It’s spring here in Europe, but we’re international… right? I use the reverse drape cross a lot, though I’ve used the chest warmer while wearing a suit a couple of times, this past winter.

    I don’t know what kind of psycho came up with the Chest Warmer but it should be illegal.

      I couldn’t tell you, I’m in this crazy line of business where I don’t usually have to be around machines. Or at least not in an environment cold enough to warrant a scarf.

      I admire your drive for efficiency, though. I won’t judge your ambitions, you do you man.

    I use a European/Parisian knot when I where a scarf because I don’t like a scarf feeling loose and I’ve dyspraxia so struggle with tying knots and the Parisian knot is simple as hell.

    Okay this is very interesting, but I dont think i have ever spent any thought on how my scarf is wrapped. According to this I use the fake knot all the time because its quick and easy.

      Well, if you’re ever someplace where it’s colder, or use it on the bicycle like I do, the reverse drape cross is really nice. It keeps the cold out very well and it doesn’t come loose too easily.

        I am, and I do (Germany). Will give it a try next fall, but generally I found it sufficient to just tighten the fake knot a bit when its windy.

      Reverse drape cross with a nice long and broad scarf, my friend. Okay so there’s no eye holes, but there’s a nice cocoon to hide most of your gob in.

    I like how it seems to keep getting more and more complicated until you get to… it goes around twice :)

    I guess parisian knot is my default but sometimes I’ll reverse drape or chest warmer (without the full behind-the back, my scarf is not that long)

    @toothpaste_sandwich I’ll never understand why people upvote these random, pointless infographics. Most of these are, obviously, ridiculous made-up nonsense made to fill out a listicle with a number you’ve never seen before. Don’t worry, if there’s a worthwhile way to tie a scarf, you already know about it.

      In all seriousness: I myself was really helped by this infographic. The two styles of tying that I mentioned have really helped me out and for the life of me I’d have never thought of them myself. I enjoy infographics like these as an aid in creativity.

      It’s a shame you don’t enjoy them, but for me this was really not pointless. I feel kind of sad that you call them that, really. Makes me feel like I am lacking in creativity, somehow, compared to you. I’ve been working on self-esteem lately, and I’m slowly getting to a place where I can tell myself otherwise now, but that’s the kind of effect a reply can this can have on people, I suppose.
