Scarves Are a Great Fashion Accessory
When it comes to fashion women seem to have the upper hand. Perhaps it’s because they pay closer attention to the “must have” fashions of the season. This can leave men feeling a bit lost when it comes to knowing how to accessorize their look. Scarves have always been a must have fashion accessory. With so many different styles and colours available it can be a bit overwhelming to the first time shopper. Here are some tips for men that may help them decide on that perfect scarf.
How to Choose a Scarf for your Height
For men that are excessively tall, a patterned scarf will help to balance out the frame. This works best for men with longer legs and smaller upper bodies. As with shorter men, the scarf travels just below the hip will serve to elongate the upper body. A nice patterned scarf will keep the eyes focused on the upper body and thus create the illusion of ideal proportions. Darker colors will also help to this end.
Choosing the Right Fabric for a Scarf
Because the scarf tends to rest directly on the sensitive and soft skin of the neck, it is important to find a material that offers ideal levels of comfort. Many of the warmer styles tend to be a blend of cashmere and wool. However, for many people selecting an all wool scarf does not provide optimal comfort, especially when it is used as a wrap rather than rested against the lapel. A great option are scarves made of Alpaca wool. Alpaca scarves provide the warmth of wool and are softer when placed next to the skin.
There are numerous other fabric blends to choose from. For lighter wear it is also possible to get men’s scarves that are 100% silk or an easy to clean silk blend. Online research can help you find the retailers that have received the best ratings and reviews from consumers for offering quality products with lasting fashion appeal.
