Layering is one of the things I look forward to most once the autumn/winter season hits, but it can be a hassle. On top of the usual essentials, remembering hats, scarves, and gloves is just another thing to add to the mental load. Last year, I left a scarf in a gym locker, lost a mitten on a bus journey, and my favourite bobble hat disappeared without a trace during a visit to a museum.
Thankfully, the world of fashion has found an answer to my wintery woes, as an unexpected but brilliantly practical piece is suddenly filling the knitwear aisles across a range of brands, enter the ‘scarfigan’. I promise I haven’t made the term up – it’s a real thing and as the name might suggest, it's a cardigan with a scarf attached. It’s a simple yet clever idea that sees cardigans and sweaters with added scarf attachments, so you can easily loop the added fabric around your neck.
