It’s an insurgence of a recurring trend that hasn’t been taken seriously until now: Scarves. For men. And it used to be you could tell what was made for guys. Once neckwear was only reserved for Boy Scouts and barnstorming pilots, but this summer was different.
A few months back, we were in Swell, and owner Heather Fenstermaker marveled at the work one of her employees. She had taken what was categorized as a womens’ scarf and placed it on a male mannequin in the window. We all stood with our head to one side and wondered what the world would think. Flash forward today, and that scarf is out of stock. Also, there’s been a growing trend on what guys put around their necks.
The big takeaways is that it appears that “simple is better”, but that’s not how I remember it.

I think a scarf says…yah I’ll fly to Paris or sure my parents are paying my way through college but I hate the volvo my mom gave me…or even look at me I like Nightmare before Christmas and don’t injest enough Vitamins on a daily basis during their spots of tea and have slight scurvey as a result …scarfs=scurvey, KIM – I am allergic to most scarves and my neck pretty much blends with my shoulders, my GF teases me and says I have a “back neck” so maybe a scarf can hide my shame? I would also suggest selling scarfs with frickin laser beams for raving purposes at coffee shops … assuming a rave breaks out, they also make mediocre/lousy back scratchers if your arms can’t reach the small of your back, sidenote: for those whom cannot properly grow facial hair a scarf makes a great substitute for your GF’s Mountain man fantasty (so I’ve heard)
I have to say, Tom Baker is quite possibly the manliest man you could ever find wearing a scarf.
