I have carried a scarf in my bag on every trip for more than 15 years, from budget viscose ones picked up in European markets to the cashmere pieces Laurence and I travel with now. The right one keeps your neck warm on a cold flight, covers your shoulders at a religious site, works as a sun cover, and dresses up a plain outfit, all while folding down small enough to disappear in your daypack.

If you are deciding between a scarf and a wrap, here is the short version. Choose a scarf when you mainly want neck warmth, a fashion layer, and something that packs down small. A wrap makes more sense when you want a piece big enough to double as an airplane blanket or shoulder cover. We cover those in our guide to the best travel wraps for women, but for most travelers a scarf is the more packable everyday pick.

We review 12 scarves below, arranged roughly from budget to luxury, and most readers can decide by fabric. For warm-weather trips, reach for a lightweight silk or organic cotton scarf. For cold-weather warmth that lasts for years, pick Irish wool like the Aran Crafts merino cable knit. And for something soft and light that works in almost any season, the Ovcio Featherlight cashmere is the one I reach for most.

8 Things to Consider when Purchasing a Scarf for Travel

If you are not sure what kind of scarf you want, there are a number of factors to can consider when choosing a scarf for travel. These include the size, thickness, fabric, washability, and price of the scarf. It is also important to consider how versatile the scarf would be and how often you’ll use it while you are traveling.

The guide below includes all the important factors to consider when choosing the perfect travel scarf for you.

Weight & Thickness

This could be the most important point to consider when looking into buying a scarf for travel, as it will greatly depend on the time of year you plan to travel and the level of warmth you wish to achieve. The overall thickness of the scarf will help determine how warm it is, so it is important to think about when and where you want to use it.

Lightweight travel scarves are much better for the spring and summer months, during the warm weather, while heavyweight scarves are better for cold weather and winter destinations.

If you are looking for a scarf for travel that will work well year round, we recommend taking a look at lightweight and medium weight scarves.

Take into consideration that lighter scarves can be easier to stuff in a day bag or purse, whereas it is going to be more difficult to stuff a heavy wool pashmina into your day bag.

Fabric

There are many different types of fabric to choose from when purchasing a travel scarf. Some of the common fabrics used to manufacture scarves include wool, cotton, acrylic, viscose, polyester, cashmere, and silk. Each fabric type has its pros and cons, and some are better for different seasons.

A scarf is going to wrapped around your neck and touching your skin, so if you have sensitive skin you might want to look for something made of a natural fabric. These include cotton, linen, cashmere, and silk. Although note that even natural fabrics, like wool, can cause irritation.

For people with skin conditions like eczema (like myself), certain fabrics, particularly wool and polyester, can be irritating. Cotton and silk are often recommended for those with really sensitive skin or skin conditions.

But there are a number of synthetic, semi-synthetic, and blend options out there. These are often made to imitate the look and feel of natural fabrics such as wool or silk. Some fabrics like modal and viscose are manufactured from natural materials. These can still make great scarves and are often sold at a much lower price point than those made of natural fabrics.

If you are looking for a vegan-friendly scarf, you have both natural and synthetic fabric options. These include cotton, polyester, wood-based fibers (modal, viscose, lyocell, rayon, bamboo), linen, and acrylic fabrics. You’ll just want to also check that any dyes used are also vegan (typically yes)

Some scarves may be described as being made of “synthetic wool”, “vegetable cashmere”, or “vegan silk”, but these aren’t actual fabrics, obviously, as neither real wool nor silk are vegan, so these descriptors are not very helpful. So be sure to check the label.

Scarf fabrics that are great for keeping you warm and retaining heat include wool, cashmere, fleece (made from polyester), and acrylic fabrics.

For warm weather, you’ll want to look for scarves that have a lighter weave and are not so heavy. Some fabrics that lend themselves well to scarves for spring and summer are those made of cotton, linen, silk, satin, jersey, microfiber, and modal.

