Hat & Scarf Must-Haves for Autumn/ Winter 2016

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lancaster chapter.

Because I’m terrible with money and a sucker for winter. I also own half of these, so take my recommendations as gospel truths!

Double-Faced Checked Scarf – Zara, £22.99

No, that isn’t my new Instagram profile picture, although you’d be forgiven if you thought so. I miraculously salvaged the last of these at the height of retail congestion in the middle of Manchester on Black Friday weekend. It’s safe to say I didn’t need to put it on straight away.

Tip Pom Beanie Hat – Topshop, £14

I’m a proud owner of the black version, but do have a similar cream one from last year’s collection. Get both! Then you can alternate for your Zara scarf.

Super Soft Scarf – Topshop, £16

And for the times when I can’t decide between black and white? I sit on the fence.

Light Pink Super Soft Scarf – River Island, £15

It’s so reminiscent of the scarves mum would wrap you up in for school, that it’s kind of a classic.

Pom Bobble Hat – M&S, £15

The unwritten myth that M&S is for old girls is hereby bust. (Best hat I’ve bought in ages (no pun intended).

Faux Fur ‘Mink Tail’ Scarf – Next, £26

If I looked good in posh coats, I’d be all over this. But I’m not. But you might be, so I figured I’d include it since it might save a life. And it’s totally fur free so you can look fabulous and know that no furry friend was harmed for it!

Aber Tartan Blanket Scarf – Jack Wills, £49.50

Tartan has never been as cool as it is now – and the once hideous blood red is actually kinda cute nowadays. There are a few options to choose from if one isn’t as easy on the eyes as the others, though.
