The Best Men’s Scarves Tie Every Cold-Weather Fit Together

A patterned scarf makes your outfit look more intentional, which makes you look more intentional. This one was carefully designed by Lands’ End to feel like cashmere, at a noticeably non-cashmere price.

That minty green shade would’ve been enough for inclusion, but when you add two large pockets, all for less than $50, you make yourself undeniable.

If you don’t love the feeling of excess fabric falling down your chest, spring for Our Legacy’s much warmer take on the neckerchief.

Another bandana-shaped option from a fashion-guy approved brand, Margaret Howell’s 100% lambswool scarf covers every area you need it to and none you don’t.

Or keep it patriotic with this all-wool stole from Polo—some extra horsepower’s never a bad idea.

A puffer coat and wool scarf is predictable. A wool coat with a down, puffer-style scarf? He’s living in 2026 already.

There’s a good chance you came to this story with a red fringed scarf in mind. Here’s one that’s as classic as they come, in 100% wool, for under $100.

True cashmere is hard to find at this price point, but sometimes weaving just a little of the stuff into your wool—as Barbour has done here—softens everything up just so.

Spending a little more gets you elite patterns and fabrication, starting with this zany option from Howlin’, in brushed natural lambswool.

No, this isn’t a half-and-half scarf. It’s actually double-faced: dignified navy on one side, ocean blue on the other. And ready to be twisted into any configuration you desire.

Pitch-perfect with or without a business suit to match, this pinstripe scarf would pair beautifully with a charcoal or navy coat.

For 100% cashmere woven in England, Todd Snyder wisely called in Joshua Ellis, whose cashmere accessories have been made in England for over 250 years.

It’s not cashmere, but it is understated, versatile, and accompanied by mfpen’s fashion-insider bat signal logo patch.

We recently asked the Colbo folks about their newest outside pickups, but the in-house line gets better every season.

We now enter the world of exquisite, stare-at-all-day designs. Before Drake’s was the menswear behemoth it is today, it made its name from the intricate patterns of its silk scarves. This Mughal print has been a brand mainstay since the late 1970s—you’ll be wanting the print on your rug next.

I’d wager that in the last decade, Acne’s tasteful checked mohair print scarves have been the biggest thing to happen in the scarf world. There are now countless colorways—including color-blocked bright ones you’ll spot from a city block over—but I’m a little more into this peaceful arrangement these days.

If Lenny Kravitz was here, this is probably the scarf he’d reach for. It’s a little fuzzy, a lot soft, and part of a limited edition of only 40 pieces.

Fair Isle sweaters can be intimidating to pull off, which is a shame when the iconic print is such fun. The solution? Rocking a Fair Isle scarf.

With the kind of dense weave that only Scottish mills can promise, this full cashmere scarf comes in tones you could stare at for hours—and will feel like butter on your neck, for all time.

One of the biggest names in Scottish cashmere, with a history going back to, yep, 1797, Johnstons of Elgin scarves are the ones I wear. Though I’d trade in all my darker ones for this check masterpiece.

Sticking with Johnstons—I’m biased, but they really are one of the very best—this ‘Lofty’ scarf is about half the price of the one above, but was still handmade in Scotland, from 100% cashmere, and it even has some subtle flecks.

Few people on this planet have as much of a galaxy brain for color matching as Dries van Noten. (Side note: A good friend, now in his early 30s, says his Dries scarf is the best purchase he made during his entire twenties.)