All fabrics have their pros and cons, so it is good to think about what type of fabric you’d prefer for a scarf. For example, if you hate wrinkles, you might want to avoid linen and thin cotton scarves, which are more prone to wrinkling.

Size

For size and dimensions, it’s important to pay attention to both the width and length of the scarf.

Many people shopping for scarves online don’t pay a lot of attention to the posted dimensions of a scarf, so can often be surprised by how wide, thin, or long their scarf is when it arrives. The way it is draped over the model in online photos may not give you the best idea of its dimensions. So best to think about the size dimensions before you buy!

We recommend measuring an existing scarf you already own and love, and compare potential scarves to those dimensions so you have a good idea of what to expect.

Consider if you want a classic rectangular scarf (most styles) or a square one (more common with silk and satin scarves). Or do you prefer an infinity scarf, a scarf made from a loop or circle of fabric that has been sewn together? How many times do you want to wrap it around your neck?

Do you want to be able to use if for other things like a travel wrap, shawl, hijab, sarong, or blanket, etc. If so, consider what size scarf is going to best suit your needs.

Washability

It is important to consider how you plan to wash your new scarf. Can the travel scarf be machine washed? Is the scarf hand wash or dry clean only?

If you are setting off on longer-term travel, this may be something you may want to especially consider if you plan to do laundry while traveling.

More delicate fabrics such as silk and cashmere can very easily shrink or become damaged without proper care. So be sure to check the care instructions for the scarf before purchase to make sure you can care for it properly.

Country of Origin

One of the many reasons why we love to shop online, is because you instantly have access to shops, designers and suppliers from across the globe, providing products that you may never have had an opportunity to see or buy in person. It can also give you the chance to support smaller stores and artists who are working and creating beautiful products from their own homes.

In some cases, the country of origin can be an indicator of quality but bear in mind that this is not always the case. Just a piece of information to keep in mind as quality control standards can vary a lot.

Also do pay attention from where the item ships, especially if you need to receive it rather quickly, as international orders can take a while to reach certain parts of the world. Customs and tax duties may also apply.

If you want to shop more locally, you can easily find something manufactured in your own country or a nearby country. In the list below we have purposefully included scarves designed and manufactured in a number of countries, including the United States, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom, and China, among others.

If you are looking for something made in your own country and don’t see one on our list, we recommend shopping at local stores or do a search here on Etsy for online shops selling handmade scarves in your country.

If you are looking for gifts for travelers, we have a guide to travel gifts made in the USA and a guide to travel gifts made in the UK.

Price

Price is going to likely be a major deciding factor in what scarf you choose. We have included a range of scarves in this list to suit your budget. We have even arranged them in terms of price from the least expensive to the most expensive.

We start with scarves priced at around USD $20 and go up to over USD $400, with several good options under $50. So you are sure to find something that works for you.

The good news is you don’t need to spend a lot to get a good travel scarf. The trick is to find the best quality scarf that fits your needs within your budget. That’s why we’ve included so many different options for you to explore below.

Be aware that there are a lot of scarves with fake reviews on Amazon and other online marketplaces, including many of those that are “top-rated”. So just be wary and read through lots of reviews, ideally those with photos, to get a feel for what is real.

Versatility

The best travel scarf is versatile and will work across a number of situations. Consider whether or not the scarf can be used at different times of the day, in different climates, and for different purposes.

Can the scarf work well for day time and evening? Will it work for casual and more formal situations? Will it work well with most of your travel clothing?

If you are looking for something that will work well with most of your wardrobe, you might consider something in a solid neutral color like black, tan, gray, ivory, or navy.

Can it be worn for cold weather? Warm weather? Will it work for most of the places you regularly travel? I’d personally recommend having one great scarf that works well in warm and hot weather and one that works well for you in cool and cold weather situations.

