The shapes and dimensions of winter scarves
It must be said that there are several shapes and sizes of wool scarves. First, there are the classic rectangular scarves measuring 40 to 70cm wide and 180 to 200cm long, which are for everyday wear throughout the winter. Thanks to their wool-based composition, they protect you very well from the cold and follow the latest trends since all ready-to-wear brands offer them. Also, each winter, the big fashion houses launch a signature shape for that year. Currently, the star of the catwalks of the big brands are oversized shawl scarves. These are often large square scarves measuring 120 x 120 cm and even up to 150x150cm or rectangular 100 x 200cm that you can completely wrap yourself up in. Very comfortable for the winter, oversized wool scarves are worn outside with a coat or a jacket. When you’re inside, you can even use them as a blanket.
Winter wool scarves by fabric
To begin with, we can distinguish between several types of wool fabric. Depending on their composition, either 100% wool, or blends of 50% wool and 50% silk, or 50% wool and 50% cotton. You will also notice that there are different animals that produce wool: sheep, goat, and rabbit (see our corresponding article). In particular, cashmere scarves (made from cashmere goat hair) are luxurious fashion accessories. Save these scarves for your formal outfits.
Colors and designs of wool scarves
In this area, trends and fashions change every winter. Both patterns and colors are important factors. You will find a multitude of different choices for accessorizing!
Colors for winter
This season, it’s pastel colored scarves that are in. If you want originality, go for azure blue or mauve. These colors are very fashionable this winter.
If your outfit is too simplistic, try wearing a bright color scarf. Bright red, emerald green, fuchsia pink, and mustard yellow are great for enhancing a winter look. For a smarter, more classic, you can also choose more sober tones like camel, black, or gray. Scarves of this color can be worn with all colors of clothing. Also, they are suitable for all types of styles: casual, sporty, chic, elegant, or sophisticated.
Dare to wear a printed scarf to add a touch of softness to your winter. A printed scarf is a great way to add color and cheerful patterns to an understated look. Do not hesitate to choose a model with colorful patterns, unlike a woven scarf where you would choose more sober, refined colors. If you are wearing a more casual outfit, opt for flashy colors for your scarf. In December, you can wear colors reminiscent of Christmas (red, white or gold) for your everyday look.
Patterns for winter
The big brands focus on specific patterns each winter, one winter it’s stripes, another floral designs, another abstract designs, and so on. It is therefore essential to buy new scarves and stoles every winter. If you don’t want to change your entire wardrobe, having accessories that are up to date with the latest trends will help you to stay up to date.
This season, checks and plaid are in style. Similarly, revisited arabesque-style designs are on the rise. And also animal motifs are very popular this season. All you need to do is look among our Fabrique d’écharpe collections, and you will find a scarf that you will fall in love with!
But if you don’t want to change out all of your scarves every winter, choose timeless colors and designs that will go perfectly with all your outfits every year. Think black, navy, gray beige, and geometric patterns or stripes in neutral colors!
