Autumn Essential: Neckerchief
A stylish way
of protecting your neck from the autumn wind
This type of
neckwear has been brought back to men’s wardrobe due to the recently reborn
navy trend and it has been seen in quite a few blogs and websites we all follow
everyday.
I can still remember last time I’ve wore a neckchief it was in the mid
90’s and I have used alongside with a checked shirt and a t-shirt under it – I
was around 15’ .
Well…since then, things haven’t really changed that much.
Wear it with…
A neckchief can be used whether there is casual or a more formal occasion.
If you’re able to wear a more relaxed outfit then combine it with a trendy
checked shirt or a just loose scoop neck t-shirt.
Moreover, to perfectly match it with a smart classic look, wear it under
the collar of a contrasted colour shirt with a casual blazer over it or a knit
coat. I believe will make all the difference and will give the outfit a unique
touch of style in less time than as required to tie a necktie.

Wearing of
neckerchiefs:
The way of
wearing a neckchiefs will depend on two things: first is a matter of style or
attitude and then a matter of lifestyle or job type.
This means that
they can be worn on 2 ways: with the knot turned towards the front or the back.
One way of
wearing them is to fasten it on your back neck leaving the triangle side on the
front. With this look you might achieve a more adventurous and wild outfit,
reminiscing Pharrell Williams as an example of a more loosed and relax
fit. The appeal of using the neckerchief
just as a casual accessory is the freedom it offers because you don’t have to
really care about how it stands on your neck thus the rough look is the look
wanted.
If you want to
take it more serious and give it a more formal and classic look then wear it
leaving the ends and knot towards to the front, just like the streetstyle
pictures below/above. To make it more casual without changing too much try to
unbutton your shirt by one or two buttons from the top.
My opinion is
due to my personal style and I confess these days I’m feeling more into a smart
look and tight/slim fit and being so I think the second choice would go better
with some back darted shirts or chinos.
For more
inspiration take a quick look on the pictures I’ve attached because sometimes
it’s easier to see it yourself. Most important is: do it your way and wear it
the way you feel it fits better on you.
Versatile and
stylish, the neckerchief is definitely one of the autumn essentials. Get on
board!

Relaxed Summer Style
This something I'm about to do more often, as it's seen in many blogs worldwide, to present something like "look of the day". It's practical & simple and it's a way of giving tips and keep you updated with the latest trends.
Today I'm again focusing on casual folded hem pants. Can't get rid of them, wear them combined with everything, everywhere, even shorts and top's sleeves... Fold it up!
These two looks are from my favorite international streetstyle blog the famous Sartorialist and my favorite portuguese streetstyle blog: o alfaiate lisboeta.
Enjoy your summer!
