FASHION PICKS: SCARF SWAG

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

scarfswag.jpg

Guys are stepping up their accessories game and rocking scarves hard this season. This trend is pretty evident if you look at all males in entertainment - Kanye of course (who started the trend on the black carpet), Omarion, Lupe Fiasco, and Jay-Z are some of the guys who like to add a scarf to their look.

I noticed some time ago when David Beckham showed his scarf swag, letting folks know that this trend isn’t all for the ladies. I think the look is a go and shows that guys can be a little versatile with their wardrobe.

Here are a few I found online, mostly at ASOS and Urban Outfitters. They have some of the basic patterns and skull scarves you may see a lot of. If you’re the alpha male that wants to step it up with some designer scarves, visit fruition for some vintage, yet hot Gucci, Chanel, and YSL wrappers.

There isn’t really much that men can do with fashion so the scarf swag…..why not. They can only express themselves in so limited ways through clothes unless their gay/drag queens lol.

Why, why, why and where do these trends come from?
(straight) Men don’t need this sort of embellishment- it makes them look feminine.
Btw- Jay could play Andre Leon Talley if ever a role comes up, lol.
Omarion looks like a ghetto Taliban member.

I like the idea of a guy accessorizing in a masculine way. This could totally be an upgrade for some guys that wear the same old thing day in and day out…the basic polo and jean/slack combo. I think that it’s time that guys get something new to add to their wardrobes and everyday attire and the fact that it’s simple yet noticiable makes it even better.

THE SCARF TREND IS NOT BAD BUT THEY SHOULD KEEP IT SIMPLE CUZ THE SCARFS DONT REALLY MATCH THE OUTFITS ,(STRIAGHT MEN) GUYS ,IF U GONNA WEAR THE SCARF ,KEEP IT SIMPLE OR YOU’LL END UP LOOKIN GAY OR LIKE A DRAG QUEEN!
BUT APART FROM THAT THE SCARF IS CUTE ,IT GIVES MEN MORE OF A CHOICE OF WHAT TO WEAR OTHER THAN PLAIN WHITE T’S N JEANS
I LIKE IT AS LONG AS THEY DON’T GET TOO CARRIED AWAY

I don’t think it looks gay at all. why do fashionable dudes have to look “gay”? I dont understand the logic behind that but whatever. I think they look nice. You know what I think looks “gay”? Dudes who 3 years ago were wearing baggy jeans hangin off their asses and are now rockin tight ass nuthuggers that hang off their asses. lol wearing a trend from head to toe with no individuality is “gay”.

Men need to be very careful with the fashion style that they are attempting to emulate.

Those particular scarves pictured above are very homosexual looking.

It’s one thing to wear a solid color scarf underneath you overcoat, worn in a masculine fashion (worn around the neck with NO outlandish display)

The scarf’s pictured above are too loud and worn in a gay like manner.

Real men are not trying to draw attention to themselves.
We just blend in.

I am not feeling the scarf swag on Jay, Omarion or Kanye. It looks too….I dunno - ride ‘em cowboy John Wayne’ish.. lol

Bill, I think ur overdoing it.. lol

I do think the way they are wearing them and the style of the scarves SHOWN are feminine.. Its not cute to me.. They may as well carry a purse or whatever (some probably already do i.e. the “bookbag” thing[Kanye])

However, men STAY accessorizing, whether it b a skull cap, fitted cap, chains, watches, WHATEVER.. All that ish is for decoration purposes only most of the time.. I’d be surprised if half of these watches on these dudes even work…

I know Common and Dre 3000 and Johnny Depp and others have been doing it for years and I know the dadny boy trend in the UK was Kanye’s influence but it doesn’t change the fact that Kanye is such a big personality and the B-boy meets coffeehouse look is so HIS THING… everybody pictured is basically rocking Kanye’s style…This is that man’s style…it’s like everybody got wardrobe from the “Can’t tell me nothing” video or something…I can’t believe they’re so demonstratively copying…I don’t like these new things we’re doing with fashion…men never wore trends lol it’s really absurd if you think about it…men are such sexist vile pigs but they look like a liter of little bitches in heat for Kanye lol

Some of y’all don’t know what you’re talking about obviously. And Andre Leon Talley has been rocking the hell out of scarves for forever. Kanye is just catching up; so sorry; no Kanye did not start this and neither did David Beckham.

