Well, here we are, that time of year when you have to start looking for warmer garments to keep you from freezing on the way to the office or that holiday party coming up. That’s right, you have to get ready to meet your partner’s boss again (try to remember their name this time).

But cold weather isn’t all bad, as holidays bring joy, spirit, time with family, and some of the best cold-weather garments on the market. This includes choosing the best men’s scarves for every occasion. Lucky for you, we have the perfect choices below to go with your casual outfits for the man on the go, the business casual outfits for the after-work parties, and the suits for the more formal parties and occasions.

How do you tie a scarf?

There are really only two choices when wearing a scarf. Simply drape it over your neck and leave it open for a more casual look that adds color and elegance to your outfit. Or tie it up to bring it closer to your neck to protect you from the wind and look polished and put together. While there are multiple ways to tie a scarf, the easiest way is to fold it in half, creating a loop at one end. When you wrap it around your neck, secure it by sliding the open ends through the loop and pulling it close to the front of your neck. This look is clean, easy to remember, and will never not be in style.

Now that we have that out of the way, here are the best scarves for men.

Black, white, and everything in-between: SuitSupply sticks to the grayscale for the winter
Gray suiting, black ready to wear, and white overcoats have us loving winter
SuitSupply Gray overcoat

The winter is set to be cold and dreary like usual. The temperature drops, the days are shorter, and we can generally see a little less color. SuitSupply doubled down on the colors of winter when they added bright white cashmere to their fall and winter collection earlier this season. Now, one of the best suit companies online is sticking to that trend with as little color as possible going into the winter months. The SuitSupply Winter Colors consist of black and white, with some gray in between. If you are looking for versatile options that go with anything, a capsule look that will get you through the cold months, or simply want to keep it nice and simple moving into 2025, this collection will serve you well.
Gray suiting to white overcoats

Before you start to think that the blacks, whites, and grays are nothing but a boring lack of color, take a look at the offerings SuitSupply has before writing that off. The mark of a great brand isn't bright and flashy garments; it is the ability to elevate anything with impeccable tailoring and the right looks. The Sand Overcoat is a twist on the British Paletot or Guard's Coat. Making it white lets you stand out and make a statement without needing to have something garish. The Mid-Gray Relaxed Fit Roma Suit is another piece that, while seemingly basic, offers a more updated looser fit than we have grown accustomed to over the past two decades and will elevate your suit wardrobe with something to be worn all year round.
