I have to say that I was quite shocked to discover how many fabulous images I managed to find of men wearing scarves for my How to Wear a Scarf – For Men post. Who knew there were so many men I would shag wandering aimlessly around London? There were even more women! Wearing scarves I mean, not women I would shag.
Here is the pick o’ the litter…
I love a silk scarf tied around like a roll-neck. And the pattern and colours give it an unusual twist.
I strongly believe that shawls are in the scarf family. Or scarves are in the shawl family. I don’t know which one but there is some serious in-breeding going on there. Anyway how beautiful is this girl? A shawl with serious fringe doesn’t look at all Nanna-like when paired with a funky haircut and a dapper little beret.
Skinny scarves are too cool. I like to wear them and drink Frappucinos and pretend that I am Kate Hudson.
Always play with texture. Okay the jumper is a little scary but the scarf is divine.
Wear a red scarf with red lipstick. Seriously just do it.
A loose extra long scarf gives snuggle-factor like nothing else. Only attempt this look if you want people to cuddle you excessively.
A fur stole with big-arse bow. Need. This. Now.
I don’t know if this is technically a scarf or just some fur pompoms on a ribbon. Lets just call it the Pommy Ribbonator (distant cousin of the scarf… It may have had some babies with a necklace and a rabbit) and admit that it’s rad. Is anyone feeling a DIY kind of thing here?
Block colour is splendid. Lined with black and thrown over a leather jacket is just scarf heaven wouldn’t you say?
Casual plaid with matching heels. How quaint!
A casual designer scarf slung around your neck and blowing in the breeze. Oh yeah.
A red scarf with straight black. An afro is preferable but not compulsory.
A marshmallow fluff shawl with a pink headband. Why don’t we all own these?
Stock up on scarves! They are the cheapest and most over looked item at nearly all thrift stores. And here is a kooky tip for you – wear them around your neck. So many people wear them as headscarves that it’s scary but a silky number tied around your neck is SO COOL that it’s practically frozen. Lame metaphor, I know but I needed to get my point across somehow…
Stay tuned for more scarf-y goodness…
Love Lady Smaggle

Na – Dave is the one going through the mid-life crisis. Perhaps you could lend him your scarf-tie? Great idea by the way…
Ivy – Oh me too! I need to have tiny little furry things around my neck… didn’t mean for that to sound so gross.

I got inspired by your man scarf post the other day and wore a tie, untied, round my neck like a scarf. it was so hip. Dave said I looked like I was having a mid-life crisis.

Wendy – That’s true! You’re more of a ‘my top is fabulous on it’s own thank you very much’ type of gal. Maybe it’s the New York thing?

The colors in that first scarf are so beautiful. I’m not much of a scarf person though. I can’t handle layers! I just like to see them on other people.

wonderful! in props to princessnaea, and just in general, I want to give a big ‘yay’ to the concept of the scarf tied like a tie (which I am doing with pale blue chiffon today), and the tie worn as a scarf! Bless.

Hailey – Why thanks lady! More scarf goodness coming soon. I’m happy that you comment. 🙂
