The Blanket Scarf Is the Ultimate Winter Accessory
1/14You know what they say: Never underestimate the oversized scarf.
Okay, maybe they don’t say that, but this seemingly innocuous accessory is definitely the best winter weapon you should have in your closet. Oversized scarves are stylish, versatile and you can totally wear them as a blanket if the situation calls for it (hello, chilly planes!). Yet surprisingly, despite its many obvious uses, a large piece of wool fabric can be overwhelming when it comes to styling your cold weather ensembles.
Take notes on how these celebrities and bloggers have been rocking the oversized scarf — you'll be looking good and staying warm all winter long.
