I made the mistake of walking out of my house this morning without wrapping up properly. By "properly", I obviously mean "like I'd stepped into a meat freezer".
Scarves are perfect for the winter because as well as being a great accessory, they add welcome protection from the elements. As an accessory, a scarf can be interesting, so avoid the dreary block colours; they don't need to be bright or colourful, but try to add something slightly more exciting to an outfit.
I believe Sir Paul Smith to be the very best at providing such accessories; by far my favourite menswear designer, alive or otherwise, the firm carrying his name produce effortlessly stylish garments which are, in my experiences, always of excellent quality.
While I'm talking about Sir Paul, it would be rude to start with anything other than his instantly recognisable signature stripe scarf; this scarf is perfect for every outfit I can think of, whether you're wearing a well-cut suit or jeans and a t-shirt. It's colourful nature also means it matches practically anything, although it really adds life to a darker outfit.
If that's a little too colourful, Selfridges also have the slightly more subdued college stripe scarf, which itself is certainly no compromise - and more student-budget friendly.
Remember to stay wrapped up. Just like you don't want to be sunburnt in summer, it's best to stay wrapped up in winter, so why not look good while you do so?
