We hate to be the ones to bring it up, but blistering cold temps are on the horizon and will make it just that much harder to pry yourself from the covers. But what if you could take a trusty, oh-so cozy security blanket out into the elements with you? Enter the blanket scarf. The perfect hybrid between an outerwear (opens in new tab) accessory and a comforter, these scarves are actually large enough to use as a blanket. They're the perfect travel companion and do double-duty trapping heat and adding style to your everyday wardrobe. Whether you love a soft-to-the-skin cashmere scarf (opens in new tab), a bold plaid pattern, or find yourself gravitating towards the season's trendy puffer (opens in new tab), we've rounded up the best cozy, covetable blanket scarf options out there.
The Plaid Scarf
This quintessential scarf print will complement all of your cold-weather corduroys and tweeds. Opt for a traditional tartan motif or a larger check pattern with bold, primary color schemes.

The Logo Scarf
A large, logo-adorned scarf will be the star of the show. Style yours over one shoulder, fastened with your favorite belt (opens in new tab), or sport it over your shoulders accompanying a minimalist knit dress. (opens in new tab)
