- The material: Scarves should not only be matched to the outside temperature, but also suit the style of the coat. An elegant coat, for example, always goes with a thin scarf, without too many fringes. In general, linen and cotton are good for summer, and wool scarves and cashmere help you through the cold winter day.
- The looks: Patterns are in. Go for a nice stripe or check, or possibly a Paisley print, such as from specialised brands like Profuomo. An unusual combination can also reveal something about your personality. You can deliberately choose a contrast between coat and scarf because someone finds a harmonious whole too boring. Just like all garments, the men's scarf too often speaks a clear language.
- The knot: Below you'll find the best-known knots. The choice of which knot suits you or your outfit best also determines the length of the scarf, so you need to bear that in mind. To keep the scarf functional too — a big advantage of the accessory — we advise you in any case to choose a scarf of a handy size and weight. Ever seen a woman struggling with those enormous 'cloths' that they completely disappear into? Not for the man…
Anyone who thought that only women have to think about the knot in their scarf is mistaken. For men too, the knot makes the difference between dressed-up or cool. But also between nice and warm or loose. There are many knots, and wearing a special knot says a lot about your personal style. Suitable advises…
Easy, attractive and warm! With this knot you're almost always fine. In terms of length too, almost every scarf is suitable. You can also tuck the ends into your coat for extra warmth.
Place the (long) scarf around your neck, and throw one end casually over your shoulder. Especially popular among students.
For this you need a long scarf. You place the scarf around your neck, cross it over your chest, and tie it behind your back. Works well under a suit! And your upper body therefore stays nice and warm.
Suitable knot for scarves of a medium length. You place the scarf around your neck, with 1 end a bit longer. You cross this end over the shorter piece and then pass it underneath, like with a tie. Very nice in cold weather!
Now it gets trickier, so pay close attention. For this you need a scarf of medium to long length. Place it around your neck, with 1 end a bit longer. Wrap this long piece around your neck once more, and tuck it under your scarf at the front. Take the shorter piece and tuck it in there too. The best choice in really cold weather!
However you tie your scarf, it doesn't matter — a beautiful scarf is a timeless fashion accessory with which you look stylish and stay warm during the colder months.
