So autumn has come, with its rains, dampness and cold – it's time to think about such a stylish and fashionable accessory as a men's scarf! As with the purchase of any other accessory, the purchase of a scarf should be taken seriously and responsibly. Today we'll talk about how to choose a scarf for a man, based on a huge variety of shapes, styles, materials and colors.
The undoubted advantage of a men's scarf is the ability to look stylish for a man and at the same time provide the necessary warmth to our throat. By itself, a man's scarf can add a special flavor and elegance to an image. It makes it possible to make casual clothing fashionable and individual.
What material are scarves made of
When purchasing a scarf, you should decide on its style and choose a quality product that you will wear regularly with joy, and not one that will gather dust on the shelf in the closet. It is advisable to choose models from natural materials that are pleasant to the touch. Wearing a product with synthetic additives can irritate the thin and sensitive skin of the neck and cause discomfort.
Men's wool scarf
A wool scarf will help to keep warm – it can be rabbit (angora), llama (alpaca) or goat (mohair, merino and cashmere) wool. Today, on the shelves of stores, there are double-sided models of scarves, when one part is made of fine wool, and the other is made of natural silk, but most often these are female models of scarves. Men's scarves made of smooth woolen cloths look the most elegant and stylish.

The overall style that you prefer also plays an important role. So, scarves made of wool, cashmere or cotton are ideal for a classic formal suit or a men's coat. Products with a large knit are more suitable for jackets, down jackets, jeans and sweaters.

Wool is the most comfortable and practical material that can absorb more than 30% moisture while remaining dry. Cashmere (mountain goat down) is considered one of the most expensive materials; accessories made of it are very thin, light and warm.
When choosing a scarf, carefully read the composition from which it is made. It is not recommended to purchase a scarf made of acrylic or with its predominance – although such a product is pleasant to the touch, it will not protect your neck from frost and will not warm it.
Color and style of men's scarves
The color scheme of scarves is quite conservative, however, despite this, one should not forget that it is necessary to select a product taking into account the general color scheme of the wardrobe. Classic and popular are the blue and gray colors of the scarf, as well as products in a large check. When choosing a color, you should follow the same rules as when buying a tie. Choose a product that is a couple of shades darker or lighter than the main clothing (suit or coat). Stylists recommend choosing monochrome models or models with two shades under the strict classic business style of clothing.

White also belongs to the classic colors of men's scarves – by tying a snow-white scarf over a coat or suit, you are guaranteed to attract attention and stand out in the crowd. Not the most successful purchase would be a black scarf, which in most cases gives the appearance of its owner an earthy shade and visually ages the skin of the face. Accessories in sky blue or light blue, navy blue and light gray will refresh the look and make the image lighter.
For men who prefer a sporty style of clothing, scarves of various shades are ideal, but it should be remembered that too bright scarves are bad manners, but there are exceptions to this rule. Bright products with various ornaments will perfectly complement the image of teenagers and informals.
Shape and size of men's scarves
Scarves differ in shape by:
- bandanas;
- rafatka;
- scarves;
- round scarves;

Important details
Long rectangular accessories are the perfect addition to any style wardrobe. But a round or square shape will allow you to focus on the scarf.
How to distinguish a man's scarf from a woman's? This is simple enough. Men's models are never pink or purple and their shades. To decorate men's accessories, pins, buttons, pompons, tassels, embroidery and beads are not used. They are not transparent or delicate.

The width of a men's scarf is usually 15-35 centimeters, and the most optimal length is 180-200 cm. Products longer than 2 meters are most often female. For a business style, it is more expedient to purchase narrow products that can be worn with both a business suit and a classic coat. Wide models are ideal for sports and casual wear. Accessories shorter than a meter are difficult to tie beautifully around the neck, but they are ideal for everyday wear.
How to wear a men's scarf
When figuring out how to choose a scarf for a man, you should also know how to wear it. Men are not used to being very perplexed about their appearance and spending a lot of time to tie a scarf, and here stylists fully support them – wear this accessory the way that suits you best.
A fun way to wear a men's scarf
We will introduce you to 6 basic options, thanks to which you will tie a scarf quickly and beautifully:
- The simplest option is when the scarf is wrapped once around the neck. A long scarf of any width is suitable for these purposes. Tie it in such a way that both ends remain free to dangle below.
- Drapery is an equally easy and simple way, when the accessory is simply thrown around the neck. This option is ideal for warm autumn and spring. The model goes well with business suits, cardigans and jumpers. If necessary, the ends of the scarf can be tucked into the inside of the jacket or under its lapels.
- Stylish and beloved by many is the French knot. This way of tying allows the accessory to keep warm well. This option is perfect for almost any style of clothing. The length of the scarf plays an important role – it should be more than 1.5-1.8 meters. Fold the scarf in half, then throw it around your neck, holding both ends. Thread the folded ends through the loop at the other end of the scarf and tighten.
- The ideal youth option is the way when the accessory is lightly wrapped around the neck, one end of it is thrown over the shoulder, and the other is in the front. A skinny scarf, which can be worn in late spring, summer and early autumn, is also suitable for a youth style. Make a couple of turns around the neck and thread the top edge of the scarf through the turns so that both edges of the product are under the turns – this will make your look non-trivial and stylish .
- The following method of tying a scarf is also suitable for almost any style of clothing – tie it like a tie, and hide the ends under clothes.
- A scarf wrapped twice around the neck will help to survive the cold and strong wind – place it so that one end of it is at chest level, and with the other, wrap the neck twice, covering all its open areas. Then tie the ends and hide them under the resulting turns.
If you don't like the hanging ends of the accessory, we recommend that you pay attention to the 'snood' or 'pipe' models. Such models are easy to dress and look stylish. If desired, you can easily make a stylish 'yoke' from a regular wide scarf, which also fits over the head and helps to stand out from the crowd.

Finally
Don't be afraid to experiment with style and color, the more scarves you have in your wardrobe, the more options you have to diversify your style! Believe me, a beautiful and stylish accessory can bring joy not only to women, but also to men.
