Scarf coats à la Toteme were all the craze in recent times, but the trend has shifted and now cardigans with detachable scarves, aka scarf-igans, are emerging.
Ever a brand to stay ahead of the curve, M&S has launched this exact hybrid – the Air-Yarn Scarf-Neck Cardigan.
M&S’ Air-Yarn Scarf-Neck Cardigan is the humble long sleeve button up crew neck cardigan with a detachable scarf to sweep around your neck to keep any pesky draughts at bay.
Marks and Spencer Air-Yarn Scarf-Neck Cardigan
Spun from a super‑fine air‑yarn knit, this scarf‑neck cardigan delivers warmth without the bulk, making it ideal for layering. It comes in a regular fit and includes a detachable scarf that buttons neatly at the back of the neck. A classic crew neckline, button‑through front and crisp ribbed trims give the piece a polished, timeless look.
Buy Now for £36This design has been crafted from an acrylic, polyester, wool, and elastane blend, which is not itchy on the skin but ultra soft and chic.
It is a lightweight design, and a versatile one at that. The classic cardigan has been hugely popular in recent years, and while this design features a scarf detail that is appropriate for the colder months, it can be removed so you can wear the cardigan in the spring and summer seasons too.
The cardigan offers a regular fit, a crew neckline, and ribbed trim, as well as button front fastening, which you can fasten all the way to the top of the neck, partially button up or wear undone.
Whether you style over a white crew neck T-shirt to have a pop of the underlayer poking out, or over a lace cami top is up to you. You can also team with wide leg jeans and loafers, or trainers, for a casual, yet cosy, look, or a mini skirt and knee high boots.
The scarf-igan is available in two colours, including charcoal grey and olive green, both of which are available in sizes extra small to extra large.
Shoppers claim this cardigan runs true to size, however, if you prefer a louche fit, we would suggest you size up.
M&S customers are flocking to buy this trendy staple, and it has already garnered glowing five star reviews.
One customer, who goes under the title 1968Fi, shared: ‘Fantastic cardigan. Looks really smart and has a bit of weight to it. Super pleased with it.’
TerriJ added: ‘Nice quality and I like the detachable scarf, which can be worn in several ways. Jumper is shorter in the body than I’d like and a little boxy, but ok.’
A separate shopper praised: ‘This cardigan is both warm and smart, particularly in the charcoal grey. The scarf makes it rather special and stylish, though I found that it felt too heavy on my neck when buttoned onto the cardigan. I prefer to wear it draped to give a loose cowl neck look … I think this will be a great wardrobe staple as you can dress it up or leave off the scarf and wear with jeans and a T-shirt.’
Enough said. We’re adding to basket, now.
