My fave blanket scarf (via my Instagram @beautyforbloggers)
‘Tis the season for blanket scarves! I picked up a couple last year, and am so glad they’re on-trend this year because they’re everywhere—it’s definitely going to be the “it” scarf for 2016. If you don’t have one (or ten) of these in your closet, you’re missing out. A good blanket scarf gives instant warmth, fits over and under your coat, and is large enough to serve as a shawl or hoodie at a moment’s notice. Plus, it’s big enough to be a blanket (duh) if you’re stuck outside in the freezing cold.
My blanket scarf is on heavy rotation now that it’s chilly out. I can’t wait to add a few more to my growing collection.
Shop my favorite picks for blanket scarves below. All of these scarves are under $35, and they’re perfect to add to your holiday wish list.
The Blanket Poncho
Blanket Poncho, AEO Factory Store, $34.99 – This soft-woven, open-front Southwestern print poncho offers similar versatility to the blanket scarf but covers a much broader area of the body. It’s a great throw for warmer nights or when vacationing—just layer over a turtleneck with jeans for a chic, effortless look.
