An Oversized Scarf Is The Accessory Of The Season
When Lenny Kravitz was papped in a huge oversized scarf, fashion folk were quick to jump on the style bandwagon. He is a rock god, after all. But he wasn’t the only one to make this accessory the most sought-after winter piece, as it was spotted on a number of designer catwalks and even more achingly cool influencers…
As someone who has always embraced the cuddly, comforting feel of a big cosy scarf, it’s hard to see this fabulous fashion piece as a trend, but a current trend it is. And a big one at that; statement-worthy, in fact. Last year it was all about the Acne Studios scarf. Well guess what, this year it’s all about the same. The brand has gone all out creating a colourful array of mohair scarves, plus they can now be personalised. We’re thinking dream Christmas gift. Other designer labels to push the blanket scarf are Loewe and Isabel Marant. Again, I would start dropping those hints now.
However, as you’d expect, the high street is awash with, quite frankly amazing dupes. Cos immediately springs to mind with numerous influencers donning the brand’s oversized checked scarves. Last year, Primark’s version was everywhere and it looks like we’re on repeat for AW23. You can, of course, rely on Zara, Mango and Arket to bring us the hottest products at affordable prices.
Personally, I’m coveting the latest Ganni selection. We’re talking huge, snuggly pieces in reds, burgundy and pinks. Oh, but then there’s Sézane. See, I told you, you can’t beat a giant scarf. So, as not just a fan of Lenny, but a lover of scarves, I’ve picked out my absolute faves just for you….
