Masculine scarves for fall & winter 2010

November 5, 2010 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

Express Slim Grid – $39.90 | Penfield Check – $34.48 | Boden Cashmere – $54.40 (reg. $60)

If you have a coat that looks like one of these, you’ll need a scarf.  Peacoats and overcoats have that V right where your sternum and collarbone meet.  It looks great, but it’s an easy entry point for cold air.  Consider the following to be strong suggestions for how to pick one out, and where to don that piece of cloth you use to keep your neck warm.

  • Patterns are great, but like your neckties, keep it simple.
  • Colors are good too (like the purple penfield above) but err on the side of muted.
  • Yes you can wear a scarf with just a blazer.  But it better be crisp out.
  • Once you get inside, the scarf comes off.
  • ^ Unless it has your favorite football or soccer team’s name on it, and the game is on.
  • A scarf has a beginning and an end.  None of this infinity monkey business.
  • It should be functional.  So get one thick enough to keep the wind out.
  • Wool is best.  Merino wool is better.  Cashmere, not necessary, but nice if it’s affordable.
  • Fringe is okay in small doses.
  • Leaving one end draped over your back is for WWI flying aces only.

Got any other suggestions for scarf usage guidelines?  Leave em’ in the comments section below…

    I happened to get lucky and score a peacoat with a scarf that matched the interior lining, so my choice was pretty much made for me heh.

    I think it’s always good to have a couple of scarves. Like joe said they do compare a little bit to a tie. You probably don’t want to take it too far, but having 2-3 scarves in rotation can spice up your outerwear look just enough.

    Good suggestions Joe! I have the Boden one and it is nice.

    I just bought this scarf a few days ago.

    It’s actually 100% merino wool (the description says 100% synthetic…typo?). I really like it, but it’s pretty wide. Using a coupon code I got it for $35 I think.

    I have a Express scarf that is very warm, but a bit too busy so I save it for only the coldest weather and take it off when I come indoors. My favorite is one that was actually part of the VW Drivers Gear collection. It is mostly black/red/white plaid to match the seats of the newest GTIs. Very understated and good looking. Plus it was $4. Not a bad deal.

    Really bummed that the boden cashmere costs even more than the reg. price listed here.

    @Jusay: Hmmm. The sale did end, and maybe I saw that “8” as a “0”? Might be a typo on my end?
