In essence, a scarf is one of two things: 1) a piece of fabric that you wrap around your neck to keep you warm or 2) a decorative item that hangs on your neck like garland on a Christmas tree. For the spring and summer seasons, the latter is what we look for. Ultimately, a scarf in the warmer season doesn't really serve a purpose. I have a lightweight scarf that I wore on a nice sunny day and no matter how warm I got, I refused to take it off because it pulled the outfit together in a way no other accessory can. Also, I didn't want to expose my neck in fear that it would be grotesquely sweaty. Nonetheless, lightweight scarves for the warmer seasons work well when the fabric is breathable and when it is wrapped loosely around your neck with dapper flair. For something a little simpler, opt for any of American Apparel's sheer jersey scarves. If you're going for that urban bandit look, Urban Outfitters can make you look like the ultimate hipster. And if you really wanna go all out, Phillip Lim's beaded silk scarf can turn a bunch of heads. Check out the slideshow for more man-friendly scarves.

If you think technology has completely taken over our lives, or if you simply want a unique, personal way to organize your life, then a Hipster PDA (hPDA) may be just the thing for you. Having many rabid followers around the world, the Hipster PDA was first popularized by a San Francisco writer who grew tired of carrying his Palm Pilot around and started looking for a better way to organize his information. At it€™s most basic, it is a stack of index cards held together with a binder clip and used to take notes, keep contact information, store reminders, and basically anything you can think of. Why would anyone want to do that when PDA cell phones are now the norm? Well, you don€™t have to take out a loan to make one, it€™s doesn€™t feel like you have a brick in your pocket, it doesn€™t use batteries, and it€™s totally customizable and unique only to you!
