Add a touch of style to your neckline, men! A guide to tying scarves and stoles by size.


Scarves and stoles, which add a touch of elegance to the neckline with just one wrap, are accessories that greatly influence the overall impression of a men's outfit. Their lightness, distinct from traditional winter scarves, is appealing, and by choosing the right material and size for the season, they can be worn throughout spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
However, many people may be wondering, "What length and how should I tie it to look good?" Therefore, this time, we've selected men's scarves and stoles in three sizes—large, medium, and small—and will introduce different ways to tie each size. The impression of your styling changes greatly depending on the size and shape, as well as the color, pattern, and material. We hope you find the perfect scarf and tying method to suit your own style.

Men's stoles are versatile accessories that can be worn with outerwear and coats from the lingering chill of winter through spring and into early autumn. Bright colors are key in spring, while muted hues are essential for creating stylish outfits. Sophisticated designs, such as gradient colors and patterns combining two types of checks, are also appealing. A longer stole like this is perfect for creating a light and breezy look when loosely wrapped.

[Medium Size] A scarf that can be used all year round. Suitable for both casual and jacket styles.


[Size: Approximately 65 x 65 cm]

This cotton and linen scarf has a smooth, comfortable feel and is perfect for summer. Pair it with casual tops like an overshirt for a sophisticated weekend look. Its size, approximately 65 x 65 cm, is just right – not too big, so it makes a nice statement even when peeking out from under a jacket or shirt.


For medium-sized scarves, a simple knot is the basic choice.



① With the right side of the scarf facing down, fold the top and bottom edges towards the center.


② Fold the top third and bottom third towards the center.

③ Fold it in half, bringing both sides together. Now it's ready to wrap around your neck!


④ Place the folded scarf around your neck. The key is to make sure the folded side of the scarf is facing downwards when it touches your neck.


⑤ Tie a knot once at the neck. The knot should be placed around the top button of the shirt, making sure that the space around the neck is not too narrow.


⑥ Take the end that was on top after the first knot and tie the second knot over it again. Tie it tightly to remove any looseness, and both ends will hang down neatly.
