How to tie a men's scarf? 2 right ways

Are you wondering how to tie a men's scarf, searching online for 100 different methods, and still unsure which one to choose? We’ve got good news for you.In our opinion, the Internet suggests way too many ideas on how to tie men's scarves, but in reality, there are only two good ways. What are they and why? Let us explain.

Method 1: Elegant

In our view, this is definitely the best way to tie a men's scarf.

Simply drape the scarf around your neck and lay the ends over your chest. The chest is the key word here because keeping your heart warm means more warmth for your entire body.

If you have a scarf made of high-quality wool (you can buy virgin wool scarves with the perfect weave and size here: mens scarves), you’ll have no trouble staying warm even at lower temperatures (around 5 degrees Celsius, a wool blazer might even suffice instead of a coat).

In this version, the scarf subtly peeks out, showing off its color and pattern. This way, you can add some life to your outfit, introduce a new color to your look, and stand out among those who don't understand the power of accessories.

Did you know…

Men's wool scarves made of so-called virgin wool (wool from the first shearing of a sheep's life) are very thin yet extremely warm. By choosing this kind of scarf, you’ll not only stay genuinely warm but also avoid a thick layer around your neck. A bulky, protruding knot is neither comfortable nor particularly stylish.

Method 2: The Italian

The first method, the so-called elegant one, could equally be called the warming method because the wool rests on your heart, protecting it from the cold. The second method, the so-called Italian one, can be described as the sealing method.

In this case, we’re not focusing on warmth but on shielding yourself from wind or rain.To tie this, simply fold the scarf in half, then pull the two loose ends through the loop and gently tighten. The scarf should fit snugly around your neck, but not too tight, ensuring both comfort and freedom of movement.

In this style, we assume it’s cold outside, you’re already wearing several layers, and the scarf isn’t meant to add another layer (as in the elegant tying method), but to protect you from air entering from the neck area under your coat or jacket.
