Agree with you. But! I bought myself so damn cool men’s scarf a month ago. Deep green, so warm and oversized – like in a picture))
So… Such a great touch on … everyone I should say :P

Yes it’s a lovely couple of photos. I like the left one though, because the man looks to be so intently listening to his conversation partner, and the body language is so friendly and respectful.

It evokes an Indian vibe to me…. I definitely prefer the blue one, I think the quality stands out. They seem so cosy!

I love it! It looks like the man in blue planned his outfit carefully. The man in red looks a little more like he woke up and got dressed but didn’t take as much time as the other man. The shawl works equally well on both of them. It’s a classy way of saying, “I’m running out the door but it’s cold.” Great colors, too.

Well you just pegged what my cravat-wearing-and-scarf-stealing-husband got for Christmas! (one of his gifts anyway.)

Agreed! Men and a shawl…and colorful too. The guy will be warm and styling walking down the street during the cold weather.

Bravo gentlemen!!!
Both looks are wonderful!!
Firs is more effortless. Second is more chic!
Who knew a simple scarf or a shawl can be so versatile!
It adds a lot of drama especially when it’s worn by guys.

Not feeling it. I’m a big fan of scarves, even women’s scarves on a guy (I’ve been known to wear one or two of my wife’s on occasion), but the shawl thing looks silly here.

No. A but too over-the-top and theatrical for my taste. I like men to be stylish, yet understated in their fashion. That’s my personal preference.

I love the fact that they both suit the color they’re wearing perfectly!

Scarves, yes. Not a fan of the shawl-too overpowering. I don’t even like the word shawl ;)

SO love this look on a man! Effortless way to add distinction and style. Hoping you get enough pics for a ‘If you’re thinking of…. ‘ feature!

It may work in Paris, but not Ottumwa, Iowa. Face it, Paris is just one big fashion biosphere that the rest of the world can chuckle at.

It depends on how you wear it. I like the first photo’s outfit, not the second, for some reason.

Isn’t that too big for a man? I mean – woman wearing it like that is OK, but man – I don’t know…

Yes, yes, yes. Love, love, love it so much. Unfortunately most men shy away from strong colours and big scarfs. So come on men, break the rules!

It hardly looks like either one of those men are trying to dress like a woman! It’s a big scarf – and they both look great!

The left picture I can handle; the right one is overdone and a turn-off in my opinion. However, I do love that shade of blue.

Men and shawls….I think it looks dorky on men. At least here in the U.S. Maybe in Europe men can pull the look off and still look masculine. In the U.S., men just look like they’re cold and they’re a member of Occupy Wall Street. Women can pull off the Shawl Look gracefully and with great style.

red is cool…blue is a bit too much….appears as though the shot is waiting to happen..the outfit different only to the point that it is regular…
SLO MAN
December 12, 2012 at 10:51 am
Too much fabric! Too distracting! If all you’re going to see is the shawl, then use some patterns instead of one big solid color.

Theese two man look amazing!

I HAVE been thinking about shawls. This leads me away from that notion. The way that the blue one is tied around the neck yet leaves chest exposed throws away any pretense of practicality and warmth; it is purely for style in a more traditionally feminine way. The red one on left is also a bit overpowering– almost like the shawl is wearing him. Almost–because he exudes joie de vivre.

Does anyone know where I can purchase this wonderful scarf/shawl?

if you like the red one its from a Parisian company called Denis Colomb

The blue scarf is lovely and style-y, but the fellow with the red looks like he has a blanket wrapped around his neck.

I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not, but I have decided that; YES. It plays. Especially combined with the confidence of these two men.

extraneous blanketage yes but sadly neither of these work… the colours are wrong and theyre too voluminous…

December 15, 2012 at 9:23 am
No, no, and no! ;-) By the way: Which real existing person would walk around with such an monstrous Shawls on his neck???
Pancho
December 15, 2012 at 1:51 pm
I can’t say I’m a big fan of the look. If a guy wants to wrap himself in something larger than a regular scarf there are traditional male garments that could use an urban revival: capes, ponchos, sarapes, etc; maybe even togas :-) . I sometimes wear a sarape at home on chilly mornings.
I think part of it is that they’re wearing it like a scarf around the neck rather than around the shoulders and/or wrapped around the arms and it kind of overwhelms them. All that said, they’re nice shawls and they look like confident guys. I do like the colors and what the two men seem to be wearing underneath. I suppose it looks better in person and real life they carry it of really well.

Everything is not “amazing”. Sometimes it’s just too much. Is a Bozo tie better than a nice four-in-hand? Things that are different are not necesarily stylish.

Call it Lohi. It is a great thing to wear for Fall/Winter/Spring.
The man in the red is wearing it better than the guy in the blue. It is not supposed to be fashion, it is supposed to be an accesory, and they should be worn for a practical reson.
And yes, these garment will be widely used in the future.
* And yes women love it, great way to comfort them on a chill evening.
(men should not think too much about clothes, use it for practical reason and it will look good)

I really like that, the red one especially. It looks comfy, you just want to wrap yourself entirely with those

My old partner lent me a pink one that I wore with my blue seersucker for a weekend flight to Miami. As a six foot black guy, it really helped me cut a dashing figure!
