H&M’s Burgundy Built-in Scarf Jacket Is the On-Trend Layer You’ll Wear Into Winter That Looks So Expensive

If you're anything like us, you like to be organized in every aspect of life. That includes our wardrobes. As we edge into October, and chocolate browns replace chili reds, and jeans replace shorts, we're also on the hunt for cozy autumnal jackets. This season, there are two non-negotiable trends that decide whether or not said item will make the cut: it has to be burgundy, and it has to have a built-in scarf.While you may be thinking, “those are some pretty restrictive rules,” don't worry, because we've already found the perfect piece. It comes from the trusty and affordable H&M, who are experts at designing clothes that look way more expensive than they actually are.Case in point: this scarf-detail jacket ticks every autumn box. Coming in a deep wine color (or burgundy, to us), it also features the modern integrated scarf detail that's been seen on a string of recent street style snaps from Munich to Oslo. Should you fancy wearing the jacket without the scarf, it's actually detachable, so it makes for two separate outfit vibes. The jacket also features a button for front closure (which is more noticeable without the scarf), long statement sleeves and welt pockets.Because this jacket is part of the outfit—not just a practical item for ditching as soon as you get indoors—it's worth knowing how to style it. For a casual look, go for a pair of stovepipe jeans and a simple long-sleeved white tee. Dressing it up a little? Pair with a satin midi skirt and some suede brown boots (ankle or knee-high, whatever you prefer). And, for those who love the jacket but aren't huge fans of burgundy, you can actually grab it in a taupe shade, which gives more of a vintage work vibe.So! Many!
