The classic Burberry scarf is iconic...but is it still in style? We’ll answer that question and more below! Whether you're considering purchasing a Burberry scarf for the first time or pulling yours out of the closet, we're here to help, so keep reading.
Steps
Question 3 of 7:
Why are Burberry scarves so expensive?
-
They’re handmade in Scotland using the finest materials. All cashmere scarves are woven on looms at a 200-year-old mill. It takes 30 steps to create a single scarf, including washing the fabric with water from a spring in the Scottish countryside. [3] X Research source
-
Burberry is a high-end luxury brand. In addition to the materials and expertise, you’re also paying for the Burberry name. The company was founded in 1856 and has a long history in the fashion industry. The classic check pattern of the iconic Burberry scarf was trademarked in the 1920s! [4] X Research source

Question 5 of 7:
How can you tell if a Burberry scarf is authentic?
-
Look for a blurred appearance. A real Burberry scarf has a blurred look to it because of the brushing process during production. In contrast, knock-offs likely have clear demarcation lines where the colors change.
-
Ensure all the font weights on the tags are the same. The tags on fake Burberry scarves are often low-quality, so the size and thickness of the letters may be uneven. On a real Burberry scarf, each character is in the same font style and weight. [6] X Research source
- The tags contain information about the brand, where the scarf was made, and how to care for it.
-
Check for thick, even tassels. The tassels at the end of a real Burberry scarf are bulky. On a knock-off, these tend to be thin and stringy. [7] X Research source
-
Make sure the scarf comes in a box with an extra tag. When you buy a real Burberry scarf, it will be presented to you in a box with an extra Burberry tag, a paper containing Burberry’s contact information, and the receipt. [8] X Research source
-
Purchase Burberry items only from authorized retailers. To know you’re getting the real deal, buy your scarf from the manufacturer. You can order a Burberry scarf from the Burberry website, or pick one up at Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Macy’s, or other high-end department stores.

Question 6 of 7:
What do you wear with a Burberry scarf?
-
Opt for a monochromatic outfit to make your scarf the star of the show. For a sleek look, choose pieces in a single shade and add your Burberry scarf for a pop of color. [9] X Research source For instance, pair a little black dress, black trench coat, and black pumps with your scarf.
- There are tons of ways to tie your scarf to create different looks, as well. [10] X Research source
-
Pair your Burberry scarf with a Burberry trench for a classic look. The check pattern on the lining of the khaki Burberry trench was the inspiration for the scarf. If you want to look like a million bucks, choose a top and slacks in neutral, solid colors. [11] X Expert Source Dina Scherer

So, you can pair it with fall neutrals like brown and beige, for example.
