A scarf is a winter essential that often gets overlooked when planning an outfit, with most of us just grabbing any old one before we leave the house. However, a great scarf can elevate even the most basic outfit, which is why this year we're all about adding a statement scarf to our look. One that's caught our eye is Marks and Spencer's Striped Scarf with Wool , available for £25.
It's warm, cosy, and gives off serious Acne Studios vibes without the hefty price tag.

Both scarves feature chunky fringe on the end, although the Acne Studios one has a check pattern, while M&S opted for a striped print with a soft ombre effect.
The Marks and Spencer Striped Scarf is made with a 10% wool composition, ensuring it provides plenty of warmth even in the coldest temperatures. The acrylic and polyester blend also keeps it soft, rather than scratchy or itchy, so you can wear it all day without feeling irritated. It's also nicely sized, measuring 37cm wide and 212cm long, giving you plenty of material to wrap around your neck several times for that extra cosy feel.
The scarf is brand new to the M&S website and has only racked up one review so far. However, the sole reviewer was clearly smitten with their purchase, giving it a perfect five-star rating and sharing: "Matches casual and business style. Very comfy and nice colour.
Everyone I know noticed it straight away and complimented it." If you're on the hunt for a check pattern that echoes the Acne Studios vibe, M&S also has the £17.50 Checked Scarf available in blue and tan or red and yellow hues.
Although lacking the warm wool in its composition, it's an excellent pick for those watching their pennies this season. Meanwhile, ASOS offers up a cosy gem with the Pieces Super Soft Tassel Scarf In Calming Blue Check for £18, featuring fringed ends and a variety of colourways. For a more subdued option, White Stuff's Benny Brushed Scarf at £39 is your go-to, boasting navy and dark green check or a striking green pattern, crafted from recycled polyester and finished with fringing and a discreet WS monogram, reports the Mirror .
