Spring is a season of contrasts. You step out in the morning wrapped up against a biting chill, only to find yourself peeling off layers by mid-afternoon. Dressing for such unpredictable temperatures can feel like a challenge, but with the right wool accessories, you can stay stylish and comfortable all day long.
Here’s how to navigate those frosty mornings and surprisingly mild spring afternoons with ease, using versatile wool scarves, hats and accessories from The British Blanket Company.
1. Layer Up With An Oversized Blanket Scarf
An oversized blanket scarf is your best friend on frosty mornings. Wrap it snugly around your shoulders for extra warmth or drape it as a shawl for a more elegant touch. The generous size makes it perfect for layering over a chunky winter coat or a lightweight spring jacket.
Style Tip: Choose bold patterns or vibrant colours to make your oversized scarf the star of your outfit, or opt for muted tones to create a more understated, versatile look.

2. Accessorise With Classic Width Scarves
For a more lightweight option, our regular-width scarves are perfect for layering without adding bulk. Draped over your shoulders or looped snugly around your neck, a lambswool scarf provides natural warmth and softness against the skin. Try pairing a herringbone scarf with a trench coat or a lighter jacket to prepare for milder days.
Style Tip: Experiment with different draping techniques. A loosely tied knot can create a polished look, while a simple wrap keeps things snug on frosty mornings. Check out our blog post on How To Wear A Blanket Scarf for more scarf styling ideas.

3. Experiment With Stripey Scarves
The shift towards spring is the perfect time to inject a little pattern into your wardrobe. Our collections feature oversized scarves with bold stripes that elevate even the simplest outfits. Pair a patterned scarf with a plain coat to make it the focal point of your look.
Style Tip: For a maximalist edge, experiment with contrasting colours and layered patterns. Try pairing vibrant stripes with playful checks or blending bold hues to create a striking style statement.

4. Top Off Your Look With A Wool Beret
No transitional wardrobe is complete without a classic wool beret. These chic accessories keep the morning chill at bay while adding a touch of timeless elegance to any outfit. Plus, they’re compact enough to tuck into your bag if the afternoon sun gets too warm.
Made from soft wool, our berets are not only stylish but also naturally insulating and breathable, making them perfect for all-day wear.
Style Tip: Match your beret to your scarf for a coordinated look, or mix and match contrasting tones to create a playful, modern vibe.

5. Choose Wool Accessories For Natural Warmth
Natural wool fibres are excellent for regulating body temperature, making them ideal for unpredictable weather. They’ll keep you warm in the morning and breathe when it’s warmer later on. Our lambswool scarves and berets are made with this natural versatility in mind.
