Natural fibres
At Besos Scarves we are passionate about natural fibres like cashmere, virgin wool, alpaca, merino, silk, linen, modal and viscose. We carefully select our partners and suppliers, and are only satisfied with the very best, both in terms of raw materials and craftsmanship.
Cashmere scarves
Wearing a scarf in 100% cashmere is a lifestyle. A cashmere scarf makes you feel well put together and confident. Cashmere is the ultimate comfort and can dress an outfit up or be wore casually. Cashmere is luxurious in terms of softness and is uniquely comfortable around the neck and shoulders. At Besos Scarves' a scarf in 100% cashmere can be so delicately woven that it takes up to 150 km of thread to produce just 1 kg of yarn. A scarf or shawl in pure cashmere is almost weightless as a result of the ultra-short fibres it is made from. A cashmere scarf is like a soft and airy dream - a timeless piece of luxury.
Colourful cashmere scarves
Cashmere is beautiful in its natural colour, but is also available in a range of bright and and classic colours. Often several different colours are woven into beautiful melange shades in several tones and patterns.
All the details count
Besos' scarves are produced to extremely high quality standards. We focus on all the details, the edging and fringes, which are usually handmade.
Weaving
Besos Scarves' suppliers have all implemented a high quality levels in the production of our scarves, using only the best materials and the latest weaving techniques .

How would you describe your blog? PreppyBeast is a niche men's fashion blog, which primarily focuses on classic and preppy style. Through the blog, I try to show how classic traditions in men's fashion can be brought into a contemporary context.
How would you describe your style? My own! In creating my own style, I like experimenting with combining several different looks. The basic elements of my style are obviously taken from classic men's fashion, with the shirt, tie and jacket combination appearing frequently. I pair these formal pieces with sneakers, a hat or a bomber jacket, in order to create a more casual contrast. If I had to put a label on it, I would definitely call my style "preppy" or "ivy".

What inspires you? My inspiration comes from the catwalk, as well as trends on the street. I spend a lot of time surfing the web for great street style photos. Using these photos as starting inspiration, I try to identify the key elements in each look and pull them together in different ways in my head.
What's your typical everyday outfit? My typical everyday outfit consists of the following elements:
- Blazer with white pocket square in the breast pocket
- Oxford button-down shirt
- Tie
- Cropped chinos or slacks with turn-ups
- Black leather brogues
- And as soon as the weather allows it: Italian socks
How do you dress for special occasions? My normal formal attire doesn't really differ from my everyday look. My philosophy is that one should dress well every day! I strongly believe that how you look communicates a lot about who you are as a person.

What's the most important item in your wardrobe? My most important item is actually something that very very rarely gets used. This summer I bought a multi-coloured seersucker blazer from my favourite designer Thom Browne, which is very distinctive and special. It's my most important item as it was the first thing that I purchased from the revolutionary designer, and since then I've been filling up my wardrobe with Thom Browne!
What do you think about accessories? Accessories are essential to any outfit. With accessories you can express yourself on a whole other level and put your own personal stamp an outfit. For example, I NEVER wear a blazer without a pocket square.
What's your next buy? A new navy blue blazer from Gant Rugger or Thom Browne.
The European spring and summer is traditionally a time of celebration and at BESOS there is nothing we enjoy more than getting all dressed for a summer wedding, confirmation or garden party. Unfortunately, in Northern Europe at least, the weather can be still be quite chilly in summer time - especially later in the evening after the sun has gone down. That's why we're of the view that a beautiful wrap or shawl is the perfect accessory for the summer party season - the right one can complete your look and keep you warm on those cooler nights.
Choosing the right shawl for a party dress can be a bit of a challenge. It might seem simplest to choose a shawl in the same colour as your dress, but our preference is always to find something which complements your dress without looking too 'matchy-matchy'. As we show in the photo below, it's possible to highlight a beautiful pastel coloured dress by styling it with a shawl in a matching cool tone. Working a tone-on-tone combination like this is always an elegant choice. A black and white dress can be styled with any number of different coloured shawls, while a multicoloured dress is most beautiful when styled with a shawl which accentuates just one of the colours in the dress.
The actual way in which you style the shawl is a matter of personal taste. The shawl in the photo above, for example, is styled loosely around the model's neck and shoulders, giving a simple yet stylish look. If you're going for a more casual look, you can always let the shawl hang completely loose around your neck, shoulders or back, with both ends down the front of the dress or covering the upper arms.
But remember: When you choose your shawl, it's important to focus on selecting something in a good quality fabric, or you might ruin your overall look. A good quality shawl or wrap need not be restyled throughout the night, but will remain as you first styled it for many hours. If the shawl is of a beautiful quality and nicely styled, the dress is actually less important - that is, a very simple and inexpensive dress can be made to look like a million dollars with the right accessorises. We often recommend customers think about upgrading an old favourite dress with a new shawl or wrap to totally revitalise the look. Believe us: it's all about accessories!

How would you describe your blog, StyleStories.dk? My blog is my little forum for sharing my interest in fashion and my inspirations with others. My day job is in a completely different industry, so my blog is the perfect outlet for my love of all things fashion. I complement the blog with Instagram (@stylestories), which I'm pretty hooked on.
How would you describe your stye? My style is very minimalistic and Scandinavian-inspired, without too much embellishment or "noise". I love black and grey, so my wardrobe includes a lot of pieces in these tones, but I also like spicing things up with prints and patterns in muted colours and contrasting fabrics such as leather and cotton. I love raw detailing, for example in zippers and leather, but always balance this out with something feminine, otherwise it becomes too much.

