Good as Gold: Pashmina Scarves for Dapper Dudes

Pashmina—for those not privy to the term—is a scarf made from the finest cashmere. Coming from a Persian word that means ‘soft gold’, this wool scarf feels as luxurious as it looks. Donning one of these plush pashmina scarves is to tie the very essence of sophistication around your neck.

Not for just tossing on with your winter windbreaker, pair this scarf with a dapper jacket or fine sweater for a look that is as good as gold.

Open and Out

A layer that can protect you from a brisk breeze without the extra bulk, the trench is the gentleman’s answer to tricky inter-season outerwear. Accent the long lines of this coat when you wear your scarf simply draped around your neck for a style that adds dimension and texture, as well as offers the option for wrapping up if the weather takes a turn for the worst.

One and Done

Bundle up in your overcoat for outerwear that means business. A dapper jacket that can stand up to your suit, style your scarf in an equally sophisticated manner. Taking inspiration from the ascot, tie your Pashmina scarf around your neck and tuck it in your coat. The soft fabric will protect you neck from the itchy wool of your lapel and help trap your body heat.

The Wrap Around

Casual jackets with prominent decor, like a duffle or pea coat, shouldn’t be covered up so instead, wind your scarf around your neck. A plaid of printed scarf will give your military jackets a more formal feel while the piled on approach will keep it from looking pretentious against these humble backdrops

Slip Knot

On a cool day that doesn’t call for much more than a sweater, slip on your scarf for an unfussy second layer. The thin scarf will keep you cozy without making you overheat. Keep the volume to a minimum to avoid looking top heavy by looping your scarf and pulling the ends through.

Wrap yourself up in a luxurious pashmina scarf and enjoy a new golden era of outerwear.
