From fashionindie: Giles Deacon’s giant scarves

Baby, It’s Cold Outside…But Not That Cold!

I love a nice, cozy, chunky scarf just as much as the millions of other New Yorkers trying to battle the bitter cold and biting wind of the city winters. However, there is a fine line between a chunky scarf and 300 balls of yarn mauling your neck. These scarves are part of Giles Deacon’s Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear collection, but I don’t know if I’m ready to wear one! Do I really want to walk down the street feeling like I’m hiding a neck-brace underneath? Hey, they look awesome on the runway but I don’t really think these scarves are practical for everyday winter wear.

Thanks to Popgloss and fashionindie.

I agree that these scarves aren’t practical for everyday wear (I think we’d all look a bit ridiculous), but here are some downplayed versions from favorite boutiques so you can get the look!
