I guess there's not much I can do then, huh? </p> <p>@Victoria: I wish I knew sooner how unpractical they were! But all I found is how super ware they are and how über cool they look. </p> <p>@Carole: I love how they look, too! If only they could keep me a little warmer :/</p> <p>@Traci: that's the thing - I need my neck to be warm, first and foremost- I'm kind of on the freezing side and need all the insulation I can get :-)</p> <p>@Astrid: I'm glad I not alone with this problem. I hope you find the perfect one, I don't think I'm getting another any time soon </p> <p>@Nidhi: I don't think I can cut it into a stripe - I think the whole thing would start unraveling and I would not know how to prevent this, since I can't sew.</p> <p>@Joy: Unfortunately, I am not from the States, so no Target around here. But I see your point. I have other scarves that I can wear, and it looks like I will have to do that and forget about the circle one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758787 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 03:42:27 +0000 Anonymous 758787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want warmth, get one of the faux fur scarves. Last year the Rack had them but I've seen them recently at Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758728 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 01:29:11 +0000 Nidhi 758728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would it help to cut the scarf so that you have a long strip like any regular stole and then wrap it like you want to? You can tassle the ends or maybe ask a crafy friend to do that for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758596 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:41:24 +0000 Astrid 758596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate! I like to wear scarves just for the look in spring, summer and also fall, but I need to stay warm in winter. I'm searching for a perfect big circle scarf too, but I haven't found one yet. Ideally it would work wrapped three times for warmth and two times for the look. I agree that it helps if you have the scarf partways in your coat to push it up for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758591 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:34:58 +0000 Traci 758591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't tend to wear them tight around my neck, but they do add warmth by covering my chest area, keeping a breeze from going down the front of my coat and generally adding an extra layer of insulation to my top half. I also love the way they look. I think you need a snood for what you're looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758576 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:20:33 +0000 Carole 758576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, hadn't thought about the functionality, they look fab though, don't they! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758525 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:22:12 +0000 Victoria 758525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that's why i am not a fan of circle scarves because you can only wear it one way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758519 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:08:41 +0000 Lavinia 758519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input, Alaskagirl! I don't have the scarf here with me now to try this method, but if I recall correctly from last year, that third loop was very difficult to make if not impossible. I will try that though once again, when I get home. </p> <p>I was also thinking of experimenting with some kind of clips or bobby pins or something to make it snugger. I'll let you know if I come up with a passable solution </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758515 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 21:02:30 +0000 catgirl 758515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one that is probably only supposed to be a double loop but I make a third loop (not easy to get over my head, though!) and wear it snug around my neck when I need to have that kind of coverage. It's almost like having a fat turtleneck on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758511 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 20:58:47 +0000 Lavinia 758511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see your point Diana, unfortunately, the coat I initially bought the scarf for has a lower neckline and a peter pan collar (kind of like the one below) so I can 't seem to do that. And with this particular coat I really do need neck coverage.<br /> Also, the scarf in question has no special strips or any other fastening devices to make it snugger. :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758505 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 20:52:58 +0000 Diana 758505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the scarf is bulky enough (like the one in your photo) it will sort of squish up around your neck when you button up your coat. You can pull it up a bit so only the bottom part of the scarf is under your coat collar. Some are also made with a single twist like a Mobius strip and if you position it so the twist is at the front of your neck it will be warmer. </p> <p>It does not work with a coat worn open, but if it's that cold, you wouldn't be wearing your coat unbuttoned anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/circle-scarf-confusionrant#post-758503 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 20:49:38 +0000 Lavinia 758503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year I bought a black circle scarf with red metalic thread to go with my red wool coat. However, I didn't really wear it since I need a scarf to keep my neck warm and I seemed to be unable to wrap it tightly enough to keep the wind and cold air away from my neck. </p> <p>I also searched the internet and all pics show circle scarfs hanging loose or at least looser around the neck and down the chest area. What the heck? So what's the point of wearing one if it doesn't keep you warm? Is it purely an aesthethic item?</p> <p>Sorry, for the mini rant! I love the look of circle scarfs but it's really frustrating not to be able to wear one for such a trivial reason :-/ The scarf is pretty bulky so I can't really wear it in spring transitional weather as it reads winter and I am also unable to wear it now (i.e. fall) since it doesn't keep me protected.</p> <p>What am I missing here, girls? Is there a special technique of wrapping it? I found only one way to make it stick really close to my neck and keep me warm and that is wrapping in the traditional European loop just like a regular scarf. </p> <p>Below is a pic of a scarf pretty similar to mine that I found on the web.</p> <p>Any word of advice? </p>