Some scarves designed for travel may have extra features like a hidden pocket to store valuables or a pouch to store earbuds. Are these features you want in a scarf or are they things you want to avoid?

Can it be worn in different ways other than just around your neck as a scarf? For example, a versatile scarf might also work as a travel wrap, shawl, blanket, hijab, head scarf, poncho, sarong, etc.

For those looking for more oversized scarves that can also be used as wraps or shawls, we recommend also checking out our guide to the best travel wraps for women.

One scarf can’t work in every situation, but if you can get one that will accompany you on most of your travels, then you are getting more bang for your buck.

Practicality

Here’s where you need to be honest with yourself when purchasing a travel scarf. You may have found a beautiful scarf that you love, but is it practical?

For example, I have a beautiful little silk printed scarf I purchased many years ago at a vintage store. I love the look of it, but I almost never wear it. It is too small and lightweight to provide warmth (decorative only), it wrinkles easily, and the pattern and colors make it difficult to coordinate well with a lot of my clothing.

Some questions you might want to ask yourself:

Does it fit in your day bag easily? Will you wear it a lot? Does it work in more than one season or climate? Does it work well with the clothes you normally travel with? Will you wear it at home, work, and travel? Is it durable? Is it easy to clean?

If you find yourself answering no to a lot of the above, it may not be the best travel scarf for you.

We link to current pricing for each scarf in the individual reviews below.

1. Turtle Fur Cold Weather Double-layered Neck Gaiter

Best for: Active winter travel and outdoor sports

If you are headed to a cold weather destination and plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, a Turtle Fur neck warmer is worth a look. This isn’t really a scarf, but for active winter travel it can be more useful than one. It is a classic double-layer fleece neck warmer that the Vermont company has been making since 1982.

Unlike a traditional scarf, you don’t wrap it. The ends are sewn together, so you just slip it over your head and it sits like a turtleneck around your neck. You can keep it down at the neck or pull it up to cover your chin and mouth. Two layers of fleece trap the heat.

It is a popular winter accessory for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or just taking a stroll when the temperatures drop. Just note that if you don’t like the close feeling of a turtleneck or neck gaiter, this might not be the product for you.

It is 100% acrylic fleece and the one-size-fits-all version measures about 9.5 inches square (24 cm) when laid flat. Turtle Fur is an American company based in Vermont and this product is currently made in Mexico. You can machine wash it cold and tumble dry, but I’d be as gentle as possible with both to keep it from pilling.

2. Wander Agio Warm Blanket Scarf

Best for: A budget blanket scarf that doubles as a travel blanket

If you want one big, cozy scarf that can double as a light blanket on a cold flight or a chilly evening, a square blanket scarf like this Wander Agio is a good budget option. It is the only true blanket-style pick on this list, so it earns its place for anyone specifically after a travel blanket scarf rather than a slim neck scarf.

It is a large 55-inch (140 cm) square that you can fold into a triangle and loop around your neck, drape over your shoulders, or spread across your lap. There are more than 20 plaid and stripe patterns to choose from, so it is easy to find one that works with a neutral travel wardrobe.

The fabric is a soft, brushed synthetic weave that feels warm without much weight. It does vary a little by color and pattern, so check the specific listing for the shade you want before you buy. Cold machine wash is recommended.

3. Mulberry Silk Travel Scarf

Best for: A lightweight silk scarf for warm weather

Silk is one of the best fabrics for warm-weather travel. It is light, breathable, and packs down to almost nothing, yet still adds a touch of warmth in an air-conditioned museum or a cool evening. This 100% mulberry silk scarf is an affordable way into real silk.

It measures about 70 x 26 inches (178 x 66 cm), so it is long enough to wrap a couple of times or drape loosely, and it comes in a range of printed patterns. Mulberry silk is the smoother, more even grade of silk, which is why it feels soft rather than papery even at this price.

As with any silk, hand wash it cold or have it dry cleaned rather than putting it through the machine. It is a good pick if you want the feel and drape of silk without a designer price tag.

