Dudes wearing scarves

    What do you think? I'm talking about wearing a scarf just over either a jumper or t shirt, not with your coat. I'm a bit partial to it.

    I'm going to pretend the PLO scarf look doesn't exist so I'm not including that. But I do like a good scarf wrapped around my neck, when I'm wearing a t shirt, I think its a good look and also keeps you cosy. Doesn't necessarily have to be a wool scarf; I quite like one I have which is a big soft cotton one, like wearing a t shirt!

    Well?

    Well?

    No offence meant here - are you gay? Cause it's a bit of a stereotypical gay look.
    I mean, scarves are just hassle really. You wear them when it's cold and put them away when you don't need them.

    I'd be confused by someone wearing it with a T-Shirt...Scarves are for when you're really cold, don't think they are an extra accessory.

    🤪

    No I'm not gay but I know what you mean...I like to play around with stereotypes, like mixing punk with preppy. The scarf thing, I just think its a nice look, as an accessory. Now I don't go around the house with one on, but if I'm out and wearing one I might not take it off. I see plenty of guys do the same, and they're not gay either. Its like wearing a hat or jewellery or something.

    It is one of least favourite looks for men in bars. It looks awful when they've taken their jacket off and have left the scarf on. Yuck! :rolleyes:

    The PLO/Keffiyeh scarf look is for muppets alright, culturally and politically ignorant. If you want to look the real deal head off to the Middle East tomorrow, don't wear a highstreet knock-off.

    Myself, I'd always wear a scarf in winter. Nice tartan Hibernian F.C (No team markings, just the colours) Tartan scarf from Edinburgh thats all lovely and lambswool and Scottish. The other is a plain black Fred Perry, small laurel on the bottom. MASSSSSSIVE scarf, this time of year its a godsend. They look good too. Agree theres a time to take them OFF though!

    Best of luck taking either away from me ;)

    I'd hazard that you're possibly reading too much into it if you're seeing it as a political statement.

    Pet hates of mine #425: Men wearing a scarf tied with a European loop (especially with no jacket on).

    If you had a silk scarf over your t-shirt you might pull it off, but it would still look better with a jacket over it, mod-style. But please, whatever the scarf, tie it right.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,287 ✭✭✭✭ntlbell


    Partial to a nice scarf under my coat.

    There's nothing more retarded looking than some idiot in a T-shirt and a fecking scarf!....

    it's like going out in shorts and a duffel coat wtf like

    it's either cold enough for coat+scarf

    or warm enough for a t-shirt...

    work it out like..

    I'm loving all these comments! :-)

    BTW, is a European style when you double it over and then loop it through? Some scarves work best that way, and some scarves work best done in a "mod" style, I know what ya mean.

    Its a modern Cliche Guevara
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keffiyeh#Westerners_in_keffiyeh

    It IS a political symbol, that may have been depoliticised over time because it became a piece of mainstream Western culture. The vast majority of the scarves are made in China and not Palestine, they look ridicolous and shouldv'e died a death with the 'military look' that nobody really misses...

    Yep.

    Some scarves work best that way

    No they don't. Ever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,138 ✭✭✭eviltimeban


    Well 90% of men and women walking around have their scarves tied that way...

    I think the last word on the subject should be....:

    It's up to us 10% to put them right in their way.

    This is why statistics are broken.

    im laughing hard at these comments....

    ok a scarf on a man:

    yes: if to be worn with a jacket and shirt - literally for its purpose.
    no: if to be worn in as seen in the pics above. nothing worse than a feminine looking man!!!

    I wear my scarves with the so-called 'European loop'. Anybody who thinks too much about scarf tying preferences may have too much time on their hands.

    Wouldn't really wear one without a jacket myself but each to their own. If you want to wear it, do it. No need to seek permission from others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭johnk123


    I wear scarfs a lot but never with a t-shirt only. But that said, it could look great on some people and if you wanna chance it..... go for it!

    Anyone remember "Pete" from eastenders years ago, he used to tie his footy scarf like a neck tie, now he'd be turning in his fictional grave if he saw the young folk of today with their fancy european knots and scarves with t-shirts..

    Although I started not taking my scarf off when indoors recently through chronic laziness/ the cold, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I looked like a dope!! Ah well, we do have a lot of time on our hands don't we!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,925 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    If I'm cold I'll wear a jacket. I've a fairly decent one so there's no need for any scarf..

    I don't come up with this things on my own, shockingly enough.:rolleyes:


    The scarf joins the German military jacket look, Che cap and Baader Meinhof t-shirt on the long list of 'no seriously, how the **** did that happen?' I remember seeing actual Palestinians laugh at Central Bank kids wearing them before a demo there a few weeks back, mega lols.
