mens scarves

[Nanook]

hi,

I bought two scarves in Highland Store.
I'm new in kilts wearing and wonder, are there any rules which scarf wear to which kilt.

Wollen scarves are not to be worn formally, save with an overcoat "in transit". Scarves and evening jackets just don't, I think, look right. They go, however, well in daywear with, for example, a tweed Argyll jacket. I would, actually, not (and don't) grab for a solid but a tartan that harmonizes and coordinates well with my jacket and headgear. Even with a "checked" or (subtle) tartan jacket I grab for a patterned and never a solid. The only solids, I think, that really work (and are not overly boring) are garish and bright but these days less my thing. I would not, in general, try to directly coordinate the scarf with the kilt--- only indirectly via the coordination of jacket to kilt.

Beyond selecting a scarf I think its important also it wear it "correctly". I would neither wear one like Snoopy's take on Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen ("Red Baron") nor without a jacket (I leave the fur coat and shorts look to guys like Kid Rock).

A plaid is another matter.
