We've said it before and we'll say it again. Scarves are an absolute travel must! No matter what the destination scarves provide the perfect cover-up, added warmth and keep you cozy while on a plane -- we are never without a scarf of some sort, especially during the cooler months. Here are five new ways to wear your trusty scarf, whether it's a new purchase or an old favourite, to make sure it's on-trend this season.
The Thick Wool Knit Scarf
The ultimate in terms of cozy warmth, an extra plush, soft scarf wrapped around your neck is the equivalent to a cup of hot chocolate.
How To Wear It
Don't save your massive knit scarf for just your coat and the cold outdoors -- use it as an added accessory and keep it twisted around your neck all day long. Throw your hair up into a topknot, bun or messy ponytail to keep the focus on the scarf. No statement necklace needed.

The Cape Scarf
This is your ultimate, multi-purpose scarf. It will take you from casual to night out, and the extra large size means you have endless options. It is definitely worth the splurge for an investment piece.
How To Wear It
Let it drape over your shoulders and down your back for a cape effect (and double as a light-weight coat), or bring up the back part and let the volume hang over both shoulders for a chunky layering option with a wool blazer.

The Blanket Scarf
The bigger, the better -- and the more options you have. Pick up a huge scarf in on-trend plaid or check print and carry it with you everywhere.
How To Wear It
Turn it into a make-shift cape/coat by diagonally draping it over your shoulders, wrap it around your neck twice leaving the ends dangling for a chunky, oversized version of the classic scarf, or use it on the plane as a chic blanket.

The Printed Scarf
Everyone has one -- a gorgeous, light-weight scarf in a catchy print that looks smart for a dressy night out.
How To Wear It
Don't just wrap it around your neck, tie it into a knot at the neck (letting the end hang loose), then tuck them into the collar of your sweater or button up shirt. Or let the scarf hang off of both shoulders, keeping the length hanging down the front of your body, add a blazer over top and either button or belt it at the waist. Let the ends hang below the blazer.

The On-Trend Scarf
A fall must is a chunky, casual scarf with a retro print.
How To Wear It
Throwing this kind of scarf around you neck is the easy way to wear it, but think about using it as a layering piece. Wear it under sweaters and cardigans, letting the frayed ends poke out from underneath.
