First off, let’s just acknowledge the elephant in the room: Burberry ain’t cheap. I saw some dude whining on the internet about how everyone at his grocery store’s rocking the classic plaid and he’s all, “No way they can afford legit Burberry!” And yeah, he kinda has a point. Those cashmere babies are like, mortgage payments. (Okay, maybe not *mortgage* payments, but still!) So, budget is def a factor, right?
But let’s say you *do* have the cash. Then what? Well, you’ve got options, baby! The classic check is, well, *classic*. You can’t really go wrong with it. It’s like the little black dress of scarves. Goes with everything, screams “I have good taste (and money!),” you know? You can find those at Bloomingdales.com, and sometimes they have free shipping. Bonus!
But then there’s the silk scarves. I saw one they call the “Swan Embroidered Silk Scarf.” Sounds kinda fancy, right? It’s skinny – only 7cm wide – so it’s more of an accent piece. Probably not gonna keep you warm in the dead of winter unless you’re super bundled up. I dunno, personally, I’m not a huge fan of skinny scarves. They just always feel… awkward. Like I’m wearing a tie, but a really pathetic, flimsy tie. But hey, if you’re into it, go for it! Jomashop sells them, and apparently they do free shipping over $100.
Then there’s the *material*. Cashmere is the OG, right? So soft, so luxurious. But there are also wool blends and silk. Depends on what you’re looking for. Something to keep you warm? Go cashmere or wool. Something lightweight and pretty? Silk is your jam.
And then, then there’s the whole “where to buy it” debacle. The article I read mentioned 24S, saying they’re part of LVMH and try to bring the Parisian spirit to online shopping. Sounds a bit pretentious, tbh. But hey, if they have a good deal, who am I to judge? Probably worth checking out, right?
Honestly? I think the “right” Burberry scarf is the one YOU like best, and can afford. Don’t get too caught up in what’s trendy or what everyone else is wearing. If you love that swan embroidered thing, even if *I* think it looks like a sad tie, then rock it! And if you’re rocking a “inspired” Burberry scarf from, ahem, less reputable source, who am I to judge as long as you like it? Just… maybe don’t tell everyone it’s real. Because, ya know…awkward. Maybe that’s just me being judgy, though.