4. Zero Grid Infinity Scarf with Hidden Pockets

Best for: Keeping valuables close while you travel

If you like the idea of keeping your passport, phone, or a bit of cash tucked against your body rather than in a bag, an infinity scarf with a hidden zipper pocket is a clever option. The Zero Grid loops around your neck and has a concealed zip pocket sewn into the loop.

It measures about 59 x 27.5 inches (150 x 70 cm) as a loop and is made from a soft rayon, polyester, and spandex blend that drapes well and resists wrinkles, which is handy when it has been stuffed in a carry-on. It is machine washable, unlike most of the more delicate scarves on this list.

One note on hidden-pocket scarves in general: they work best for light, flat items like cards, cash, and a key. A heavy phone will pull the loop down and show where the pocket is, so treat it as a discreet spot for a few essentials rather than a full money belt.

5. Aran Crafts Irish Heavyweight Cable Knit Scarf

Best for: Heavyweight winter warmth with Irish heritage

If you are looking for a chunky knit scarf for cold weather, this might be one to consider. This Irish scarf is made of heavyweight knit merino wool and is perfect for keeping your neck warm and toasty.

This chunky knitted Irish scarf is designed to keep you warm and cozy while also looking stylish. The merino wool provides extra softness over regular wool scarves.

This scarf is produced by Aran Crafts in Monasterevin, Ireland, which was established in 1957. The scarf is made of 100% merino wool. The knit scarf measures 64 inches in length and 10 inches in width (162 cm x 25 cm), so it is a bit shorter than some other scarves out there.

To wash the scarf, you will want to hand wash it gently and lay flat to dry.

6. John Hanly & Co Plaid Irish Wool Scarf

Best for: Classic plaid patterns in Irish lambswool

These high-quality plaid wool scarves are sold by Biddy Murphy and are made by one of Ireland’s most respected weavers, with a classic style. Their patterns look great on both men and women.

The scarf is made with 100% Irish lambswool to keep your neck warm, and is best suited for cool and cold weather wear. These scarves are woven to last for many years.

The scarf is made by Irish weavers John Hanly & Co, who have been crafting quality woven products at their mills since 1893. The scarves are made in County Tipperary in Ireland. They offer several plaid patterns and colors.

This lambswool Irish scarf is extra long, measuring 63 inches long and 12 inches wide (160 cm x 30 cm) with an additional 4 inches of fringe on the ends. Note that it is recommended that the scarf be dry cleaned only.

Price: Check price on Amazon

7. zestt Dreamsoft Organic Cotton Travel Scarf

Best for: Easy-care organic cotton for year-round travel

If you want a soft, easy-care scarf in a natural fabric that isn’t wool or silk, organic cotton is a great middle ground, and the zestt Dreamsoft is one of the nicest. It is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, which means the cotton is grown and processed to a recognized organic standard.

It is a generous 28 x 78 inches (71 x 198 cm), which gives you plenty of ways to wear it, from a looped neck scarf to a light shoulder wrap on a plane. zestt calls it their best-selling scarf, and it has thousands of positive reviews to back that up.

Unlike cashmere or silk, it is low-maintenance: machine wash cold and tumble dry low. That makes it a good choice for longer trips where you would rather not hand wash anything.

Price: Check price on Amazon

8. Ovcio Featherlight Cashmere Scarf

Best for: Lightweight year-round cashmere

The Ovcio cashmere scarves are all-natural, lightweight, super warm, and really soft. The featherlight version is exactly what it sounds like: almost sheer and very light, but it still adds a little warmth, which makes it perfect for all-season travel.

The cashmere scarf is a generous size at 87 inches long and 39 inches wide (220 cm x 90 cm), so it could also be used as a light shawl or head covering. It looks great with both casual and formal wear.

