A scarf is a perfect travel accessory because of its versatility. A scarf can be worn to keep you warm, protect you from the sun, or cover you for modesty. It can also make a fashion statement and help dress up an outfit.

Scarves also travel well. Most scarves are lightweight enough to easily fit into your luggage, purse, or backpack without taking up too much room.

I don’t wear a scarf every day, but I always have at least one in my suitcase when traveling. In the winter, I use them to keep warm and stay cozy. In warm climates, I use them for keeping sun off my neck and shoulders and for adding a bit of flair to my wardrobe. A travel scarf can also be used as a blanket on a long-haul flight, as a shawl on a chilly beach, or as a head covering at a religious site.

Since so many women choose a scarf for traveling, we wanted to share some tips for finding the best travel scarf for you.

First we’ll go over some information that might be helpful to consider when choosing a scarf for travel. This includes warmth, size, fabric type, and versatility. Then we review a variety of different travel scarves that range across budgets and styles.

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 it comes to 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”— 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

When it comes to 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, the United Kingdom, Spain, China, Italy, Canada, and many more.

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 $10 and end with scarves priced at over USD $300, with the majority of our choices being 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”. If you are not sure about a particular item, copy the URL address of the product and check it here on FakeSpot. It can help you determine if there are likely fake or deceptive reviews being used by the company or seller in question.

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 travel wraps.

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.

1. Melifluous Lightweight Geometric Scarf

These lightweight scarves can be worn on your travels all year round, whether you’re keeping it casual at the beach or heading out for a more formal dinner. They are multifunctional and can be worn as a beach wrap, summer shawl, head scarf, wrap skirt etc.

The scarves are made from 100% viscose. They are designed in Spain and manufactured in China. Hand wash or delicate machine wash.

They are generously sized, measuring 72 inches x 36 inches (182 cm X 91 cm). Could also be used as a head scarf, sarong, or lightweight shawl or wrap.

2. Cindy and Wendy Lightweight Lace Fringe Fashion Scarf

This eye-catching fringed scarf adds a pop of color to any outfit. Great budget-friendly way to dress up a plain travel outfit.

Note that these are triangular-shaped like a shawl and are much wider in the middle and thinner at the ends. They are 53 inches in length and 13 inches in width (at widest point), or 134 cm in length by 33 inches in width (at widest point).

They are relatively short and meant to be wrapped around the neck a time or two. Some styles are thin material (almost sheer) with lace and fringe trim and others are fully lace with fringe trim. Lightweight and take up little room in luggage. It is delicate and can snag easily.

They come in a large range of colors and a few different styles. These are designed for decoration, not warmth, so are best for warm weather destinations although they can be worn year round. It could also be used for a kerchief, veil, or head scarf.

They are made in China and are made of polyester. Hand wash only.

I have four of these type of scarves in different colors that I purchased in Europe. They are generally cheaply made from polyester, and are designed for fashion not warmth. But I do like them for adding a bit of texture and color to plain outfits in warmer weather.

3. Reemonde Scarf

This Reemonde scarf will retain warmth so probably works best for cooler weather in autumn and winter.

The wrap measures 76 inches X 27 inches (193 cm X 68 cm). It comes in a wide array of solid colors and has tassels along the edges.

It is made in China and reports to be a blend of acrylic, wool, and cashmere. Given the price, expect it to be made mostly acrylic. Hand wash only.

5. Turtle Fur Cold Weather Double-layered Neck Gaiter

If you are headed to a cold weather destination and plan to spend a lot of time outdoors, you may want to consider a Turtle Fur neck warmer. This isn’t really a scarf, but it may be more useful than a scarf for those doing more active winter travel. 

Designed in 1982, this classic neck warmer is designed to provide warmth, comfort, and wear. It is famous for being the #1 best-selling fleece neck warmer in the world.

Unlike a traditional scarf, you don’t wrap it, the ends are sewn together and you just slip it over your head. It fits like a turtle neck sweater around the neck area and you can just keep it down at the neck or it can also be used to also cover the chin and mouth area. It is made of two double layers of fleece that help trap in the heat.

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

It is 100% acrylic and their ‘one size fits all’ Turtle Fur measures 9 5/8 inches (24.45 cm) x 9 5/8 inches (24.45 cm) when laid flat. Turtle Fur is an American company based in Vermont and this product is currently made in Mexico.

It is easy to take care of as it can be machine washed at cold or lukewarm temperatures and can be tumble dried. But I’d be as gentle with the washing and drying as possible to keep it from piling.

