The Chicest It Girls in Paris, Germany, and NYC Are Wearing This Winter Trend With Jeans and Trousers

If you’re wondering what the It girls across the U.S. and Europe are coveting and wearing in November, the answer is one very specific accessory: a faux-fur scarf or stole. This cold-weather staple has quickly become the easiest, most accessible way to update an outfit without a major investment.

From Berlin to Paris to New York, fashion people are styling this plush accessory in all sorts of ways: wrapped snugly around the neck, casually draped over the shoulders, carried by hand, or tossed across a tote bag. They’re even choosing different shades, from chocolate brown to ivory and black. But the color doesn’t matter—each exudes “old-money” energy and signals that the person wearing it “knows what they’re doing.” Plus, it’s become the style hack that insiders use to refresh their go-to winter outfits and trick their minds into thinking they’re not wearing the same black jacket over and over.
