Fall Essential 4: Scarves for Men!

Alright Men!! Today is Wednesday so you know what that means, you get your fashion tip for the week!

Since we are still in our Fall Essential Series we are going to let y'all in on how to wear scarves for this fast approaching winter!

Now, personally we don't see many guys around here wearing scarves and we want to change that. Scarves are not only a piece of fabric to keep your neck warm but they are amazing accessories that you can add to just about any outfit. So stay tuned and learn how to incorporate these scarves into your already AMAZING [well if not yet..soon to be, keep following us ; ) ] wardrobe!! 

The infinity scarf is amazing! They're very versatile and honestly we feel like they keep you the warmest in the neck area. They are not the complicated and they can really add just that little extra umph! that you need to make your outfit come alive. Now we were not able to find a celebrity man wearing one (tsk tsk) but we do have this model sporting one. In what looks to be the makes of a casual outfit. We think that this scarf would do best with the casual outfits anyways. Throw on a causal long sleeve tee, with a cardigan or jacket over top (it's cold out)..select an infinity scarf such as this one with added texture, and some khakis, cargos, or even some sweats...you decide and to keep those feet warm but on some winter boots. Simple. It's not too complicated and it will keep you looking stylish and warm at the same time.

Now, we know some of you may be a little confused as to how these scarves really work. So stay tuned for our video post this week and we are going to show exactly how these scarves work!

Moving right along to your ordinary long scarf. Here we have Mr. Jay-Z wearing a black and white checkered scarf. As you can see he has it knotted in a different fashion rather than the plain wrap around the neck look. Anyways...He really used this scarf to dress up this look. He has on a deep grey cowl neck sweater, some dark dress pants, with a checkered blazer on as well. If we must say, Jigga looks quite debonair in this picture and it does not take much at all to recreate.

Starting off with these dark charcoal dress pants, you can really go anywhere. Put on a dark sweater similar to Jay-Z's or try a lighter color to contrast against the color of the pants. Either way it'll look great. Next throw on a heavy blazer (this one is pricey, stop by goodwill you can find some nice ones for cheap!) , just so that the need of a coat is very slight. Top this off with this amazing burgundy or blue scarf. It still has the checkered print that Mr. Man to the left has, but in a brighter color to give you a little more flare. And then you're ready to go. . Oh yeah! don't forget to throw on your oxfords to add some personality to this outfit as well!

Taking this exact look to the casual side takes two things:
1. Change your dress pants to jeans
and 2. Put on some lace up boots and you're ready to go to class or any other casual event!

And to conclude this post, here we have Mr. Beckham!
Now fellas, if you are looking for someone to look at for some style inspiration when it comes to scarves, David has it in the bag! This man loves scarves...don't believe us check this google search of David Beckham in a scarf. As you can see he has the scarves game in the bag. But for this last look we are going to look at how to wear your scarf in the "bib" type fashion. Also known as the gangster or western look.

If you look, it looks as though Mr. Beckham through on his scarf around a military inspired green colored shirt, with some light colored jeans. We aren't able to see the shoes (darn! just like the other two examples today) but we assume that he had on maybe some converse, boots, or even some dress shoes. Whichever one he went with we know that they looked the bomb.

Replicating this look, is far from complicated as well. Take a shirt similar to D.B.'s and some light washed jeans. Throw on some converse like these, put on a scarf similar to this color and shrugs....you're ready to go! There's nothing really to it. Now because of the styling of the shirt and the light wash of the jeans we put this look in the category of dressy-casual. It's not too dressy to wear he looks like he's going to a ball and it's not too casual as though he's going to the grocery store. This is the type of look that is acceptable at just about all social college events.

Now we know that this post was very vague and we left a lot of room for self-interpretation, but that's all we can really give you when it comes to scarves. Considering that they are an accessory it is kind of up to the person what they want to do with it. However, if you are concerned with how to get your scarves tied different type of ways we have that covered for you. As stated earlier watch out for an instructional video on how to wear your scarves being posted this week!

Just remember when it comes to your selection and wearing of scarves:

1. Try and pick colors that others normally stray away from*

2. Try an interesting print, do something bold*

3. Wear it with confidence, there is a select number of men who wear scarves so if you do make sure you rock it with confidence.

4. As always, keep it simple if all else fails. (i.e. a tee, some jeans, tennis shoes, and a scarf)

* If you go with a bright color or bold print, keep the rest of your outfit simple. Don't over do it with the prints and colors in the rest of your outfit if you are going to do a loud scarf. This will allow your scarf to really be an added piece to the look, versus something that is just blending in with the rest of your outfit.

Hope this post was helpful and we hope that you enjoyed it! Be sure to comment and leave questions if you have them. Also if you wear a scarf as a result of this post..take a pic and shout us out!! lol

Enjoy this great accessory and don't forget to add some swag!
