Scarves

A good scarf is probably the easiest upgrade most men can make to their winter wardrobe and it requires no effort whatsoever beyond owning the scarf. Which is why it's slightly baffling that so many guys are out here in November with their collars turned up against the cold looking vaguely miserable when the solution costs about forty quid and takes three seconds to put on. We've built up a small collection over the years that covers the main bases. A chunky wool scarf for genuinely cold days when you need the warmth and don't particularly care about elegance. A finer merino or cashmere blend for smarter outfits where you want the warmth without adding bulk. A cotton or linen one for those transitional months where you're cold in the morning and too warm by lunchtime. The key thing we've learned is that a scarf in a good neutral colour like camel or grey works with everything and looks intentional rather than like you just grabbed whatever was nearest.
