Scarves – a cosy layer between your skin and the outside world. While functional by nature, the snug accessories make for a striking gesture of self-expression, possessing the ability to inject colour into any everyday look.

Let’s face it, a British winter doesn’t exactly conjure up images of vibrancy and joy. The tubes are jam-packed with black wool coats, rain jackets and monochrome knits, worn by bleary-eyed commuters en route to the office.

Cue the statement scarf. Warming, radiant and dopamine-inducing, a stand-out scarf has the power to transform a monotonous outfit into a conversation starter. Stripes, checks, logos, text and florals make for a playful accent, ensuring your wardrobe is anything but dull.

When it comes to scarves, we’d always suggest investing. Luxury names like Loewe, Jacquemus, Marni, Burberry and Comme des Garçons have reimagined the humble scarf, turning it into the ultimate cool-girl accessory – a statement piece that speaks volumes about personal style.

Statement scarves were a mainstay on the AW25 runways, hinting at a collective desire to stand out this season. Christopher John Rogers injected his ever-colourful collection with fringed pieces, cut from varying hues of lime green. Givenchy on the other hand opted for XL sateen pieces, knotted at the side in extravagant bows. Chloé took an entirely different route, incorporating fur stoles into its bohemian runway offering.

From Charles Jeffrey Loverboy to Marni, discover the five best statement scarves to shop this season.
