Why This Scarf Is A Fashion Editor Favourite (Plus, Where To Shop The Best High-Street Alternatives)

The most in demand winter warmer.

As the temperatures drop, we’re always looking for the best way to stay snug and still look stylish. What better way to do just that, than swaddling yourself in a super-sized scarf? And whilst putting on a scarf is by no means groundbreaking to say the least, this one in particular is in high demand with searches increasing 10-fold in the lead up to winter. Enter, the checked mohair scarf by Acne Studios that has, in recent years, confirmed its status as the new winter wardrobe sartorial status symbol.

So, what makes this scarf so great? Well for starters, it’s cosiness factor. With its extra-soft mohair material and extra-large size, this is an accessory that not only looks great but one that’s almost entering blanket territory, so you can really get cosy. Secondly, is the colours. Available in over 7 different checks, you easily find the right combo that will go with everything in your wardrobe.

Spotted across street-stylers and fashion influencers alike, the Acne Studios scarf has gone from having a cult following to being a must-have for any fashion girlie worth her salt. And, whilst the £270 price tag will soon earn it’s keep, there are plenty of other options that will look just as great but are much more purse-friendly.
