Scroll your shopping – or Instagram – feed and there is one style that’s ubiquitous right now: the scarf coat. Whether the coat is wool, quilted or a cape style, fashion’s favourite outerwear silhouette favours an inbuilt XL scarf: kudos for practicality. We can trace the trend to Totême, the sleek and chic Scandi brand loved for its understated pieces that have a habit of going viral in the style sphere (see its sold out version here). Thankfully, the high street has come through with some noteworthy iterations – see Ted Baker and H&M for the best of the bunch.
