It changes the look of a coat, enhances a basic outfit and can be seen everywhere, from fashion shows to mainstream brands. Good news: it doesn’t cost much and is easily found in stores.
When temperatures drop, we tend to dress quickly and practically. Jeans, sweater, coat, scarf and we go out. However, each season brings its share of details capable of reviving a winter look that is a little too demure. This year, one accessory is clearly standing out, to the point of becoming the fashion signature of the cold season.
For several months, fashion has been putting the emphasis back on rich, visible materials that give relief. We talk a lot about textures, superpositions, contrasts. In this context, certain accessories take on more importance than the clothes themselves. They catch the eye, structure an outfit and immediately make it more dressy, even with basics.
Historically, this accessory has always been associated with a certain idea of luxury. It was already worn in Antiquity as a symbol of power, before becoming very popular in Europe and then in the United States. For a long time, he remained confined to very dressy, even ceremonial looks. Today, fashion has completely dusted it off.
For example, Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection largely participated in this comeback. On the catwalk, the accessory is shown worn in different ways, sometimes around the neck, sometimes simply placed on the shoulders. Celebrities, too, took advantage of it without delay. Among others, Kim Kardashian recently opted for a very marked mix of materials during an evening in Aspen, combining velvet, leather and fur. In short, the most luxurious accessory of winter is not an expensive bag or a spectacular coat, but the faux fur scarf.
Besides, the real surprise this season comes from its price. This accessory, long associated with very expensive pieces, is now offered at low prices in many brands. It can be found in dark brown for 10.39 euros at Vib’s, in ecru beige for 17.99 euros at Monoprix or in a fluffy beige or leopard print version for 19.99 euros at H&M. A good way to follow the trend without breaking the bank.