The scarves are made of 100% cashmere. They are designed in California and manufactured in Inner Mongolia, China. To care for these scarves, you will want to hand wash them and lay them flat to dry, or have them dry cleaned. Each one comes with a handy travel pouch as well as a gift box, so it makes a great gift too.

I own two of these featherlight scarves and they are perfect if you are looking for a cashmere scarf that is lightweight and can be worn year round. It takes up little room in your luggage and is easy to carry around in a day bag.

9. Dalle Piane Cashmere Scarf

Best for: Affordable Italian-made cashmere

If you have a larger budget, you might consider investing in a cashmere scarf such as this one. Dalle Piane Cashmere was created by the Dondini family, who have handed down the Italian textile company from father to son for three generations.

These high-quality scarves are available in a large array of solid colors. They are soft and warm and great for keeping you cozy when traveling. Just note that, as with anything cashmere, it is more delicate than most other fabrics.

The knitted cashmere scarves are designed and made in Italy of 100% cashmere. This scarf measures 78.75 inches in length and 15 inches in width (200 cm x 38 cm). It can be hand washed or dry cleaned. The purchase comes with a gift box option if you are planning to buy a scarf as a gift.

Price: Check price on Amazon

10. Chan Luu Cashmere & Silk Scarf

Best for: A luxurious cashmere-silk blend for year-round travel

For a scarf that feels special without being heavy, a cashmere and silk blend is hard to beat. The cashmere brings warmth and softness, the silk adds a subtle sheen and helps it drape, and together they make a scarf light enough for year-round travel. Chan Luu has made this cashmere-silk scarf in the same style for years.

It is made from 70% cashmere and 30% silk, woven in Inner Mongolia, and measures about 62 inches by 58 inches (157 cm x 147 cm) with a twisted fringe trim. It comes in a wide range of colors, from soft neutrals to brighter shades, so it works as both an everyday layer and a dressier accessory. It is dry clean only, as you would expect from a blend like this.

Price: Check price on Amazon

11. Ovcio Regular Cashmere Scarf

Best for: Warm woven cashmere for cool and cold weather

Similar to the featherlight Ovcio scarf mentioned earlier, these beautiful cashmere scarves are also all-natural and soft, but this thicker, heavier option provides more warmth.

This is a great scarf to have when heading to cool or cold weather destinations. It can also work as a light shawl. The scarves come in over a dozen colors, including solids, two-tones, and plaids, and have fringes at the ends.

This scarf is made of 100% cashmere that has been woven. It was designed in California, USA, and made in Inner Mongolia, China. The scarf is 79 inches long and 16 inches wide (200 cm x 40 cm).

12. Burberry Classic Checked Cashmere Scarf

Best for: Investment luxury piece with timeless style

If you are looking for a classic pattern scarf, Burberry has many variations of its timeless check pattern scarf. This British scarf is perfect for cool and cold weather travel.

Burberry has been around as a clothing brand since 1856, and the brand’s clothing was popular with 19th and 20th-century explorers and travelers like Ernest Shackleton. The famous Burberry check was introduced in the 1920s, originally as a lining for raincoats. It is now one of the most recognized scarf patterns in the world, and one of the most copied.

This scarf measures approximately 66 inches long and 12 inches wide (168 cm x 30 cm). It is made of 100% cashmere with fringes at both ends, and you can add initials to personalize it when ordering. The company is based in London, and the scarves are made in a mill in Scotland. It is recommended that the scarf be dry cleaned only.

Burberry’s cashmere scarves are expensive, as you are paying extra for the brand name, but it is an investment piece as these are made to last a very long time. If you just want a plaid check scarf with a similar design (and don’t need it to be cashmere), you can find very similar ones at much lower prices. And if you love luxury scarves, designers such as Givenchy, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Hermes, and Valentino all make some lovely ones too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Travel Scarves

What is the best travel scarf for airplane travel?

