Shop the post: scarves, scarves and more f***ing scarves
Scarves are underrated. We don’t big them up nearly enough. But Fantastic Man (above and below) has recognised this oversight and given a whole feature to the combined joy and pragmatism of this unsung wardrobe hero.
I love a winter scarf. I have several classic fringed ones – The ancient Burberry check with its felted ‘boiled wool’ effect (after being accidentally shrunk in the wash); the two-tone Drakes; the camel Johnstons of Elgin, as big as a blanket. But there’s also a treasured hand knitted Scottish fairisle that’s so chunky it almost stands up on its own. The bigger ones are amazing for keeping icy gales at bay on one of *those* particularly blustery days when you feel the full wrath of the universe seemingly coming to get you.
And then there are the idiosyncratic fashion ones – Hades’ Narcissus print (below) and Stooges punky graphics (below), Toast’s jacquards* and Jo Gordon’s geometrics come to mind. Or the new guard of neck warmers – like these tweedy wool and cashmere knitted collars (below) that Britta from Balcon Preysing sent me on Instagram. The tweedy wool collars are handmade in Munich, while the cashmeres are produced by a small Italian manufacture. Being a former fashion editor, Britta understands the power of a knitted collar as a stylish but practical fashion accessory. In our damp and windy climate where you’ll easily wear your scarf for more than three months a year, you may as well choose one (or two) you truly love.
