I am guilty in this department. I absolutely go bananas for scarfs. They make an outfit, no matter what.
So tell me boys, men, and daddies, how do you wear yours?
Here are a few, that I have in mind already for my Fall/Winter outfits
Why Wear A Scarf?
Function - Simply put, scarves do an excellent job of protecting a man’s neck. A thick wool scarf can keep your neck warm on a cold Wisconsin morning, or a lightweight linen scarf can protect your neck from the sun and sand when crossing the Sahara.
Scarf Build TypeThere are a lot of terms out there – bandana scarves, head scarves, square scarves, circle scarves, skinny scarves, and so on. Let’s keep it simple. You want your scarves to be rectangle and be made from a material that suits your needs.
Scarf Width & Length – Width should be from 6 to 14 inches, length from 50 to 90 inches, although an average height man wants a scarf at least 60 inches and a larger man should look for one in the 70 inch range.
Material – Scarves are typically made from either wool, cashmere, angora, cotton, linen, silk, synthetic materials, or a combination. Weave is very important as bulky scarves made from thick yarns require simple knots and are not as practical.
For winter scarves, stick with napped fabrics with a soft surface–you can’t go wrong with wool or cashmere. If you’re looking for a hot weather protective scarf–linen and lightweight cotton are great as are some synthetics designed specifically for this purpose.
And for me... I always keep this rule of thumb.... this was given to me from a great friend of mine, that introduced me to scarfs.... Well acutally it was my ex.. : )
General Rules for Tying a Scarf
1.Keep it simple – only tie knots you are comfortable wearing–confidence is everything.
2.Scarf length & thickness can limit knot style options.
3.A scarf isn’t a necktie–keep it loose
Hope to hear from you all, on ideas and how you wear yours...
Yours Truly,
