Most days, they are really all I want/need to keep warm. It keeps the wind off of the back of my neck and the hat keeps my body heat in. I think it looks just fine with dressed up and down. Ok, the stocking cap, not so much with dressed up look but it’s still effective.

Note I said that Burberry has good scarves, go to a store and get something OTHER than the standard pattern.

And for the record I am in Minneapolis. But we are all a little insane up here. First time it gets in the 50’s in March we are all in shorts and t-shirts.

That said, I dispute the uncouthness in general. Scarves are for everyone.

Now to contradict myself, I think a pink Scarf is great. It’s so over the top that that people will be amused while you, yourself will stay nice and toasty.

If you have a Burberry store near you then go in and look at all of the different patterns, that way you don’t have to look like everyone else. I have a standard and then a grey pattern that doesn’t even have the trademark “I got this at Burberry” look.

My wife got it for me at Target, and I’ve never had a better one. I sure do miss that scarf.

And yeah, the method mentioned for tyeing the scarf (fold in half, blah blah) is good stuff, but will look like ugly if the scarf is a good thick knit type because the knot will bunch up under your chin. For those types of scarves, put it around your neck, with uneven tails. You want about 1/4th on one side, the rest on the other. Then, take the long side and wrap it _loosely_ around your neck until both tails are the same. Once both tails are the same, take the first end and push it over the wrapped scarf and down the side of your neck. Sounds complicated, but it ends up being _warm_ and looks good. Try it.
