A Big Scarf to Protect Against Aggressive Air-Conditioning

Walking around in the summer can be like starring in an “Icy Hot” commercial: Step outside and melt in the heat, or venture indoors and freeze in frigid air-conditioning. Getting dressed with these microclimates in mind can be a struggle, but that’s where this lightweight scarf comes in. Stuff it in your bag on the way to work and simply whip it out when you need an extra bit of warmth; come weekend, you can tie it as a sarong while you lounge poolside.