6. Soak Couture Plaid Infinity Scarf

These plaid infinity scarves are made with soft, high-quality flannel, to keep you warm and stylish on your travels. With thick and cozy material that wraps around your neck, it would be ideal for autumn and winter weather.

The plaid flannel scarf is made entirely by hand and measures approximately 57 inches X 10 inches (144 cm X 25 cm) and is 100% flannel cotton. The fabric is designed to become softer as you wear and wash it. It is recommended that scarves are hand washed with gentle laundry soap and then laid flat to dry.

These scarves are handmade by shop owner Julie in Montreal in Canada, and patterns may change each season.

Soak Couture also offers a number of other infinity scarves as well in addition to the plaid ones, and there are also a large number of whimsical print cotton scarves as well. Some of these would be well suited to spring and summer travel as well.

7. Literati Jules Verne Literary Infinity Scarf

This literary inspired infinity scarf was made with book lovers in mind and is a real conversation starter. But also great for those who love travel as Verne is of course known for his classic travel and adventure novels, including Around the World in 80 Days, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

The scarf is a heather gray color with black print. The quote on this scarf is from Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and reads:

“The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion, it is the Living Infinite.” – Jules Verne.

The infinity scarf is made in Los Angeles, California and is made of a soft heavy rayon-polyester blend jersey fabric. It measures 58”-60” (148-153 cm) inches around and 14”-15” (36-38 cm) inches wide. The scarf also comes with a reusable zippered pouch to store it.

For cleaning, it is recommended that you hand wash the scarf and lay flat to dry.

Literati also makes a number of other book and literary-themed scarves, including ones for Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes, and Peter Pan fans.

8. Melifluous Lightweight Silk Scarf

If you are looking for a lightweight silk scarf at a budget-friendly price, this may be the scarf for you. Silk is perfect year-round and these scarves are designed for warmer weather wear.

The scarf is versatile in that it would work well in formal situations and add flair in casual ones. It is available in a number of different patterns. It is a generous size so it could also be be used as a lightweight shawl, beach sarong, headscarf, etc.

This lightweight scarf measures 72 inches x 43 inches (182 cm X 110 cm) and is made with 100% natural silk. It is made in China. It can be hand washed or dry cleaned.

This scarf made it on the list because a lot of people are looking for a silk scarf but have a smaller budget. At around $25, this is a good price for a silk scarf. I don’t personally own this one, but just be aware that at this price it is not going to be the best quality silk or printing. But it has good reviews so far which appear to be genuine.

9. Candor and Class Virgin Wool Scarf

This 100% virgin wool scarf is a great accessory for winter travel. If you are looking for a well-priced soft wool scarf, this is one to consider. The wool keeps you warm so is definitely better for cool or cold weather travel.

They have about 30 styles available, including both solid colors and plaid prints. If you are looking for a British plaid pattern, they have several that are very similar to the Burberry check scarf patterns in various colors.

The body of the scarf is 64.5 inches (164 cm) long X 12 inches (30.5 cm) wide with an additional 3 inch of fringes on each side.

The scarf is made of 100% fine wool from Inner Mongolia and are made in China. It is recommended that this scarf be dry cleaned only.

10. Waypoint Goods Infinity Travel Scarf

If you are looking for a travel scarf with a hidden pocket, this is one of the best selling ones out there. The soft infinity scarf is wide and contains a hidden pocket that you can use to keep your valuable items safe when you travel. 

This is one way to keep valuables like your passport, IDs, wallet, and cell phone safe while traveling. I personally like it for airports, train stations, and when shopping where I just have a few things to carry and don’t want to have to have a purse or backpack. Great for places where you are concerned about pickpockets and want a fashionable alternative to the hidden neck, belt, and bra pockets.

This loose double wrap infinity scarf sits naturally over your shoulders and measures 22″ wide and 32” long. It is designed to make two loops.

The lined zippered pocket are about 8” wide and 7” deep, making it big enough to stash a few items such as your smartphone, passport, credit card, tickets, lipstick, travel wallet, feminine hygiene products, earbuds, and/or some cash. 

Note that to fit the pocket into the scarf, these scarves are designed to be pretty wide so that there is lots of material to accommodate and hide the pocket. So if you don’t like a wide infinity scarf, this might not be for you. Waypoint Goods does now have a new lightweight scarves line which are thinner and more lightweight versions of the original.

The scarves are made of a soft polyester fabric and there are over a dozen colors and designs available. They are manufactured in China, but they are designed, checked for quality, and packaged in the United States. 

It is recommended that the scarf is hand washed with a mild detergent and laid flat to dry for best results. It can also be machine washed on delicate if placed in a garment bag and laid flat to dry.
