Editors’ Picks: Scarves

We aren’t advocates of excessive athletic apparel and fan gear, so a stylish way to show some school spirit is a no-brainer for us. Rugby Knit Striped Scarves (1: $18), like this one from the USC campus store, are a cold weather tailgate must.

And for a bolder, woodsier man-scarf, try the J. Crew Red Buffalo Check Wool-Angora Scarf (4: $45).

And it’s the hotness.

Our argument emphasizes the visual lines created by the cut of the jacket instead of any stylistic of fashionisitic differences. Sticking to classic, flattering lines is always appropriate, and the deeper V created by the 2-button cut beats the boxy 3-button any day. And in honor of football season, we’re using telestrator technology to teach.
