The classic scarf and the stole are still often confused with one another. Yet a stole is not just any scarf. A stole is a longer, wider women’s scarf that’s large enough to wrap completely around your upper body. That makes this garment particularly well-suited for wearing as an extra layer during the winter. Stoles made of wool, in particular, keep you very warm!
