The Men's Check Scarf

Men pay less attention to accessories; they care much more about convenience and comfort than about fashion and beauty. So they often choose simple scarves that do not go with the main items of their clothing. However, a well-chosen scarf can make a man's look more elegant and attractive.

One of the classic men's accessories is the check scarf. It always looks stylish and original. A check scarf suits both business and casual settings. When choosing such a scarf, it is better not to economise but to buy a high-quality item from a well-known manufacturer. It will serve you for many years and will never go out of fashion. For example, a men's scarf of natural down of Orenburg goats, factory-made.

Self-confident men prefer a scarf in the Scottish Tartan check. It is made of natural wool, soft to the touch and does not prickle at all. These scarves come in bright colours that harmoniously combine black, red, blue and white. Thanks to the many colours of the knitted accessory, it is enough to find an item in one of these colours in your wardrobe, and a harmonious look is guaranteed.

What to wear a men's check scarf with

A check scarf is best combined with plain things. You should not wear check with printed fabrics. Long fringe gives the Tartan scarf extravagance. This scarf can be worn with one end thrown over the shoulder. You can fold the stylish accessory in half and wear it under a jacket, wrapped around the neck. A tightly wound scarf will save you from the cold, while a loosely tied one will give your look ease and charm. A knitted scarf can be worn both under a coat and over a jacket.

How to tie a men's scarf

There are several ways to tie scarves: the Parisian knot, the simple single and double knot, the fake knot. Both conservative men and born innovators will be able to choose the most acceptable option.

There are several taboos to keep in mind when wearing a men's scarf.

• Under no circumstances should the item's label be visible; it is better to cut it off carefully.
• The colour, style and texture of the scarf and clothing should harmonise with each other.
• Do not tie the scarf in a knot at the front with the ends spread out – this has long been out of fashion.

           

If you are unsure about choosing a scarf, you can ask stylists for help. Specialists' recommendations will help make your look perfect and choose the necessary accessories competently, including the scarf. At the same time, you should not forget the scarf's main purpose: it must protect the neck and chest from wind and cold. A high-quality, expensive scarf will emphasise a man's independence and respectability.

Care specifics

A down scarf, like any other item of clothing, needs proper and regular care. Sooner or later your scarf will need washing. It is recommended to wash a down item by hand, in warm water no hotter than 35 degrees, using a special wool powder or baby soap. Colourless shampoo will also do. After washing and rinsing, the scarf should be lightly squeezed without stretching its fabric and laid out damp along its full length on a large dry towel spread on a flat surface (floor, table). When the towel gets wet, it should be changed.

Under no circumstances dry a knitted scarf on a radiator or a clothesline; such drying can lead to irreversible consequences, spoiling the look of your favourite accessory.
