Here’s a bold statement: winter fashion doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style for warmth. But here’s where it gets controversial—while most people think layering up leaves no room for flair, Jennifer Lawrence is proving them wrong with one simple, under-$50 accessory: a red scarf. Yes, you read that right. The effortlessly chic NYC icon has already kicked off her cold-weather wardrobe, and her go-to piece is a classic knit, wool, or cashmere scarf draped casually around her neck. Forget the head-to-toe red trend of past seasons—this winter, it’s all about subtle red accents, as spotted on the stylish streets of NYFW last month. And the best part? This trend is not only accessible but budget-friendly, with options available across the internet for less than $50.
Lawrence paired her vibrant scarf with a long cream coat, loose black pants, and rugged Salomon sneakers, creating a look that’s both cozy and eye-catching. And this is the part most people miss—red is one of those rare colors that complements almost anything, making it the perfect winter accessory. It adds a pop of warmth (both literally and figuratively) without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for a smart, stylish, and practical purchase this winter, a red scarf is undoubtedly it.
Take a cue from Lawrence’s styling and scroll down to shop my top under-$50 scarf picks. Whether you’re into fringed edges, chunky knits, or maxi bandanas, there’s a red scarf for every taste. But here’s a thought-provoking question: Is the red scarf trend a timeless classic or just a fleeting winter fad? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—we’re all ears!
