It isn't a scarf for god's sake.
Learn how to accessorize you know?

OK, I wear sweaters about the neck with some frequency, though I don't do it by way of accessorization (I accessorize my neck with scarves and pearls, like a sane person). I wear them around my neck not because I am cold but because I am warm. I get cold a lot, and so wear a lot of sweaters and cardigans, and when I am not cold they are too warm, so I remove them and need someplace to put them. I refuse to wrap the damn things about my waist so as to emphasize the size of my ass, or wad them up into a handbag, which seem to be the other options, so about the neck they hang. (Or I wear them over my shoulders, all the better to impersonate a librarian, but this doesn't strike me as a superior look.)
It's called layering people. The benefits are you can take stuff on and off to regulate temperature. The side effect is you need something to do with the stuff you remove.
BR(OK, I acknowledge that anyone doing this as a "fashion statement" just looks like an idiot)C
