Gucci Wildspitze Scarf

THE ASKMEN TAKE

Gucci brings you a gray and dark gray combination scarf in a lightweight, woven wool-silk blend of 95% wool and 5% silk. Sateen stripes run down the center toward the fringe ends, culminating in an embroidered Gucci logo crest at one end. This 74-inch long and 14-inch wide scarf is the perfect size to tie around your neck in multiple ways.

UNIQUENESS

The Gucci Wildspitze scarf is neither a classic nor a retro throwback look that requires a new coat or wardrobe to show off its stripes. It is, for lack of a better phrase, a modern scarf for the modern man. The gray on dark gray color palette keeps it from being too serious and the stripes of sateen add a bit of frivolity to your look without being silly. To call the Wildspitze unique would be an overstatement. In fact, the look is truly understated, and that is the point of this scarf. You can throw it on over a coat without much thought or worry or add it to a topcoat before heading out.

DURABILITY

Understatement in fashion is rarely highlighted or appreciated, except by those needing a change of perspective. All too often we get caught up by the latest trend or movement and forget that sometimes we simply need and want a reliable accessory to carry us through. Here then is where the durability of the Gucci Wildspitze scarf becomes apparent. No one can be sure what the next trend will be, but you can count on this scarf to keep you warm and stylish -- especially if you take the time to learn how to tie it correctly. The only drawback will be the fringed ends, which will begin to show a bit of usage after a few years.