What is gay about a scarf? A bandana is just a bonifide scarf. I have the gun one from Urban Outfitters in the black and white and the checkered one that Mario is wearing. I love the scarves.

“Some of y’all don’t know what you’re talking about obviously. And Andre Leon Talley has been rocking the hell out of scarves for forever. Kanye is just catching up; so sorry; no Kanye did not start this and neither did David Beckham.”

First of all, you don’t want to use Andre as an example for anything that’s not supposed to be gay…that’s first…the man wears ceremonial robes (which are “bonified” dresses, essentially).

As for the Kanye thing…I never said he started it, in fact I was clear in showing examples of men who have been wearing scarves for years BUT Kanye certainly IS the first to blend the bohemian, street, and high end looks. His style is neither hood nor white-collar…and it’s not puerely bohemian…it’s all three and he’s the first to do that in such a demonstrative (and quite literal) way. I’ll put it this way…every one of those outfits above are replicas of Kanye’s “Can’t tell me nothing” look…

@ GEM

So what you think Fubu shirts were?

What you think throwbacks were?

What do you think Adidas with the fat laces was about? (OLD SCHOOL)

Button downs and Ones?

Pea coats?

Timberland Yukon/Nubuck/6 inch boots?

Dude rocking one gold, other platinum or white gold Jesus pieces was?

Do I need to go on…

We live in a world of trends and whats hot…

And there is nothing feminine about a trend…Get over it.

Okay, no problem with the Scarfs. They actually look cute I mean attractive on some. But as long as men don’t start wearing those damn skinny jeans like Omarion had on 106. Please men, “real men” don’t do it. And I don’t want to hear shit about you’re secure with yourself if you can rock it right. Right my left ass. Ain’t nothing cute or attractive about a man in skinny jeans.

I thought dude was looking at my ass, guess I was wrong. But don’t get me wrong if you swing that way, you can rock those skinnies, they do look good on “h.y.d” But for all my men who are hetero - -please say no when your stylist or even the dumb girl in the mall suggests its the hottest thing.

“hated it” (in my in living color voice)

I’m with Joshua and Foxx. I don’t get what the big deal is about a scarf. its a friggin scarf! My dad’s been rockin those checked scarves with the fringe (that the arabs wear) since the 80’s. It’s catchin on now but it looks hot and you can wear it so many different ways. I really don’t like how sexuality and fashion seem to be interchangeable. A man wears a scarf and suddenly his sexual orientation is up in the air. wtf is up with that? everything isn’t meant to be pigeonholed. cant a scarf just be a scarf and be left as that?

Gay is a man wearing skirts, headbands as tube tops and pink lipstick with glitter eye shadow. Not a scarf? How does a scarf homo up the whole outfit? These aren’t hot pink silky scarves. I wish people stop labeling things they aren’t feeling as gay it’s so immature.

I agree with the statement @26 tone that shit down.If a brotha got to wear a scarf check the classic Billy Dee Williams scarf swag.

JUDAH

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 /

Lol @Bill

I think that this “swag” thing is going a little too far, especially since most of these rappers have been turned out, so why should they be seen as paragons of fashion for men? How come when Da Brat has on jeans 5 sizes too big; an oversized white tee, with timberland boots unlaced, she isn’t a “swag” icon for females, lol? I just find it entertaining how much men, especially black men, are encouraged to embrace their “feminine side” by the mainstream and a sizable amount of black women. If you speak against or even about it, you’re “close-minded”. I guess the ultimate goal is to have men and women walking down the block indistinguishable from each other.

52.

JUDAH

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 /

All that being said, I don’t think scarves on men have anything to do with homosexuality, it’s just the spirit that surrounds many of these “trends”.

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 /

Damn black folks got to “keep it real” all the time to the point where we can’t have trends becuase anthing other then a hood attire is supposedly gay. I think the majority of people in here dont know what the hell their talking about truth be told becuase thats why they in here commenting on, instead of setting trends.

We dont always have to play it safe especially scince people dont have an issue with hood niggaz wearing pink like that shit is cool to do , I’mma wear a scarf if i feel like it.

54.

