Wrap it Up

These five wraps are the perfect solution for staying cozy during the late summer chill.

It’s a sure sign that Fall is on the way as soon as you feel that inimitable chill once the sun goes down on a summer night. And, unlike a cardigan or pullover, a wrap, whether made of cashmere or merino, is easily stowable until that very moment when you need it—adding the perfect pop to whatever you’re wearing, too. Here, five to add to your summer closet:

A customer favorite since it was introduced in 1980, the bestselling Cashmere Wrap from Garnet Hill, tops our list of stunning wraps to have on hand. We love that they’re made of 100% SFA-certified cashmere, which means that the cashmere is produced in a way that adheres to high animal welfare standards, and bonus: There are over a dozen colors to choose from. ($199; Garnet Hill)

Softness seekers look no further: The Dreamsoft Travel Scarf from Zestt Organics, can’t be beat. These come in a wide variety of rich colors, there are 20-plus ways to style them and best of all, these wraps are made of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. ($50; Zestt Organics)

The Five Mile River Scarf from Dudley Stephens is, happily, made with the brand’s signature terry fleece, which is spun from recycled plastic bottles. It also features fashion-forward scalloped edges and provides cozy warmth without bulk, making it an ideal accessory to have on hand for those transitional evenings as summer slips into fall. ($88; Dudley-Stephens)

Woven in Ireland, the 100% merino lambswool wearable wraps from Evangeline Linens in Portland, Maine, aim to capture the “resilience and warmth of Maine” and keep customers cozy, too. The wraps from this family-owned company are the ideal size, too: They’re smaller than a throw but bigger than a scarf. Plus, they’re so stylish you’ll want to wear one all year long.  ($152; Evangeline Linens)

The French inspired Aude scarf from Frank & Eileen is made of jersey fabric and is so oversized that you’ll want to get all wrapped up in it, whether you’re dining outdoors on a chilly evening or buckling in for an overnight flight. ($152; Frank & Eileen)
