The infinity scarf has become such a pivotal accessory in my designs over the years.
Not only are they endlessly stylish and chic, but they allow me to play with drape, texture, pattern and color in unexpected ways.
As the temperatures drop, infinity scarves are the perfect way to embrace the changing weather fashionably.
They add instant flair to any ensemble while keeping your neck warm and cozy.
I hope these ideas inspire you to wrap up with confidence this season:

Layering Piece – Thermal shirt or cami, corduroy pants, blazer and scarf knotted at the neck
For chilly fall days where multiple layers are needed, start with a cozy base of a long-sleeved thermal shirt or camisole.
Ensure it’s a tight fit that won’t bunch underneath outer layers.
