I got really into reading fabric labels after a rash from a cheap scarf. Now I only buy stuff I actually trust against my skin. These are the ones I keep reaching for.

Everyday Cotton Scarves

Cotton is my go-to because it breathes and I can toss it in the wash without worrying. These are the ones that live on my coat hooks year-round.

Cozy Winter Picks 🧤

When it's freezing I want something warm but not scratchy or full of weird synthetic coatings. These kept me warm without the itch.

Lightweight for Spring

I run cold even when it's warming up outside, so a light scarf is basically my security blanket from March through May.

Hair Scarves & Bandanas 💇‍♀️

Started wearing scarves in my hair during the pandemic and never stopped. Way easier than doing my hair honestly.
