trail of a gown or the flick of fabric over your shoulder. And each of these evening looks provides a flair of its own, from a draped shawl or an exaggerated velvet train (with tassels! Talk about va-va-voom). We love the nod to 90s Carrie Bradshaw that the skinny satin scarf adds to your usual mini dress, too.

Between the cold-weather walks and jam-packed evenings, there are plenty of scarf-shaped tops to fill your day-to-day wardrobe. These pieces work for everything from the office to coffee-dates, adding unique movement and elevated detail to your get-up. We love this sheer blouse for a sultry ‘fit that’s still weather appropriate, and the satin ARRANGE number feels formal without looking too overdressed. It’s an added bonus that these designs look more complicated than they actually are. We love a piece of clothing that does this kind of heavy lifting, leaving less time planning your look and more time showing it off.
