Scarves for Men and Women

by Erin Singh Leave a Comment

Scarves; a woman’s accessory you say?  Far from it!  Scarves have been unisex for the past 2000 years.  They are changeable; meaning they can be worn in various ways to give your outfits a different look.

Of all the fabrics used these days alpaca, angora, cotton and silk are amongst the favored for scarf making.  All scarves come in different shapes and lengths to accommodate your needs.

There are many ways of wearing scarves, so be original and create your own style.  Silk is a green eco-friendly fabric which will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter.   Silk is no longer as expensive as it once was; therefore you can wear your silk scarf without that hefty price tag.

Searching online, I have come across some wonderful alpaca/angora/cotton and silk scarves for men and women which are 100% natural and dyed with non-toxic dyes.  Of course, alpaca fibers are not dyed as the colors are naturally bred.

History of Scarves

As early as 230BC through to 1700AD, men wore scarves.  Chinese Emperor Cheng’s warriors wore cloth scarves to signify their rank.  Emperor Nero wore a Sudarium (sweat cloth) around his neck and Croatian men wore Kravata’s which the French men thought were ‘cool’ and sported them too.

They called them ‘Cravats’ and wore different colors to show their political preferences.  Cowboys wore bandanas/neckerchiefs in the 1800’s and ‘Flower Power’ in the 1970’s saw men wearing scarves around their necks and across their foreheads.

My mother told me that in the 1970’s men (21 yrs and older) were not allowed in Discotheques (nightclubs) wearing a shirt without a tie.  If they wanted entry, they had to hire a Cravat to wear and at the end of the night (midnight) they returned it to get a part refund.

Boy scouts wear scarves as well as rappers. Hollywood men are rivaling with actresses on the fashion stakes where scarves are concerned. Men in certain cultures wear scarves in wedding or religious ceremonies.
