What scarf would you want if someone was going to buy you a scarf for Christmas?

I know scarves, especially “indoor scarves” are not necessarily flavour of the month on S&B but my father wants to know what to get me for Christmas and I’m getting a bit of a yen for a really nice new scarf.

So what would you get? Indoor or outdoor, cheap or spendy, what would you like under the tree from the Christmas Scarf Fairy? Don’t worry about what I might want, just throw some ideas out to inspire me please.

I love scarves. 🥰

My top 3 would be:

Cashmere scarf. Leopard print, houndstooth, camel or burgundy.

Or a wool/cashmere mix in a vintage plaid from somewhere like Barbour.

Or a pompon hat/scarf set from AmeliaJane.

Ninkanink · 23/11/2019 19:29

Spendy options would be from Mulberry or LV.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2019 19:30

Grey cashmere for me

Didiusfalco · 23/11/2019 19:30

Avoca scarfs are beautiful. Lots of nice colours.

SwedishEdith · 23/11/2019 19:32

A silk square to wear like a neckerchief or a long skinny one.

WineandPretzels · 23/11/2019 19:34

Another vote for cashmere here.

I think a quality scarf is a long gift. I buy myself cheapo ones but something more luxurious would be a real treat.

I second Avoca. I have a hot pink cashmere/wool from 2018 and my friend has the hot orange version. Best scarf ever.

I got mine in Dublin but think you can get them online now.

I love Oscha and Firespiral scarves - stock comes and goes as the most beautiful designs sell out quickly but they do some real beauties!

Ooohhhhh
Was in the Toast shop in Cheltenham last weekend and they had the most lovely soft scarf there
Green colour...quite bright but so, so lovely
I’ve put it into my online basket and am now waiting for their sale

Ninkanink · 23/11/2019 19:57

Ohhh yes there’s at least one I want at Toast.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 23/11/2019 19:59

My MIL got me a beautiful cashmere scarf from Johnstons of Elgin a few years ago - the base colour is grey, with checks in a heathery colour. I didn’t ask for a scarf, but it is just perfect and so cosy.

PurpleFrames · 23/11/2019 20:06

A patterned pashmina

BestIsWest · 23/11/2019 20:37

I would like a grey cashmere scarf please. M&S or John Lewis will do.

Belindabelle · 23/11/2019 20:41

Hermes 90cm silk square scarf for me please.

iMatter · 23/11/2019 20:58

Paul Smith multicoloured silk scarf. £135 from John Lewis. Love it

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2019 21:17

Paul Smith = beautiful ones. I'd quite like one of the men's striped ones.

JaceLancs · 23/11/2019 21:20

I don’t do indoor scarfs just wear with a coat when cold
I would love a missoni scarf
I’ve also asked for a Vivienne Westwood one for Xmas

MrsApplepants · 23/11/2019 21:27

A Hermes silk square for me

MintToBee · 23/11/2019 21:29

I am in love with Turtle Doves recycled cashmere scarves, loops and neck warmers. I have quite a few and will always welcome more!

Ninkanink · 23/11/2019 21:34

Mmmm silk scarves! I love those for ‘indoor scarves’.

I have a list of about 10 that I want/need.

SpeckledyHen · 23/11/2019 21:42

John Lewis cashmere in rust .

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/11/2019 22:16

I've got Westwood one but it creases horribly.
