Why a faux fur scarf is the easiest way to look luxe
A faux fur scarf adds instant Old Hollywood glamour to whatever you're already wearing. Throw one over a wool coat, a leather jacket or even a hoodie, and the whole outfit looks more expensive.
It's also the easiest way to try the faux fur trend without committing to a full coat. You get the plush texture and warmth in one piece you can wear with everything.
Below, we cover what to look for in a faux fur scarf, the Azalea Wang STARLET scarf in every color, and seven ways to wear yours all winter.
What to look for in a faux fur scarf
A few details separate a faux fur scarf that looks luxe from one that looks like a costume. Check these four before you buy.
- The volume. A dense, plush pile looks richer than thin, flat fur. Run your hand through it: it should spring back.
- The length. A long scarf gives you options, from draping it over your shoulders to wrapping it twice around your neck. Shorter collars are easier but less versatile.
- The lining. A soft lining, like microsuede, feels better against your skin and helps the scarf drape smoothly.
- The color. Black and brown work with almost every coat. White and colors like olive turn the scarf into the statement.

7 ways to style a faux fur scarf
- Over a wool coat. Drape it over the shoulders of a camel or gray coat for an instant upgrade on your everyday outerwear.
- With a leather jacket. Plush fur and sleek leather are a perfect contrast. Wrap the scarf once and let the ends hang.
- With a little black dress. For holiday parties, drape the scarf like a stole over a black dress and heels.
- With jeans and a sweater. Pair a brown or olive scarf with a cream knit and straight-leg jeans for a cozy daytime look.
- With a matching faux fur bag. Coordinate your scarf with a faux fur handbag, like the CONFIDANTE, for a head-to-toe fur moment.
- Over a hoodie. Contrast a casual hoodie and joggers with a glam scarf for an easy high-low look.
- With a contrasting faux fur coat. If you're layering fur on fur, choose a different color or texture so the scarf still stands out, like white over an olive coat.
Faux fur scarf FAQ
Are faux fur scarves warm? Yes. A dense, lined faux fur scarf traps heat well, and wrapping a long scarf twice around your neck adds even more warmth.
How do you wear a long faux fur scarf? Drape it over both shoulders like a stole, wrap it once with the ends hanging in front, or loop it twice for a cozy, voluminous look.
Can you wear a faux fur scarf with a faux fur coat? Yes. Choose a contrasting color or a different texture so the scarf stays visible instead of blending in.
How do I care for a faux fur scarf? Follow the care label. In general, spot clean, avoid high heat, and gently brush the fur to keep it fluffy. Store it flat or hanging so it doesn't get crushed.
