If you’ve been forced to leave your apartment in the last few days, you’ve probably realized it’s cold enough to freeze the freckles off a Bonaduce. Someone must have really pissed off Mother Nature for her to throw us all into a deep freeze and for the foreseeable future, heavy support is necessary to make it out alive.

This thick knit “infinity” scarf from Oak is just what the elements call for. Layer it over a coat or wrap it around a few times to create in impenetrable barrier of warmth. When the tundra threatens to leave your ears victim to frostbite, throw it over your head as a hood for a half-Jedi, half-Grace Jones look. Besides being practical, it also spot-on with the season’s trends of knits bulky enough to swaddle the entire cast of Celebrity Fit Club. ––Adrien Field
