Out of everything that fashion encompasses, the small details are the hardest to pull off the right way, especially when it comes to hats and scarves for men.
At Perk, we don’t want you to feel confused about any aspect of your outfit, and we want to make sure you look good. That’s why we’ve put together this guide - so you can figure out how to wear a scarf and how to wear a hat with chinos, t-shirts, and more.
All About Men’s Scarves
Scarves are some of the most versatile accessories available, since there are so many styles, patterns, fabrics, and colors. They’re a great way to add personality to your look and a bit of warmth at the same time - especially regarding men’s fall fashion.
Fall isn’t the only season for scarves. They can work for men’s summer fashion, too, by keeping the sun off your neck. But while they’re a perfect accessory when it comes to function, styling them isn’t always straightforward.
How do men wear scarves stylishly?
Looking fashionable while rocking a scarf depends on your outfit. There are all sorts of ways that you can style your scarf, but we find that starting with a base of chinos and a t-shirt is both safe and stylish.
The Denim Jacket
When you wear a scarf, you don’t have to head out to a formal event. Scarves for men can be worn for all types of occasions, including a casual night out in a denim jacket and a slim pair of Perk’s chinos. If you keep your outfit simple with a t-shirt under your denim, you might choose to wear a patterned scarf with it to create some visual interest.
The Sweater
Wearing a scarf with a sweater is straightforward and easy-peasy. By choosing a wool scarf in a dark color to layer over a light-colored sweater, you make a statement and look slick at the same time. Finish off this outfit with a pair of chinos and, if it’s especially chilly, a t-shirt underneath your top layer.
The T-Shirt
Adding a scarf to your simple t-shirt outfit is a great way to amp up your casual style. Get out your favorite pima cotton t-shirt and pair a lightweight scarf with it, and your outfit will go from mediocre to something that sticks out - in a good way!
The Coat
The coat is what brings men’s fall fashion to life. Pairing a classy trench coat with a wool scarf will achieve the statement you’ve been trying to make at work, and put you one step closer to receiving that promotion. (While we can’t promise a promotion, we can promise you’ll be the best-dressed person in the office.)
All About Hats for Men
There are a lot of men who are wary about wearing hats, and we can see why. It’s very easy to make a mistake when it comes to this accessory, but we’re here to make sure that you get it right.
There are a lot of hat styles to choose from, and we’re going to go over a few of the most popular so you understand how to style them in your day-to-day life.
The Bucket Hat
Back from the 90s, the bucket hat is the king of streetwear - but you don’t have to get totally decked out in order to make this hat look good. If anything, opt for an ultra-casual look that includes a classic t-shirt, chinos, and summer knitwear. This would be the perfect look for men’s summer fashion.
The Beanie
If the bucket hat is the king of casualwear, then the beanie has to be the prince. While it’s often worn in the winter to keep the average guy’s head warm, its purpose goes far beyond function. One way to make your beanie look its best is by pairing it with an outfit that has structure. Since the beanie is known for its relaxed and slouchy vibe, counteracting that aesthetic with something put-together creates a nice harmony for the outfit.
The Baseball Cap
Even though the baseball cap was originally invented to shield baseball players’ eyes from the sun, it’s taken on a whole new life in the modern age. These hats look great with a sporty style, no matter what material you choose. You’ll also find that these hats look their best when incorporated into a casual outfit that highlights chinos, but is offset with a formal piece like an oxford shirt or a deconstructed blazer. There are plenty of ways to make the baseball cap style completely your own.
