    Learn More About Scarves & Wraps

    A scarf is generally worn around the neck, while a wrap or shawl can also be worn over the shoulders and arms. When the weather’s chilly outside, scarves and wraps are excellent accessories to help keep you warm. Scarves don’t typically have a closure, but a wrap may include snaps or buttons to help it stay securely closed. Explore the shops on Etsy to find custom scarves, gorgeous handmade wraps, and much more to keep you toasty and in style.

    From soft wool scarves to cozy knit shawls, here are a few types of scarves and wraps, and the best ways to wear them.


    • Infinity scarves: These scarves are made of one continuous piece of fabric without an opening, which is what gives them their unique “infinity” shape when worn. Wrap an infinity scarf around your neck twice to create its iconic layered, looped look.
    • Hair scarves: Use a hair scarf or small handkerchiefs to make a cute ponytail or to tie your hair up and keep it out of your face. Most hair or head scarves for women and men are smaller and made of a lighter-weight material than traditional winter scarves.
    • Chunky scarves: Specially made for cold weather, these scarves are crafted of thick, heavy materials like wool or a knit sweater-like fabric to keep you extra warm and cozy.
    • Snoods: This type of winter accessory doubles as a cozy hood and scarf in one. These scarves are made in a large size so you can wrap them around your neck and over your head on cold days.
    • Shawls: This type of oversized scarf is wrapped around the shoulders and arms to keep you nice and warm. Use unique shawl pins to add some style and keep it securely closed.
