When you think of fall, there’s likely one fashion piece that sticks out in your mind: scarves. The ultimate autumnal fashion accessory, scarves are a great way to jazz up any outfit. Whether you live in a cold climate where you need a scarf to keep warm on those extra-brisk mornings or you want to use one to elevate your look, the best scarves for women of 2019 can work for any occasion.
How to Choose the Perfect Scarf
Since no scarf is created equal, we’ve come up with a few helpful tips on how to choose the perfect scarf.
Play with different styles and materials. In order to find your go-to, you’ll want to figure out what style works best for you. If you’re someone who relishes in the classic comfort of an oblong scarf, you can switch things up by opting for a fringe or infinity wraparound version. Alternating the type of scarves you wear will not only spice up your wardrobe, it just might lead to you to your perfect fit.
Choose with intent. Like any accessory, a scarf should be chosen with purpose, so you’ll want to be thinking about how you’ll be wearing it. Sure, that silk scarf is gorgeous, but if you live in a climate with a lot of rainfall, it might not be the best choice for you. On the flip side, a wool scarf may be soft and cozy for those in the Midwest, but Floridians will likely want to opt for something just a touch lighter.
Don’t be afraid of a little color. One of the best things about accessorizing is that it gives us a chance to add a final “pop” to our ensembles. A present-but-subtle accessory, scarves offer up the perfect opportunity to do just that. Even if you’re someone who lives in neutrals, you can go for bold with a brightly colored or printed scarf (your outfits will thank you).

Best Infinity Scarf — NEOSAN Thick Knitted Circle Loop Scarf
Infinity scarves, which loop around your neck for full and cozy coverage, are some of the best scarves for staying warm in frigid temperatures. One of the best infinity scarves you can get your hands on is the NEOSAN thick-knit circle loop scarf. Coming in more than 30 colors and knits — several of which I personally own — this scarf is made from a pashmina-like acrylic that is not only soft to the touch but gets softer with each wash.
Traveling can be rough, but its a whole lot easier with Genovega's clever infinity scarf. Designed to help you keep your most important items safe and close to you at all times, this scarf has a hidden zipper pocket that's large enough to store all your essentials — think phones, keys, and IDs — so you won't have to worry about fumbling through your bag the next time you're flying. Genius! It also comes in a wide range of fun colors and prints, so there's sure to be one that catches your eye.
With a fresh fall chill in the air, staying bundled is essential, and nothing gets the job done quite like a blanket scarf. This plaid blanket wrap from reality star and home guru Lauren Conrad's best-selling line, LC by Lauren Conrad, is the perfect specimen. Made from an über-soft acrylic in four fun color combos, this heavyweight scarf is every bit as stylish as it is functional. Kohl's customers will also receive half off when buying a second piece.
If you're seeking the créme de la créme of scarves, only luxurious cashmere — a fiber obtained from goat's wool — will do. We're particularly fond of Nordstrom's original tissue-weight cashmere and wool scarf. Woven from a soft blend of cashmere and wool, this scarf, which features a stylish fringed hem, is as light and airy as they come. And, with 12 fun and seasonal colors (we adore this pictured emerald green), you just may find yourself picking up more than one.
A staple in most people's closets come autumn time, plaid, or checkered patterns, will instantly liven up your wardrobe. We recommend this Zando oversized blanket scarf, which features an eye-catching plaid that's as soft as can be thanks to its cashmere-like acrylic fabric. And, with a $13 price tag, you can afford to add more than one of its 18 color combinations into your scarf rotation.
The world fell head over heels for this now-iconic tweed fabric back it 1954, when Coco Chanel first introduced it on a jacket. Fast forward a couple of decades, and the style has permeated through to all kinds of clothing, including accessories, like this Abbott Boucle Scarf from Anthropologie. Coming in three striking colors (ivory, coral, and olive), this cotton-poly scarf has a soft, looped texture and is hand washable, making it as easy to care for as it is to wear.
For a luxe look that won't break the bank (or harm any animals in the process!) pick up thisLa Fiorentina shaggy faux fur number. Unlike many faux fur scarves, this 100 percent acrylic find, which features a silky satin lining, looks less like a costume piece and more like the real deal. It comes in four colors (camel, gray, pink, and wine) that will make bringing old school glam into your closet a breeze.
A tried and true classic, you can never go wrong with a toasty wool scarf. This year, we're picking up this vintage-inspired pink and red striped Portolano number. This accessory, which features extra-long fringe edges, is not only stylish, its lambswool and angora rabbit hair scarf material make it the perfect pick for those colder winter months when you'll need to keep your nose and mouth firmly under wraps.
Speaking of wraps, if we had to pick one as our favorite on this list, it would be this Halogen colorblock cashmere scarf. The epitome of fall fashion, this wrap's chic pattern pairs with its 100 percent cashmere material to keep you looking fierce and staying warm.
Kate Spade is a brand well known for its stylish accessories, and its silk scarves are no exception. Made from 100 percent silk, this particular gem is a real stunner. It's covered in bold, painted flowers and navy stripes and features a square cut with hand-rolled edges. A flashing foil logo at the trim adds the finishing touch to this gorgeous piece that you'll find yourself wearing all year long.
When the temperatures begin to drop, there's one fabric at the top of our wishlists — fleece. Fleece is beloved for its warmth and comfort, whether used in bedding, such as blankets and sheets, or in a scarf, like this Mission RadiantActive performance pick. Designed to help retain heat while wicking away sweat to keep you dry and warm, this soft-touch fabric is a customer favorite, especially among those who like to enjoy the great outdoors.
Though you may have noticed a few other fringe scarves on this list, our favorite, by far, is this Vertical Stripe version by Madewell. Aside from its soft acrylic construction, we're big fans of its amber, olive, rust, and sky-blue color combination, extra-long tassels, and hand washable properties.
Leopard print is one of the most popular prints on the runway for fall 2019, making Vince Camuto's on-point design not only a want, but a need. Featuring a leopard print alongside rust and black detailing, this scarf, which wraps around your body for a comfortable fit, puts a brand new spin on a sometimes overplayed print, making for a fresh, fun look.
Another of our favorite prints come autumn is houndstooth. Classy and sophisticated, this blank-and-white checked pattern, as seen in Talbots' jazzy scarffrom Talbots will make you like you look like you just stepped out from an old Hollywood movie. A great accent piece, this neck warmer is 100 percent viscose and can be hand-washed and line-dried when its time to be freshened up.
If there's one fabric we can't get enough of during the colder months, it's chenille. With a feel that can only be described as the perfect mix between fluffy and buttery, the material found in Gap's ribbed chenille scarf makes for the scarf of your dreams. Coming in three classic colors (grey crystal, champagne beige, and soft black, this textured piece is also easy to wash, since there's no dry cleaning required — simply add a little laundry soap and scrub!
