A coat lasts ten years. The scarf, the gloves and the hat are what make it look new each winter, and they are the least expensive way to own something from a great house. Three names own this category: Hermès for the silk scarf, Burberry for check cashmere and Loro Piana for the softest knitwear there is. These are the 26 pieces we would buy from them.
