As temperatures plummet, and hibernation becomes a tempting alternative, New Yorkers are faced with a dilemma: To be frumpy or to be freezing?
Puffy jackets, long underwear and hat hair may not turn heads, but there is an answer to our frost-bitten funk: Scarves. From cashmere pashminas to silk ascots and woolen shawls, sidewalks are teeming with stylish neckwear. Turns out to find out where to buy, you just have to ask.

“I’m really into the ’80s, and the whole brown/yellow thing.”
