The absolute worst part about winter? Having to leave your super-cozy bed in the morning, fluffy blankets and all. But what if we told you that there’s a socially acceptable way to leave the house with a teeny little duvet wrapped around your neck? Well, there is—and it’s called the puffer scarf.
Less like your down jacket and more like your favorite feather-filled bedtime necessity, this scarf is just a long strip of quilted fabric that features a handy, stay-in-place design feature. Most of these cold-weather styles include a little keyhole on one side through which you thread the other side of your scarf. Unlike your go-to wool or cashmere iterations, these guys won’t unwind during a strong gust of wind or get stuck in the revolving door while you’re out on a holiday shopping spree.
Yeah, you might be surprised at just how much you’ll love a puffy, down-filled scarf. Here, shop eight of our favorite cold-weather must-haves.