For airplane travel, you want something soft against your skin, easy to wash between trips, and either large enough to double as a light blanket or warm enough to take the chill off a cold cabin.

If you like cashmere, the Ovcio Featherlight is my pick for flights. It is lightweight enough to fold into your carry-on but still adds real warmth on a chilly plane. If you would rather have something that works as a small blanket over your lap, the Wander Agio blanket scarf is a budget option that unfolds much bigger.

For a fuller blanket-style option, take a look at our travel wrap guide, which covers wider pieces designed to work as airplane blankets.

What is the difference between a travel scarf and a travel wrap?

A travel scarf is generally narrower and designed primarily to be worn around the neck, while a travel wrap is wider and can cover your shoulders like a shawl or blanket.

Some oversized scarves, like the square Wander Agio blanket scarf on our list, are large enough to work as both. But as a rule, if you mainly want neck warmth and a fashion accessory, go with a scarf. If you want something that can also serve as an airplane blanket, a shoulder cover-up for religious sites, or a beach cover, a wrap is the better choice.

We cover the bigger pieces in our separate travel wrap guide.

What fabric is best for a travel scarf?

For cold weather, wool and cashmere give you the most warmth. For warm weather, viscose, silk, and cotton are lighter and more breathable.

For easy care on the road, look for machine-washable fabrics like organic cotton, Tencel, or viscose rather than silk or cashmere, which need hand washing.

If you have sensitive skin or eczema (like I do), cotton and silk are the gentlest options, since wool and polyester can be irritating for some people.

Are hidden pocket scarves worth it for travel?

Hidden pocket scarves can be useful for keeping valuables like a passport, cash, and phone close to your body in areas where pickpockets are a concern. They work best as a hands-free alternative to a money belt or neck pouch, and the Zero Grid on our list is a good example.

Just keep in mind that hidden pocket scarves are all infinity-style, since the loop design is what hides the pocket, and heavier items like phones can cause the scarf to sag. They work best when you are carrying just a few lightweight items like cards, cash, and a key.

What is the best lightweight travel scarf for warm weather?

For warm weather travel, you want a scarf made from a lightweight, breathable fabric that will not feel heavy or make you overheat.

The Mulberry Silk scarf and the zestt Dreamsoft organic cotton scarf are both good options: silk is smooth and packs down tiny, while organic cotton is soft and easy to wash. For something a step up, the Ovcio Featherlight cashmere scarf is almost sheer and surprisingly cool to wear in warm weather, while still adding a bit of warmth for air-conditioned restaurants and museums.

How do I choose between a wool and cashmere travel scarf?

Wool is more durable, harder-wearing, and generally less expensive than cashmere, making it a practical choice for everyday travel. Merino wool in particular is softer than regular wool and less likely to feel scratchy.

Cashmere is lighter, softer, and warmer per gram of weight, but it is more delicate and requires hand washing or dry cleaning. If you want a scarf you can throw in your bag without worrying about it, go with wool. If you want something that takes up minimal space and feels special, cashmere is worth the investment.

Can I machine wash a cashmere travel scarf?

Most cashmere scarves should be hand washed in cool water with a gentle detergent and laid flat to dry. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, risks shrinking, stretching, or pilling the fabric.

If easy care is a priority for you, consider a machine-washable alternative like the Zero Grid infinity scarf or the zestt Dreamsoft organic cotton scarf, both of which you can put through the wash. We have more tips in our guide to doing laundry while traveling.

What is a good cashmere travel scarf that is not too expensive?

The Dalle Piane cashmere scarf (made in Italy) is one of the most affordable 100% cashmere options available, typically priced well under $100. It comes in a wide range of colors and includes a gift box.

The Ovcio Featherlight is a step up in price but is incredibly lightweight and comes with a travel pouch and gift box. Both are good entry points if you want to try cashmere without a large investment. For a detailed look at cashmere travel accessories, see our travel wrap guide, which also covers cashmere wraps.
