Aviator scarf: a men’s and women’s guide to wearing silk scarves
A silk aviator scarf can be dainty and dainty, but for a growing number of fashion-conscious men, that’s certainly not a reason that only women can wear it. In fact, wearing a silk scarf is a growing trend in men’s fashion, adding masculine charm and sophistication to a simple outfit.
Scarves, in general, are versatile accessories. For one, you can tie them in various ways. Here are some basic techniques for tying silk scarves so you can get the most out of them: For a casual look, simply fold a silk scarf in half and tie a bow by pulling both ends. You can also wrap a silk scarf around your neck several times and tuck both ends so that they are not visible. Just tossing a long silk scarf around your neck once can add a dramatic effect to your attraction without going overboard.
A popular style for tying silk scarves is known as a kerchief. To do this, wrap a scarf around your neck as you would when you are making a tie with the ends of the scarf facing away from you. Now pull down on the left end so that it is a few inches longer than the right end. Wrap the left end of the scarf around the right. Repeat this step a second time, then take the left end and tuck it into the loop as far as you can see it in front of you. Adjust the ascot so that the top flap flows down while the rest underneath is kept out of sight.
If you have just discovered the charm of silk scarves and are not sure which scarf to wear with what, you will never go wrong with scarves in solid colors and simple patterns. Another great tip for first-time shoppers is to keep your wardrobe in mind. Look for a silk scarf that creates a nice contrast when you put it next to the shirts or suits you have. In addition, you would also benefit from having silk scarves of different weights or mixed with other fabrics. A wool-silk blend scarf is perfect for evening wear or during cold months, while lightweight silk scarves are ideal for indoor use or in warm weather.
Silk scarves come in so many designs, so your options are surely not limited. If you are looking for something unique, you can choose an oriental silk scarf that incorporates beautiful calligraphy into the design and has a fringe for added accent.
You can wear it on both sides and it is long enough that you can let it hang loosely from your neck with the ends flowing down in front of you. You can also wear a Harvard silk scarf this way because this variety is quite long too.
Other popular designs that you might want to add to your silk scarf collection are the navy blue Oxford inspired scarves with satin threads and the Ivy League inspired scarves in dark red and black. These are classic designs that bring a timeless style to your wardrobe.
Perhaps the most popular item in men’s scarves today is the silk aviator scarf, which has beautiful fringes and is wider and longer than a typical scarf. One side is folded lengthwise over the other so it appears to have two layers. White aviator scarves are the best sellers but they are also available in black. It looks great paired with just about anything from a leather jacket to a denim coat to a business suit.
From scarves with traditional designs to those with fringes, unusual lengths, edgy patterns and surprisingly bright colors, you will find the perfect silk scarves to match your style. And whether you’re feeling daring or just want a touch of style, the right kind of silk scarf worn and tied properly is the perfect accessory.
