New York is one of the coldest cities on the fashion month calendar, so you can always expect the editors, stylists, and models outside the shows to be dressed in their best and most creative winter wears. And while New Yorkers are no amateurs to cold-weather dressing (bomb cyclone anyone?) there’s one rather large accessory trend seen outside of the Paris Couture and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks that they might want to embrace ahead of the shows— gigantic statement scarves.
Think Lenny Kravtiz but a bit more practical. We’re predicting very long, very wide, and very fringed mohair scarves similar to the ones that were draped and wrapped over showgoers in eye-catching hues in Paris and Copenhagen. An oversized statement scarf will not only keep you warm, but one will ensure you’ll stand out. Brands such as Marni, Loewe, Jil Sander, and Acne Studios all offer cozy and fuzzy options in a range of vibrant colors and patterns—the perfect antidote to a neutral tailored coat.
There isn’t much to incorporating an oversized scarf into your look; simply dress as you normally would and throw it on. And remember, the bigger the scarf, the better. No matter if you’re attending fashion shows this month or not, the floor-grazing statement scarf is a winter trend anyone can try.
