Choose based on your outfit!

Assistant buyer Oshikiri, in charge of men's scarves, will suggest scarves to match your winter wear. Why not choose an easy-to-use item that complements your partner's winter outfit?

For pairing with a business coat – adding a touch of sophistication and elegance.

I chose Alonpi's double-faced scarf, which has a warm texture. I recommend the Pitti wrap style, which keeps your neck warm while adding a touch of elegance.

A simple, plain scarf is essential for business settings. The reversible color scheme adds a stylish accent when worn in a Pitti Uomo style.

For a relaxed, sophisticated look paired with leather, try a check pattern.

With a width of 50cm, this is a unique size and is recommended for those who want a voluminous look around the neck.

For pairing with down jackets – a reversible design adds just the right amount of accent.

I chose a large Piacenza scarf that wouldn't be overwhelmed by the volume of the down jacket. I recommend tying it at the back for extra warmth around your neck.

This reversible scarf, with its lustrous silk finish, gives off a sophisticated impression. It adds a touch of elegance to casual outfits. The overlapping colors visible when tied at the back provide a subtle accent.

For pairing with knitwear, a simple, plain scarf is perfect for both on and off-duty occasions.

I recommend this loop-wrap scarf, which can be easily attached and removed, for a casual, relaxed look. I chose this Begg & Co. scarf because of its soft and comfortable feel.