What's your typical everyday outfit? There's no particular dress code where I work, so I can wear most of my wardrobe during the week. My typical outfit is a pair of skinny jeans, a t-shirt and a little jacket, with a pair of ankle boots (either with a heel or flat), or pumps and ballerinas in the summer. I love cut-off jackets, and I have a lot of them.
What inspires you? I am inspired by a lot of other blogs, through Instagram and by online shops, but also by people on the street. I often take walks around central Copenhagen to "people watch" and take a lot of inspiration from that.
Who is your favourite designer? I do not know who the designer behind Billi B is, but I really like their shoes! I am not actually very into designers and high-end brands, and buy most of my clothes from high street shops such as Zara, H&M, Mango, Marks & Spencer and COS - I think they offer pretty good quality at good prices, but I also spice things up with more expensive things from time to time. I am, though, pretty fond of some of the Danish designers such as Designer's Remix, By Malene Birger, Day and Inwear, but I don't often buy from their collections as I think they are often a bit too expensive. In other words, I much prefer several perfectly good items than one expensive thing, although the trend in "blog-land" is to say precisely the opposite. If I were allowed to dream, though, I would say that I'd love several bags from Mulberry :)
What in your wardrobe couldn't you do without? I don't think I have any clothes or accessories that I will keep for life. I can understand, however, how someone might feel that way, if they had a Chanel bag or something like that. I guess I feel that way about several things in my home, that I have received as gifts from a special someone or have inherited. For example, I inherited a porcelain figure (a polar bear) from Royal Copenhagen and a 'Blue Flower' dinnerware set, which I am very attached to and will never get rid of.

What do you think about accessories? I love accessories, especially bags, shoes and scarves, and I have a lot of all three! Most of them are in black, but I also try to venture out into other shades from time to time. The problem is that nothing in "colour" ever gets used as much as something in black. With scarves, I usually try find something with a lovely print or colour that can jazz up all the black and grey in my wardrobe. I have never been especially into jewellery, but I always wear earrings and a watch, and when I go out, I usually add a few bracelets and maybe a necklace.
What trends are you really excited about at the moment? I'm really crazy about leather at the moment - I love the softness, texture and fragrance of the material. Adding leather to an outfit seems to really upgrade it and give it the perfect finishing touch. I am also quite into animal print - whether leopard, crocodile or snake print. Adding a great print or structured piece really livens up my simple outfits.

How would you describe your style?
My style is classic, but is also influenced by Scandinavian minimalism and the season's trends. As a blogger, I definitely need to keep up to date with the trends, but at the same time pick and choose carefully, so my style remains my own and not just a reflection of "what's in". This is easier said than done, but I'm definitely getting better at it!

Where do you like to shop the High Street?
London is, without a doubt, my favourite city, but I also think Copenhagen is pretty good. I live right next to the shopping street, Strøget, so I often check out the high-street stores like H&M, Gina Tricot and Zara. The Danish high-street brands, for example Just Female, are also favourites. Otherwise, I do a lot of shopping online, including at ASOS.
Who is your favourite designer?
Maybe it's a little corny, but I love Isabel Marant. I am totally hooked on her simple everyday style, which always includes a few feminine details. I think there's something really powerful about her as a woman, which always shines through in her collections. She sets the benchmark for fashion, and is therefore someone to take notice of.
Who is your favourite Danish designer?
In my opinion, we have many talented Danish designers, among them Malene Birger. However, I think MUNTHE is very strong at the moment. The collection can be worn both everyday and for dressing up, which, for me, is really important. I am so excited to see how Naja Munthe develops the brand in the future.
What is the most important item in your wardrobe?
I have so great items in my wardrobe, which I am really grateful for! As a blogger, there are always so many new additions to my wardrobe, which means I am always getting rid of old things (otherwise I'd simply drown in clothes, shoes and bags). There are, however, a few things that I'll never get rid of, including my Balenciaga bag.

What do you think about accessories?
For me, accessories are the most important part of my wardrobe, as they complete every outfit. They can make a cheap outfit look expensive, or, on the other hand, an expensive outfit look cheap! I, therefore, always choose my accessories very carefully. My motto is: Quality over quantity.
Which trends do you love right now?
Spring is well under way in Europe now, but starting back in winter we began to see a lot of pastel colours used in, among other items, coats. This trend is clearly not over yet, and I therefore look forward to combining my basic wardrobe with items in baby blue and pink. And a little bit of colour on my skin, of course.

On the 14th of November Helle saw a fantastic program on the Danish television channel DRK about Nadja Meyer, one of Denmark's unique style icons. She is a really inspirational woman, with a great sense of personal style and a lot of charisma - so much so that many young fashion bloggers here in Denmark hold her up as an idol of sorts.
We met Nadja Meyer at The London Fashion Showcase, where we were invited by Vivien Life, HMA Ambassador to Denmark. The event took place at the ambassador's beautiful home, Bernstorffshøj, with a number of well known and up and coming UK brands represented. After having met her, we can guarantee that Nadja Meyer is just as amazing in real life as she is on television...
Below you can see how Nadja styled her Besos Scarves (a beautifully woven warm yellow scarf and a delicate grey scarf / shawl in a two-tone print). She is a great inspiration for every fashionista! She shows that you are never too old to have great style! Thanks Nadja!
