STYLE Scarfs: What's good, where to get them, etc

[Hisma]

Someone educate me on scarfs. I think they look pretty pimp for cold weather, but I've never really lived anywhere cold enough to require one.

Since I'll be living in Switzerland a few months, I'm thinking of copping a few to prepare for the cold.

Post good examples, places to buy em etc.

not bad
I would have no clue what style to get, how to tie them etc. I know it's popular fashion w/ the gays, so something that looks good in a heterosexual kinda way would be nice

with traditional scarves, i think this is the best day to tie them (though not as puffy in the neck area

when you are in europe, come visit me in germany! you can get really nice scarves at turkish shops for only a few euro. super cheap but look expensive

 

[Hisma]

oh? I'll have to drop you a line then. Switzerland is right on the border of Germany.
I'm expecting everything in Europe to be expensive, so I'll try to stock up before I go (about 2.5 weeks from today)

don't tie the scarf too tightly, keep it a bit loose to avoid the gay look

^ those actually look real badass on the models. I dont know if i'd drop that kinda $$ on my first scarf, but if I find out the look works for me I'd have no problem kopping one in the future

I love my Dunderdon scarf. Great quality and relatively inexpensive compared to other designer stuff. Here's the one I have:

I have a Hermes one that's really warm. I highly recommend.

easily my favourite accessory. i was worried about the metro-ness of it when i first started wearing them, but i was younger and it didnt seem so common then either. it was perfect though, it grew on me immediately. tshirt + med weight jacket + scarf = perfect for 5-10*C.

i look forward to scarf weather every year

I really like the look of a good scarf and have several. But it's really hard to wear one unless you live in a place where you actually walk around outdoors for extended period of time. Not here in Atlanta...unfortunately. As soon as I put on a scarf I am in the car, and as soon as I get out of the car I am indoors again someplace.

If you are going to Europe, just buy a scarf there. Preferably something hard to get elsewhere.

I'm knitting a scarf right now, silk/cashmere, will post pics when finished
