Sometimes fashion favours fun over functionality – but not this season because big, cosy scarves are taking centre stage.

On the autumn/winter catwalks – from Gucci and Loewe to Roksanda – brands showcased a plethora of big designs. And now we all want in on it as the weather drops to colder climes in December.

Remember Cardi B’s bright purple style with her face on it? If you’re not quite bold enough to pull that off, then look to Fifties America for some inspiration.

Not only are big scarves cosy, but they’re big enough to act as a second layer, too. From the belt tie tuck style to the big wrap-around, there are many, many ways to wear a massive blanket scarf.
