haha.. MS is a good place! got both Zara and Massimo Dutti.. really like it! anw, i think Massimo Dutti does not have S-A-L-E (as in, discounts) occurring as often as Zara because it's the "higher-end" of the latter? *shrugs*

In terms of sales (as in, people going into the shop and buying items), Zara is indeed more popular among the younger crowd based on its clothing designs and range. IMHO, Massimo Dutti is really a store to get off-the-rack formal and business wear, hence, attracting a different crowd.

On a side note, whether paying > $100 for an off-the-rack shirt will beat a tailor-made shirt (in terms of fit and quality) at the same amount of money (or even cheaper) is subjective.

So long as one is happy with his/her buy, I guess anything goes.

Would you consider to put on contrast-collar shirt eg white collars on non-white shirts as they are considered more formal ?

How To Tie A Scarf

1. Parisian Knot

The most sought-after knot is also one of the most universal. Here’s how to tie a scarf in a Parisian knot: Take the scarf in both hands and fold it over lengthwise; drape it around your neck; insert the loose ends through the loop hanging in front of you and pull them through.

You can play with the tautness of the knot and the thickness of the scarf by doubling the scarf lengthwise, if you wish.


2. Once-around knot

The once-around knot is your entry-level knot for all those brisk days when you need a little extra comfort.

The point of this knot is casual warmth. To learn how to tie a scarf in a once-around knot, drape the scarf around your neck allowing one end to be longer than the other. Take the long end and bring it around your neck and let it fall over your chest. If you have a long neck, overlap the scarf in back just a bit so that most of your neck between the jacket and the base of your skull is covered.


3. Loose once-around knot

The loose once-around knot is more about fashion and having the scarf with you “just in case.” Pair the scarf with a duffle coat or any hooded snorkel coat for a rakish look of adventurism. When it comes to knowing how to tie a scarf in a loose once-around knot, the same rules apply as the regular once-around knot: Drape it loosely as though you haven’t the time to finish the job right.


4. Twice-around knot

Here’s how to tie a scarf in a twice-around knot: Begin as you would with the once-around with both ends hanging in front of you, but make sure one is significantly longer than the other. Take the much longer end and circle it around your neck twice; do this without making the knot too tight. Getting the lengths of the ends to match up or come out relatively close will take a bit of practice.
