Scarves

[rivegauche]

I usually wear a woman's scarf with a dress or skirt and at this time of year I really appreciate the warmth. Men's scarves are too scratchy and it would make a huge difference to male comfort if they accessed the range of scarves and wraps marketed to women. Though a few men go there it is still quite rare. You even see men (including this one) from time to time wearing one on his head.

You aren't referring to an Ascot - just a simple neck scarf to insulate the open flesh around the neck opening ?
Wrapped once and if long enough twice around loose ends left in the front or tucked in - - -

Heh. I have an absolutely exquisite silk scarf with beaded peacocks on it that I'm afraid to wear simply because it's so beautiful. Perhaps I need to screw up the courage to do so! (And not lose it, because it weighs practically nothing.)

Just be not wearing a scarf around moving machinery - least you become the end of your wearing said scarf
-OR-
spinning off yonder like a top

Wearing a turtle-neck or mock turtle-neck shirt would be a suitable replacement for the scarf but may be not so much in vogue.

I rarely wear scarves as a good turtleneck suits me just well.

I was thinking more of the long rectangular ones in soft - not necessarily silky - materials. I have plain and patterned ones. I tend to wear them loose of with a simple knot but there is a huge variety of ways of tying them. I only have a couple of square ones and these are the ones I wear as a Man in a Skirt - tied at the back of the head pirate style, not under the chin. I am rarely near machinery in my life and would be very wary of doing an Isadora Duncan. Not too keen on polo necks or turtle necks - and if it gets too warm the scarf can be removed or tied differently. Scarves, wraps and cardigans allow layering more easily than conventional male clothing.

I own three separate so-called 'Foil Scarves'.

They are incredibly warm given how thin the material is. They can add to the overall look when wearing a Dress.

They also help to conceal my rather large Adam's Apple.

I think I have three scarves. My mom made each of them...

What is the difference between a "womens scarf" and a "men's scarf"?

Google images has them looking about the same to me.

Anyway, I usually only wear them when it gets REALLY cold, but boy to they hold the heat in!

The women’s scarf wraps to the left, while the men’s wraps to the right .

I like the joke. Scarves marketed to women tend to be in softer material and in a wider range of colours. They also come in a wider range of shapes and sizes so all in all they are more versatile.
