For the longest time, I’ve blamed bulky jackets for ruining my otherwise stylish winter outfits. But after a recent scroll through my Instagram feed, I realized that adding on an outer layer may not be such a bad thing. Supermodels like Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Elsa Hosk have put me onto the idea of scarf coats, and I’m convinced they’re the solution to my cold weather fashion woes.

These fashion queens have been spotted wearing either leather or wool coats with detachable scarves (Hosk even designed one for her brand!) that complement their looks, rather than taking away from them. Not to mention, this Toteme Embroidered Scarf Jacket has been living rent-free in my brain ever since I came across it. But since I’m not looking to spend over $1,000 on a new jacket, I found five under-$80 alternatives on Amazon to level-up my winter wardrobe for less.

Best Amazon Scarf Coats Under $80

SeekMe Embroidered Scarf Jacket

On sale for $30, this wool-blend jacket comes in nine colors, each with scalloped embroidery on the edges. It, of course, has an attached scarf, along with wide sleeves, patch pockets, and functional buttons down the front. A reviewer even said it looks and feels “so designer” despite its budget-friendly price. Throw the jacket on over jeans and a tee for an elevated cool-girl look, or style it with a slip dress and heeled boots for a chic night-out ensemble. 

Aedceal Embroidered Jacket With Scarf

Another embroidered option, this oversized jacket has a detachable scarf, so you can switch up the look depending on your outfit. That also means the coat will work for multiple seasons, since you can bundle up with the scarf during the fall and winter, and wear the collarless jacket on its own in the spring. It comes in two neutral colors — black and gray — with white embroidery along the seams, so it’ll match virtually any pieces in your wardrobe. 

Mud Pie Ash Draped Jacket

Kendall Jenner proved that the scarf coat trend also applies to leather jackets when she wore a Phoebe Philo style that sold out in just five minutes. So, I took the liberty of finding similar, more attainable options, like this draped-front jacket from Mud Pie. And since it’s the most expensive option of the bunch, I feel obligated to tell you that the jacket is part of Prime Try Before You Buy, an Amazon program that allows Prime members to try out clothing, shoes, and accessories for seven days before purchasing them. That way you can get the coat home, style it with outfits already in your closet, and make sure you love it before officially making it yours — sounds pretty ideal to me.
