Recommend me some nice scarves for winter

[DJ_Flame]

Well I'm no expert when it comes to scarves.

so enlighten me, what should i go for in scarves? materials, etc?

[minya]

I got a Nice Collective scarf with an awesome camo print made out of "cashwool" (cashmere/wool blend). Very comfy, and I'm guessing (well, hoping) very warm, too.

[triniboy27]

This may sound obvious but make sure you get something that's not itchy...like some wools itch the hell out of me and having that around my neck/face in the winter isn't fun...

[M4TM]

get some paul smith.

anything cashmere is good. frankly, it doesn't make that much of the difference with the brand. it's only there to keep your neck warm, unless like the polo-collar-flipper-upper people...you wear it outside of your jacket collar...

might get some hatred from this, but i gotta big up J.Crew's new take on accessory shit like scarves, grosgrain belts, and the like. the gap too, but for really nice colors and quality shit that they'll stand by, without emptying your wallet, check the new j.crew catalogue.

have your girlfriend knit you one. knitting is all the rage nowadays.

look out for good quality and don't go for the super expensive designer shit that's not worth your money

wear this with some camo gear or some of the nom de guerre arabic print stuff and you're all set

[hahnstch]

to tell you the truth, NDG has their own arabic scarf too... for $145

[obladi]

If you want like a plain scarf I'd say go to like Barneys and pick up one of their department scarfs. They usually run like 100 for merino wool, like 200 for cashmere and they come in a large assortment of colors. You can get them on sale alot of times also. Especially in warehouse sales and end of season sales.

If you want like a big branded scarf, D&G seems really popular. If anything, I recommend varvatos. I got a "cashwool" varvatos scarf for christmas and it is super soft. I love it.

genemachine,

is that a head scarf? where can i get a good one? do you think any arabs would be offended by someone wearing one of those as a neckscarf?

camo is DEAD. that outfit is seriously retarded. if you wore that 'scarf' with like, flat front pants and a black m65 it would be kinda fresh. but still, that thing is pretty overdone.

Seriously, the whole Palestine scarf thing was like spring/summer 2004. You're guys are not serious are you??

Instead, get something made of (expensive) wool/cajmere - grey or dark colors. Keep it simple, warm and subtle.

i like that scarf. i already have a plain black.

"whaah...that was last year's hot trend, waaaaah."

"you can't be serious with that taste of yours...it's soooo ONE year ago..."

waaah, waaah waah.

if you like it, rock it. sometimes shit gets so ubiquitous that it stays fresh. camo ain't dead, it could never be dead. everyone on some level loves camo whether they admit it or not. if anything is 'dead' it's people trying to convince everyone around them that THEY have the dopest tastes. get over yourself. if anyone on this site was really a fresh designer, they'd be out there designing, not talking about what to wear and what not to wear.

"arab print" scarves (they're called shimagh scarves, or as the American military calls them..."Osama's") are great...if not for the fashion aspect, then pure functionality. they weren't any 'cooler' last year than they were this year, or two years ago for that matter. they been getting love from the five percenter brooklyn hiphop sect since...oh, i don't know...around 1982. they keep you cool in the desert sun (doesn't apply to most of you britfag queens), and warm in the winter. and they're usually long and not itchy. you can wrap once, twice, cover your head, neck, grill. them shits are really long sometimes.

instead of looking at overused outfits *"wear it with an M65!* (snore) and regurgitating the same too-often-recycled styles of the last 5-10 years, get creative, do what you feel, and if you like it, incorporate it into your own style.

shimagh + peacoat + ugly cords + hightop Pony's could equal something magical if you simply have a sense of self. stop caring about following the trends and go cop good items. camo had endless possibilities, as do accessories oft associated with certain looks (i.e. shimagh scarves with military garb).

oh, and for any suckers paying $145 for a shimagh at NDG...they never go for more than $10 if you know where to look.

^^Sweet man, good write up...backing up with some facts, always good to see

[Circa]

Good post ^^^ someone needed to finally say it. Too many uninformed, boring and BS unoriginal opinions dominating this board as of late.

BTW the look goes back even further than '82 however, '70s punks were rocking them also. Guess that's where all the labels these days are mining their styles from.

[hiphopisdead]

A shemagh is 12 bucks in NYC. LES has arab vendors near the Recon store, I purchased one back in March and they look straight fire. In the case you dont find vendors in the LES area, hop on a train to 29st and broadway, arab street vendors GALORE.

fugetaboutit!

[soleindahole]

im from the bay area. we dont have much arab shops around here.

[giantreptile]

A: have girlfriend learn how to knit.

B: pick out wool type and color.

C: wait approx. 1 week for girlfriend to make scarf.

D: wear scarf.
