• The Right Material

You don’t want to look like a wrapped up polar bear. So never go overboard. If you’re wearing the scarf under your coat then go for lighter and breathable materials that won’t end up suffocating you, but at the same time, they also need to be thick enough to keep you warm and comfortable. And well, let’s be honest, most of us men don’t know the different types of fabrics. I mean up till a few years back, I wouldn’t have been able to tell cotton from cashmere. If that’s the case with you too then try learning by trying to get the feel of the fabric. You’ll realize that while wool is warm, it is also usually an itchy fabric so it can leave a rash if you have sensitive skin. Similarly, Cashmere feels incredibly soft on touching while silk feels luxurious, you feel the fabric before buying it and even if you can’t identify the material, you can always decide to not buy one that feels uncomfortable on touch.

• Choose The Right Size

Normal wear scarfs should neither be too short, nor too long. Scarfs come in unusual sizes and lengths, it all depends on how you wear it and transform its style. As a rule of thumb, it’s best that when you knot your scarf, it should be somewhere between your chest and your waistline.

• Do not Wear it Everyday

Yes, while we all love scarves, they are simply not the sort of accessory that you should wear every day or with every outfit. Moreover, when you wear them occasionally, they stand out more.

• Avoid Going For The Trends

Don’t buy a scarf just because it’s trendy, instead, choose one that is timeless. Because scarves aren’t something that you buy every day, moreover, we always discourage hoarding so one should buy smartly and choose quality over quantity. So invest in good quality scarves and in colors or patterns that you can wear for at least a couple of years.
