Lenny Kravitz Announced The Beginning Of Fall With His Signature Gargantuan Scarf, And Everyone Is Obsessed

    "Lenny Kravitz is our Mariah Carey for fall."

    It's a cool fall day in 2012. Social media activism was at its infancy with Kony 2012, "Gangnam Style" was taking over the global airwaves, and Lenny Kravitz just stepped out in a scarf.

    Except...that's really not a scarf. That's a full-ass blanket.

    A tweet saying "I need a new throw for my sofa, anyone know where Lenny Kravitz got his scarf?"

    Years pass on, but the scarf, or rather, blanket, never quite leaves our collective conscience.

    Whenever I wear a blanket scarf I feel like I’m giving off Lenny Kravitz wearing a blanket vibes

    As Lenny said in a 2018 interview with Jimmy Fallon: "Here’s the thing about the internet, though, that’s the problem. That's the size of the scarf, but the scarf keeps getting bigger, and bigger and bigger..."

    And now...the blanket scarf has made a comeback. On Saturday, Lenny Kravitz made his first TikTok by stepping out in the gigantic scarf once more:

    He was a man with a vision and only had one thing to say: "Grab your big scarf. It's the first day of fall."

    So that's that, y'all! Summer is officially over, and everyone's pretty much on board.

    This was my reaction, too.

    "LENNY KRAVITZ BIG SCARF"

    Lenny Kravitz is to fall as Mariah Carey is to winter.

    "Lenny Kravitz is our Mariah Carey for fall"

    Not to mention this man is *swoon*...like, IDC if he's wearing a blanket bigger than my comforter!!!!

    "Honey wrapped himself in a comforter and I'm on board with it"

    I'm just kinda obsessed with the longevity of this meme.

    "the girls who know, know this is AN ICONIC MOMENT!"
