Freezing? Winter's most genius fashion find is here.

For some reason, this winter feels absolutely brutal — and I'm not just talking about my heating bill. But here's the thing: the fashion gods have delivered us the perfect solution, and it's been quietly taking over my Instagram feed for weeks.

Enter the 'scarf jumper' — or, as I like to call it, the laziest genius invention of 2025. It's basically what happens when your favourite knit and your cosiest scarf have a baby, and honestly, I'm obsessed.

Watch: Leigh Campbell uses the style math method. Post continues below.

These clever little numbers come with built-in scarf details that either drape elegantly from the neckline or wrap around like you've mastered the art of effortless cosy layering.

Some have detachable scarves, others are permanently attached, but they all solve the same problem – looking put-together when you can barely feel your fingers.

The best part? Since you're essentially wearing a top and accessory in one, you can keep everything else simple. Throw it over jeans, leggings, or even that skirt you've been too cold to wear, and you're sorted.
