How to wear men’s merino wool scarves
Men's merino wool scarves are the ones that stay on. A simple knot at the throat under a coat holds all day and never needs adjusting; left in a loose drape down the front of an open overcoat it reads more easily and shows the fall of a 120-gram cloth. Worn flat inside a jacket the fabric is fine enough to disappear at the neck, which is where the weight matters: there is nothing to unwind when a room turns warm.
Navy, charcoal, light grey and camel sit beneath tailoring and ask nothing of the outfit. Burgundy, orange and dark green are worth wearing against something plain. Wash by hand below 30°C in a wool detergent, press the water out rather than wringing it, and dry flat away from direct heat. Aired between wears, men's merino wool scarves keep their handle and their colour for years.
