I'm a reasonably athletic 170ish 5'11 white male, but my wardrobe is pretty shitty. This is not what I'm trying to address.

I wear predominantly athleticswear, because it's comfy as shit and I'm a college student in a longterm relationship, so I 1. have no need to look professional, or like not a scumbag, and 2. have no need to impress the grills at this time. However,

I have pretty severe back and neck problems, and I'd like to start wearing a scarf to keep my neck warm during the day. The only problem is I have absolutely zero interest in resembling pic related. I can get away with a Puma hoodie and sweats but I suspect I'd just look like the worst of both worlds if I tried to wear a "fashionable" scarf.

Any suggestions for a bad-wardrobe poorfag like myself with neck problems?

1. how the fuck would a scarf help ur back and neck problems
2. the scarf in ur pic will do nothing to keep ur neck warm, fucking look at it
3. it literally says asos in the filename wow

1. by keeping muscles warm, you can prevent injury and enhance (while they are still warm) flexibility. I used to have long hair, and when it was wet, it would aggravate my neck problems massively. Just believe me when I say that keeping my neck warm is very important at this stage.
2. no shit, I literally google imaged "scarf men" and picked the faggiest turd I could. This is not what I want to look like or be.
3. I have no idea what that means. I'm not even British.

don't stress yourself out on this one

buy a team scarf
(donno what sport you play, but a lot of teams have scarves, especially for soccer)
so just buy a long one and twist it around your neck, maybe even tighten it and tie it to the ceiling fan

You buy dark scarf. And coat.

Look like my comrade here, he is a dad. Good back, strong lifts. No neck at all for to have problems.

This whole outfit cost him 40$ at goodwilled.

I don't know if any scarf is great though man. Look again at my comrade here.

Is not great agains?

I don't see how this board is so picky about bullshit, then tells the man to just buy whatever.

Maybe he should look like the teenage goth gay? And Skinny yeh?

The scarf and the shirt look great. I may emulate this in the future.

No it doesn't, it looks horrible. I can say that because i'm on /fa/, and i'm the poor schmuck in the pic.

I may use the scarf for other outfits, but it is just too much in pic related, accorind go these teenage assholes on here, my wife, and myself now that I give it a skeptical eye...

A plaid scarf may look okay with this outfit, but not the same pattern as the shirt, it's just weird. Probably need a solid scark

Note the appearence without the scarf, much more structured and less distracting.

It just really seems too much with it on...

note that fashion is a lot about opinions.

Which is why people on this board can gor for dozens of threads arguing about a tshirt and whether it is the best t-shirt in the world or a complete abomination made for utter morons.

Introduce real style? Well... we don't know what to think.

Darker, skinnier jeans would look 1000x better. I wouldn't recommend such a pattern w/ a blazer. Just go for a solid colour, or tasteful vertical striped shirt. White, Navy, or Black would work.
Shoes are the right shape and colour, and the blazer is a bit loose, but I like a tight fitting suit, but that's just my taste. Also, I wouldn't match the scarf w/ the shirt like that. Solid colours are your friend.

Not bad dude, just a few adjustments and you'll be A+

Definetly agree that matching the scarf pattern with an already off style shirt was too much, which is the point I was demonstrating for OP.

Was sort of an experimental piece I was doing. Your advice seems in line with what I am thinking yeh.

I asked a couple tailors how they felt about suppressing the waist, have got no affirmatives yet, so gave it pause for though... still not sure, but leaning towards slimming it down a bit like you said

It's not. It looks like you're actually going for something there instead of just wearing mismatching shirt and jacket.
