Scarves: Winter’s Must-Have Accessory

The Circle Scarf
A “circle,” or “loop” scarf, as the names suggest, is a seamless, tubular version of the traditional straight line design and is arguably the trendiest shape of the season. Swoop the loop over your head and you’re done—no twists and turns required. American Eagle Outfitters at the Warwick mall and Providence Place stocks a chunky cable knit loop scarf in both olive and gray for a budget friendly $34.50. American Apparel on Weybosset Street in Providence has a few versions, including a unisex super sheer circle scarf ($37.00) with the versatility to hang loosely around the neck, draped over the head for a hood effect or wrapped around the shoulders for a more polished look.
Men’s Muffler
Draped over a men’s black or camel wool top coat, the classic men’s muffler simultaneously adds a splash of color, warmth and sophistication. Marc Streisand, owner of Marc Allen Fine Clothiers on South Main Street in Providence, says the look is seen on men all over Europe and simply adds style to any ensemble, whether cashmere, wool or silk. A crisp white version is timeless, while Scottish plaids, check or houndstooth designs always be de rigueur.
Elegant and Eclectic
