When it comes to scarves, there are so many different lengths that you might find when shopping. Having a scarf that's just around 70 inches long is usually the ideal length. Now, unless you need the excess length for your height if you're a very tall gentleman, stay away from scarves that fall too far below your waist. At Fort Belvedere, we extensively tested various scarf sizes to find the one just right for you. The most common size is 150 centimeters by 30 centimeters which is 60 inches by 12 inches and we found that this was simply too short for most men which resulted in insufficient protection. Now, larger versions or 180 centimeters by 35 centimeters, now while we like the length, we found that the width started to feel constricting so we settled on an ideal format of 180 centimeters by 30 centimeters. We found that this offers the best protection for warmth and comfort.
Now that we've discussed scarves and size of scarves, now it's time to move on down to the hands. Let's talk about gloves. Now, the importance of a proper fitting glove is crucial; if a glove is too tight, it'll fit too snug and feel very uncomfortable, also, if a glove is too large, it's loose, it'll look sloppy and bring down the entire outfit.
Now, unless you live in a very unique climate, you probably want to add a coat to the mix here. Wearing a scarf and gloves might not always cut it in the winter season, however, it's important to know what kind of color options you should consider. If you're just starting out, it's important to make sure that you have the core foundational colors in your overcoat wardrobe; brown, navy, and charcoal gray will offer you the most versatility for your outfits which you can dress up or dress down throughout the season.
Although we like to see gentlemen have fun and experiment with multiple colors, it is important to consider the environment of where you're trying to wear your multiple colors.
Now let's say, for example, you are attending a business meeting and you're wearing a navy single breasted overcoat, infusing a few pops of color with this kind of overcoat is always going to look great. Now, wearing something like the reversible scarf in Burgundy or the green and the yellow one from Fort Belvedere would be a fantastic option with this Navy coat. Or perhaps the alpaca scarf, double-sided in charcoal and gray, also from Fort Belvedere.
Now, if you happen to go out to dinner and you choose to wear a burgundy overcoat over navy trousers, you can wear the reversible scarf in navy blue and red silk wool with polka dots and paisley from Fort Belvedere. Now, on both of these examples, you can see that using these scarf options, the wearer is able to incorporate the base color of the overcoat while still allowing the scarf to stand out on its own and be a great conversation starter.
At the Gentleman's Gazette, we enjoy mixing patterns and this is true for overcoat and scarf patterns, as well. Now, the key to making sure that all of these different patterns you are trying to wear will work together is to make sure that the different patterns are of different size density.
If you're wearing an overcoat with a plaid pattern and a scarf of the same color and pattern size, there will be a loss of dimension and depth to your overall outfit. Now, to fix this, try wearing a scarf of a different color altogether or if you're going to opt for a pattern, make sure that the pattern is a bigger or smaller size pattern than what is on the coat.
Now, gloves, in particular, are a fun effortless way you can help elevate your overall look. One way to pair your gloves and scarves is to keep your colors consistent. Now, if your gloves and scarves are in the same color tone, everything else will look harmonious. Now, the goal is to not make your outfit feel like a uniform but to make sure everything else looks unified. Now to keep things simple, you can try using colors like blue, black, or brown. Using neutral colors such as these will make infusing other colors or patterns much simpler.
