There are many notable moments in fashion history, one of which occurred in November 2022 when Toteme's Whipstitch Scarf Coat first appeared on the scene and like a moth to a flame, it garnered the attention of the fashion set.
Subsequently, women were seen donning it worldwide, and it became instantly recognisable and akin to a marker of quiet luxury. Featuring a cape-like silhouette, blanket stitch border, slight bouclé touch (due to the raised profile), and fringed scarf, it was like no other piece we'd seen before.
Fast-forward to Autumn/Winter 2025, and the scarf coat has become a key outerwear staple for the colder months. It has even evolved from its original coat silhouette into jackets and sweaters, demonstrating how this technical design is not only stylish but also highly practical.

Allowing for extra coverage without needing to carry additional layers, it's no surprise that the style set can't get enough. Over on the AW25 runways, brands like Ferragamo, Burberry, and Sportmax showcased their own interpretations, enhancing the original silhouette with checkered prints, thick asymmetric cuts, and long fringe detailing.
And of course, even though our job requires us to study trends and their evolution with enthusiasm, it ultimately affects our sense of style.
