As much as we don’t want to face it, the brisk fall air will soon be replaced by bone-chilling winter weather. Lightweight knits and flannels will be traded for chunky sweaters and fur-lined boots to survive the frigid New York winters. But just because the weather will change, that doesn’t mean your wardrobe will have to suffer. While it’s important to make sure your campus style is comfortable and practical, you don’t have to sacrifice style for warmth, nor to do have to say goodbye to all of your beloved fall fashion staples.
Behold, the infinity scarf: not only is it fashionable and versatile, it can also be a lifesaver for those dreaded walks around campus when the temperature drops unbelievably low. While some magazines and fashion bloggers claim that the infinity scarf is out of season, no one can deny that these closet must-haves are perfect for adding that extra pizzazz and warmth to otherwise ordinary looking winter outfits.
Whether you prefer chunky infinity scarves to lock in body heat or lightweight knit scarves to make a fashion statement, there’s no doubt that this piece is essential to add to your closet this upcoming winter season if you haven’t already. Like the name implies, there are an infinite amount of ways to style your scarf that will not only keep your neck and chest warm but will also enhance your cold weather ensemble. Check out some popular looks celebrities turn to:
