[tps_header][/tps_header]Since ancient times, men have worn scarves to keep warm, to signal political allegiance, military rank or fashion savvy.
Scarves have long been popular among militaries as a way to help keep soldiers warm and also signify military rank. Both Chinese warriors and Croatian soldiers wore scarves as a means of signifying rank. Soldiers and officers in countries as diverse as Egypt, Russia, New Zealand and the UK wear scarves, keffiyehs, mufflers and other types of neck warmers as part of their uniforms. Aviators and naval men are known for their flying neck pennants and almost every soccer fan in Europe bundles up with his team’s favorite colors before heading out to the stadium.
A well-chosen scarf can add interest and color to any men’s suit. Try the Classic Navy Cashmere Scarf with the Stone Prince of Wales Suit and Blue Twill Tie for a stylish and strong office look.
There are many ways to wrap a scarf but some of our favorites include:
The Ascot Knot – wrap the scarf around your neck, knot it close to your neck in the front and the ends should hang perfectly one on top of the other.
The Parisian Knot – Fold the scarf in half and wrap it around your neck. Pull the scarf ends through the loop. Pull the loop toward your neck while pulling the ends down and then adjust until the ends are hanging a bit uneven.
The Fake Knot – Tie a knot into one end of the scarf, drape around your neck and then slip the loose end through the knot and tighten up.
The Cowboy Knot – Great for square scarves and keffiyah. Fold the scarf in half on the diagonal, lay against your neck with the ends at the back and then tie into a knot. If the scarf is very long, drape the loose ends back over your shoulders toward the front.
