Scarves are perhaps the most versatile piece of clothing. They can be worn throughout the year, put on as a layered accessory, or repurposed and styled as a top by some ambitious people who are afraid of nothing. They're available in almost all materials—cotton, satin, silk, wool, chiffon, and more, there's nothing not to love! So, here we have channelised our appreciation for this very specific accessory and rounded up a curation of scarves under INR 2,000 that you must have in your wardrobe throughout the year.
Scarves Under INR 2,000 That You Must Have In Your Wardrobe All Year Round
Wool Scarf
A good-quality scarf made from fine woollen yarns that folds into seamless drapes is lightweight and super soft and keeps you warm. It is quite resilient and can be used for years without stretching or fading out. Given the practicality and comfort, it is safe to say that woollen scarves are a great investment, especially during winter.
LBB's Pick: We have our eyes on this wool-blend scarf from M&S. The latte colour allows it to be worn over anything and we love how cosy it looks.
Linen Scarf
Linen scarves are not season-specific—they work their magic all year round. They are lightweight and thin, making them super easy to carry. A linen scarf goes well with both formal and casual fits and helps you elevate your look in no time.
LBB Pick: This Marks and Spencer scarf for its timeless striped pattern and raw edges which give it a rustic-inspired look.
Cotton Scarf
Classic and easy, a cotton scarf is a cool breathable fabric that is ideal for summer wear. We love how they can be paired with any outfit, tied in various styles, and perfectly stay in place. They are easily available in various patterns and colours and are pretty affordable but the only drawback is that they wrinkle easily.
LBB Pick: This cute checked scarf with small hearts from Twenty Dresses. We love how the beige and brown combo is giving dark academia vibes.
Silk Scarf
Silk scarves scream elegance and have been in fashion for as long as we can remember. They have a distinct lustre, are remarkably flowy, and are available in vibrant prints and colours. Since it’s a premium material, silk scarves are priced higher but they can be a stellar piece you wear on repeat as there is no limit to the number of ways you can style it in.
LBB Pick: This multi-colour stole made of fine silk, which is reversible and can be worn from either side.
Chiffon Scarf
Chiffon is a light, silky fabric with semi-mesh weaves which gives it a see-through appearance. Chiffon scarves are extremely thin and fold easily without any bulky drapes. They are available in bright prints and soft pastels, are super chic, and can add some much-needed charm to your outfits.
LBB Pick: We love this floral printed scarf that can elevate your basic t-shirt and jeans look and will also go well with an evening dress.
Acrylic Scarf
Acrylic scarves are the best synthetic alternatives to woollen scarves. Even though they don’t look as elegant as woollen scarves, they are perfect for casual fits, inexpensive, and ideal for people who might be allergic to wool. They are not as soft as woollen scarves but serve their purpose of keeping you warm and cosy.
LBB Pick: This scarf from H&M with a leopard-print and fringe detail along the sides.
Satin Scarf
Made from silk or polyester, satin is a glossy fabric that comes in various forms and weaves. Satin scarves are extremely soft, drape beautifully and are available in several colours. They give a regal touch to your outfits and are usually worn with evening wear or on special occasions.
LBB Pick: This satin scarf from H&M with a classic zebra print.
Cashmere Scarf
A cashmere scarf feels like a warm hug on chilly evenings but doesn't make you sweat on a hot summer afternoon, making it a versatile accessory for all kinds of weather. Cashmere scarves are a luxe option as they are priced really high and need extensive care and maintenance. But if you are looking for a long-term investment, they are totally worth it as they are lightweight, extremely soft with a silky feel, and do a great job of making you look fab!
LBB Pick: We love this scarf from Uniqlo for its premium-quality and deep purple colour.
