From what we've been seeing, designers agree. Any and every brand is putting their own mark on this cold weather accessory . From chunky knits in playful patterns to boucle styles in pastel hues, there's zero excuses for your neck to get cold. So next time you think about spending $10 on "tech-friendly" gloves at Target or a looks-like-every-other-beanie beanie from Urban Outfitters, opt instead for an oversized scarf that's just as much of an accessory as it is a necessity.
