10 Best Scarves for Men UK 2024 | Barbour, Paul Smith and More

No company quite encapsulates the British countryside quite like Barbour, a company that produces some wonderful clothes and accessories that perfectly balance luxury and practicality. Take this scarf, made from high-grade merino wool and cashmere. Both are sumptuous materials that are ideal for keeping you well-equipped in the cold seasons. 

The design is simple and subtle, but remains interesting enough that we can almost guarantee somebody is going to ask you about it. For these reasons, this timeless piece takes our number one spot! 

This paisley silk scarf is a piece that the Modfather himself, Paul Weller, would be proud of. The intricate design is beautiful, but it's the choice of colours that set this scarf alight with rich red and navy, accented by delicate baby blues and golds. 

This scarf is ideal for those that are keen followers fashion, and is suitable for a whole range of attires from smart-casual to formal. All you'll need is a sharp haircut and you'll look the part in no time. 

We don't know whether or not the designers of this scarf intentionally took inspiration from football scarves, but there's certainly a resemblance. Thankfully, they've chosen to forgo the primary colourways that come with a team's kit, instead opting for the classic black and white. 

Although we don't know the exact length, it's labelled as being oversized so you can expect plenty of material. So it's a good thing it's made of acrylic for the feeling of wool, without the price.

If you're looking for substance over style, then you're going to love this scarf from Beechfield. This scarf is designed to keep you warm, hence the use of highly insulating polyester 'Suprafleece'. 

A top choice for pairing with formal or casual attire, the understated fringe prevents it from looking too boring. It also comes in six different colours, should you want something with a little more flavour than plain black. 

This scarf is made from two layers of silk, giving it a little more weight than other similar designs. This makes it less likely to come undone, regardless of your chosen knot, which can be a problem with silk scarves. 

Whether you plan on wearing it styled as a cravat, or maybe even loose over an open jacket and shirt, this one is certainly going to earn you some style points. 

Is there a more iconic duo than Paul Smith and stripes? We think not! You'll find Smith's signature stripes on everything from wallets to suits, and even scarves. With each reiteration, this iconic design looks better than before, blending the past and future of fashion all in one. 

The scarf is made from 100% wool with fine tasselled ends. This particular one clocks in at the top end when it comes to length, which means there's plenty to get wrapped up in. It'll cost you, but sometimes it's worth it for the style. 

Heritage Traditions are a company that is run by the people for the people. Based up in Glasgow, these folks know a thing or two about nippy weather, so you can trust that their scarves are going to battle the biting cold when you need them too. 

The scarves are available in a wide variety of different colours, all of which come in a classic Scottish tartan plaid. The only problem is that there are so many colours, you might struggle to choose the one you want! 

Who doesn't love value for money? With this economical option from Sew Elegant, you not only get a great price, but you also get two designs rolled into one. The reversible scarf gives you the option of polka dots or stripes, both of which are presented in a casual navy and grey colourway. 

Both patterns are simple enough to be worn with practically any attire, so you don't have to worry about clashing with this. It's worth mentioning that some reviewers found the colour to be a little darker than initially expected, so keep that in mind. 

Tommy Hilfiger was founded in 1985, and have gone on to become one of the world's leading lifestyle brands. It's easy to see why when you look at their roster of clothing and accessories. Like this scarf, for example. 

We love the classic Hilfiger red, white and blue used in this attractive striped design. Even better, it's made from warm acrylic wool, making it perfect for the colder seasons. The only issue is that it's hand wash only, so be careful when you're supping on the mulled wine! 

The first option in our ranking is this blanket scarf from ASOS Design. This is probably the most versatile scarf out there as the plain black colour will match with practically anything. So if you're looking for a simple day-to-day option, you could do much worse than this. 

Furthermore, the design uses traditional knit wool, so you know it's going to keep you toasty on those frosty mornings. However, it is very large and bulky, hence the name 'blanket'.
