You can never have too many blankets; and since scarves offer a socially acceptable way of wearing a blanket in public, you can never have too many scarves either. Considering the record-breaking low temperatures our planet is currently enduring, now is an especially relevant moment to check in with your immediate scarf count—and multiply it.

Conveniently, we combed the internet for ten solid ideas you can mull over for your repertoire (or one-click buy and return later if you change your mind). Like a superhero cape with practical powers, these throw-on-and-go accessories insulate warmth where you need it most (your handsome head), convert to a de facto blanket during holiday travel, and most importantly, they give you a chance to say something about your personal style.

If you want your scarf to literally say something, you’re in luck, because the logomania look is huge right now. Thumb ahead to scope out our most coveted picks among the ‘90s-inspired lot, along with a few other on-trend options, then bookmark your favorites and shop accordingly.
