Lightweight scarves are one of the seasons best kept secrets. Beyond adding color and texture to a summer outfit, they are indispensable for places like air-conditioned offices, restaurants and movie theaters. And, we assure you, there is a masculine way to pull them off. Four looks to try after the jump.
This is a look straight from our Key West-inspired summer collection. If you’re working with an ultra-thin fabric or a bandanna, why not roll it into a neckerchief and tie it in the front, Hemingway style.
The longer the scarf, the easier to throw it over your shoulder in this basic loop.
Unlike chunky winter-wool counterparts, summer-weight scarves can wrap multiple times around your neck, without swallowing your head in the process.
To add even more personality or a stylish accent, you can layer up two scarves. Keep in mind that there should be a subtle contrast in color or pattern, as this allows the complementary fabrics to stand out.