Nikki

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 /

Judah I hear what you saying. I dont think the scarves on any of the dudes pictured above looks “gay”. All I see is a scarf around a mans neck. I don’t see a rainbow checked scarf with ponies and dandelions tied on the side like a sarong. Checks and a simple print. I have to agree the the faddishness of some of these trends is what does it to me. Like I said before, we have dudes who were rockin baggy jeans go to these slim fit nuthuggin skinny jeans and its like where did that come from? People who wear things to stand out regardless of what everyone else is doing is wassup. folks who blindly follow trends no matter how stupid and contradictory to the last trend is so lame and unoriginal. I wish it would stop.

Hdizzle wear ya scarf and eff anyone who dont like it. they can kick rocks. lol

Yall are too much! It’s a friggin scarf! I was thinking the exact same thing as #50. Billy Dee was doing that ages ago and I know there were probably some before him. And Billy Dee was the manliest of men back in the day. Trends come and go, then they come back again. It’s nothing to get all homophobic about. I could see if they were accessorizing with a chain of pearls and a tiara or something!

I think there’s a difference between “trends” that emerge as a result of high-end designs (because high-end collections dictate the styles and sorts of clothing available in low-end stores) AND “trends” that emerge as a result of someone interpreting the former sort. For instance, gray is a trend this season and ankle booties and tuxedo jackets and appliques and bulky sweaters and knits and bucket hats and swing jackets and voluminous skirts…ahhhhh soooo much more…and all these are trends because they reflect the entirety of designer collections for the season. They are trends in availability and sort, then. They are NOT, however, trends in that they reflect the way…say..Patricia Field might have assembled a sweater with knee socks and booties for the “Carrie Bradshaw” character. That’s the difference from where I’m sitting… You can interpret all these things available to you in different ways. There is no reason you should pretend a certain individual’s interpretation of all these items is a “trend” because we all know that another person is not likely to choose exactly from a sea of infinite possibilities…
And, of all the things you listed, the button-down and sneaker trend is the only one that qualifies as a “trend” in the sense that someone wore it, everybody liked it, and emulated him…and that is what I don’t like (especially since it was contrived image from Jay Z’s female stylist for his transition to “businessman”). The rest are merely what were available in stores…

Tuesday, December 18, 2007 /

Let me say this and I’m done (because I really don’t care…this topic was just near the top) I AM NOT a small-minded person…I SUBSCRIBE TO NONE OF THOSE ‘THUG/HOOD’ NOTIONS OF HOW A BLACK MAN SHOULD LOOK/DRESS. And, I should have been careful in my initial post…it was just that I was flippantly posting because it was a new topic.
ANYWAY, while I don’t buy into absurd generalizations, I also WOULD NEVER date anyone UNLESS her were an individual and that means even in dress… I WOULD NEVER date a guy wearing an entire outfit he saw on TV: in a video, in a movie, or otherwise… NO (thank goodness the guys I date would never EVER indulge even the notion of some uniform of extraordinariness or something, though…).
But, again…YES it was interesting, Kanye’s interpretation BUT NO IT IS NOT interesting (and NO IT IS NOT ATTRACTIVE) everyone’s basically wearing Kanye’s thought (just as it was NOT hot when everyone wore the button down with sneakers, Jay Z’s stylist’s thought).
Ultimately, though, my initial point was NOT that a scarf is gay BUT ONLY that wearing another person’s brain is lame!

64.

It’s not the scarf, but the entire look…as I said we’ve seen it in rap videos for years…Andre 3000 and Common have been wearing scarves in videos for years…neither of their styles is reminiscent of Kanye’s. Because the man’s done a very peculiar thing, combining things that many believe diametrically opposed…Even Pharrel hasn’t combined them in the same way… Kanye’s look is at once bohemian, street, and high-fashion. The most Pharrel ever did was combine high-fashion and street…never bohemian. Will.I.Am didn’t even combine all three elements.
The point is, ultimately, NO TWO people will choose alike in a sea of possibilities.

As for me, I’m more inner-directed in dress..sure, I have things that other people I know own because, as I said, designers dictate what will be sold in stores and shops from Neiman Marcus to KMart and I am not rich, I don’t buy couture (I design accessories, though). BUT it is my own interpretation of these things that makes my style my own. I’m into timeless pieces too…solids, muted colors, cotton tops and dresses, tube skirts, and of course vintage items… But, ultimately, I believe we all know the otherness of our ideas…we’re all responsible for our own individuation…and we know when we’re being celluloid.

