Men’s Crinkle Scarves

This fall/winter, long scarves are in for women (see my post here).  But, what about for men?  Crinkle scarves are what men should be wearing this season to keep warm.

Now, guys, do you know what a crinkle scarf is?  It is simple really- is just a scarf made out of fabric that is crinkled in an accordion-like fashion.  The crinkle detail gives the scarf more texture, interest and updates a timeless accessory.

Scarves can be worn with a jacket, either tied and tucked in the front or just draped around your shoulders.  You can also wear a scarf draped over your shoulders with only a sweater.  Do not be intimidated by this look; it is very contemporary and modern to wear a scarf this way.

There is still some cold weather left, so try a crinkle scarf this winter and keep wearing it through the cool spring nights.

Length Matters in Scarves

This season, long scarves are on trend.  In fact, the longer the better, so go long or don’t go at all!

Scarves have been popular for the past few years, even lightweight scarves made it into our spring wardrobes.  This fall/winter, scarves go the extra mile with added fabric.  The extra length is more dramatic and gives your wardrobe an updated look without much effort.

Wear a long scarf with skinny jeans, jeggings or leggings draped over your shoulders for a dramatic look.  If you wrap the scarf loosely wrapped around you neck several times, it will look more polished, and be work appropriate.

Think of a long scarf as a light extra layer- like a light jacket.  Instead of wearing a cardigan or light jacket, wear an extra long scarf.

This accessory is eye catching, so it isn’t necessary to wear a statement hat or large jewelry.  See, this is such a simple piece?!
