An infinity scarf, also known as a ring scarf or a cowl,[1] is a circular scarf without defined ends.[2][1] Unlike traditional scarves, they do not need to be fastened around the neck.[3] They are often worn doubled, though they may be worn in a singular loop,[1] or looped further if desired.[4] A regular scarf can be fitted to mimic its appearance.[5] Infinity scarves were popular in 2010s fashion.[6] Two infinity scarves from a Canadian business were gifted to Barack Obama's daughters from Justin Trudeau.[7] Instructions for how to wear them were one of the top Google searches for fashion in 2019.[8] The trend declined when blanket scarves (which are bigger than infinity scarves) faced renewed interest.[9]