This look is actually an old look…the underground crowd - especially Asians - have been doing the scarf swag for awhile now. Do I like it…I can deal with it as long as it is around the neck and not the mouth…as I’ve seen in the past. It’s funny how everything underground finds its way to the surface.

finally
no lace-front discussion

i personally wouldn’t wear a scarf
only because it don’t go with my look
some people can make it work
i just happen to not be one of those people
which i think is the reason a lot of the
men on here are calling the look gay

This scarf thing started with nomadic Arabs. They needed something to use to protect their faces from sand storms.

It’s cool though

Who said Kanye was the first to wear scarves? I didn’t.
I said Kanye was the first to wear this look: street, boho, high-end…that’s what I said. Pharell’s look was high-end and street (or irreverent and sporty) not hipster. Kanye was the first to blend the two looks with the vintage inspired outerwear…the hipster jackets and cardigans…and, of course, the sunglasses.

Okay, I’m never typing the word K-A-N-Y-E again! lol I’m so tired of talking about that man and his look… I promise I hardly care…he’s not on my best dressed list. In fact, I can clearly trace his influences…though that in no way negates the fact that he was the first to wear all the stuff at once.

FIRST OF ALL this trend is not new. For those fashionable people out there, the scarf/shemagh has been a staple item for about a year now. It is only until recently that celebrities have been rocking this look. SECOND OF ALL, i just want to say that i am very dissapointed with black people on this blog. Reading some of the comments about the “look” being gay just annoyed and angered me. BASICALLY in order for a black man to be considered a black man he needs to have his pants down to his knees and mean mugging all the time. Sorry been there done that. It’s time for us to experience new things and become bigger than what we’ve been before.

Naw man what’s GAY is wearin’ pink furs carrying a baby phat cell phone or the homo thug jim jones draw attention to my ass with this chain on my waist tight ass hip hugger jeans! Whew! Most dudes say something is gay when they can’t afford it or they don’t have any fashion sense BTW what’s so great about extra oversized jeans and smelling like blunts all day? At least these dudes can get a job @ a clothing store ya’ll homo thugs just holding up the block SMH that’s why haters never prosper. If u don’t like it don’t wear it but don’t hate on the next man cause MJ used to rock one glove and these same hard core thugs know they had some glitter socks LOL!

its a insult to muslims(lupe fiasco was born/is muslim)

Men died fighting in a war for that. Arafat wore it. People took bullets in the back fighting for that! [Rappers] don’t know what the meaning of that is.. they’re ignorant! They go overseas and they go to Dubai then they come back and say, ‘look at the new trend I started’. It’s disrespectful!”

The Muslim man I spoke with thinks rappers need a little sensitivity training, “If I see them wearing the jalabia, I’ll make them take it off!

I can tell a lot of cyber-black folk don’t care about fashion…at least CL patrons…because people are forever calling Brian on this and that in his music posts but people rarely ever (with the exception of the occasional UK blogger) call Tianna on these fashion posts. Boyyy…ya’ll are forever late with these, CL.

I think that my husband Omarion looks sexy in his scarf. I can see him with a scarf any day even if he has to wrap the scarf around me, I would love it. I love you so much Omarion baby, don’t listen to what others say about you, you are always mine and are always sexy in my eyes. Love your wife, Lisa

When I first saw the scarf swag I thought “hmm.. that’s different”, then it caught on like wildfire. Everyone’s wearing them now. I personally don’t see this look as being gay or homo (double pause and double no homo, I know.. I listen to too much dipset but still…). It’s just fashion and fashion is constantly evolving. I bought one a month ago and have yet to wear it, it’s basic and solid in color and I like it for me. I think the problem is that if you don’t dress “hood” then people automatically think something’s wrong and that mentality is stupid, people need to wake up realize the world is bigger than than the hood and the block. I laugh at all those bum ass basic dudes who think a pair of gore-tex boots and a Ed Hardy hoddie is their idea of getting fly. LMAO!!……
Neutral 550 set, Brick City 973 all the way to the UK and back. peace

Scarfs on urban fashion is not new. I honestly think trends itself is corny, and you should originate, and not imitate. However, there is no such thing as “originality”, as everyone subconsciously copies from one another.
