It’s that time of year again! The leaves are changing color, the air is getting crisp, and scarves are returning to our wardrobe rotation.
But how many scarves should a woman own? One for every day of the week? One for every outfit?
In fact, there are several factors to consider when building your scarf collection, such as the climate you live in, the colors and patterns you like to wear, and how often you wear scarves.
But the factors we’re most interested in are your closets: how many different types of outfits do you have, and how often do you wear each one?
Now, let’s check out how many scarves you should have in your wardrobe based on the number of outfits you wear in a week!
Check the Number of Your Winter Coats
Of course, you can pair your scarves with any outfit. But if you want to get the most use out of them, it’s best to start with your winter coats.
How many different types of winter coats do you have in your closet? One? Two? Three?
Depending on your climate, you might only wear a coat a few times per week.
If you have one coat, we recommend having three scarves. This way, you can mix and match the scarves with different outfits to create new looks.
And you can multiply that number by the number of coats you have! So if you have two coats, you should have six scarves.
Are They for Different Occasions?
A woman needs enough scarves to complete her desired winter looks. If you want to be able to mix and match scarves with different outfits, then you’ll need at least a few.
But it’s also important to have options for different occasions. A casual scarf for running errands might not be the best choice for a formal dinner party.
So based your outfits for different occasions, you need different style of scarves. You might want a long, flowy scarf for a date night and a thick, warm scarf for walking the dog.
The key is having enough scarves to create the looks you want without having too many that they become overwhelming.
What’s the Style of Your Winter Coat?
Are you a trench coat lover or pursuing extreme warmth with down jackets? The style of your winter coat also helps decide how many and the texture of the scarves you need.
If you wear a casual style of coat, such as a bomber jacket or denim jacket, you can get away with having fewer scarves. One waffle scarf might be all you need!
On the other hand, if you tend to wear more formal coats, such as wool pea coats or cashmere overcoats, you might want to have a few different scarves to choose from.
A silk scarf and a chunky knit scarf would be a good combination.
And Finally, What About the Color of Your Winter Coats?
Your winter coat color can also help you decide how many scarves to have in your collection.
If you tend to wear neutral-colored coats, such as black, white, or gray, you’ll want to have a few different scarves to add color and personality to your look.
On the other hand, a pop-up color like red or yellow doesn’t need as many scarves to make a statement.
