Men Mad for McQueen Skull Scarves

Jorge Martinez-Garza — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 18:32:58 +0000

Silk summer scarves for men? Oh yes, sir. In ancient China, silk was the emperor’s fabric of choice. Well, we don’t live in ancient China, but Alexander McQueen is our late great emperor. Honor his memory by indulging in his signature skull scarf from the God Save McQueen collection. Get the Emperor some new clothes, and see a few ways to wear them here.

Got a little Captain in you? Capture the spirit of Jack Sparrow this summer with Johnny Depp‘s favorite Alexander McQueen skull print scarf. Who says do-rags can’t be silk?

Throw on this twisted classic with some skinny jeans and a great t-shirt to look like rock n’ roll royalty, even if you only play one in a movie, Mr. Perry.

And just in case you do decide that summer is no friend of scarves, then have you ever worn a scarf as a belt? It’s one swashbuckling way to hoist your pantaloons.

I’m Over It: Skulls

Kirby Marzec — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:00:36 +0000

You’re not Captain Jack Sparrow. You’re not a grave-digger. You’re not an archeologist. So what’s the deal with all of these skull adorned clothes, shoes and accessories? Just because you’ve got a silk scarf with a skull on it doesn’t make you a bad-ass or even fashionable. Sorry skull lovers, you look death obsessed and borderline suicidal. Do yourself a favor and bury your skull crap before it starts to rot anymore than it already has.
