Foulard scarves for men when? and how? to wear them...and where? to buy them...

[epa]

In winter I like to protect my throat with wool and cashmere scarves, but now it is just getting too hot. But still there are chilly days when I would like to put something around my neck. I have seen these "foulard" scarves, I guess that are of silk, in any case, they are light-weight and I think that they could be quite practical during these months, when it is too warm to wear wool but not yet summer...

But I have never worn any. How are they supposed to be worn and when are they to be worn and can you actualluy wear them without looking to "affected"?

Pics might be helpful...

It seems like this guy is wearing my donegal sport coat... Is it brown?
Regarding the scarf, I was thinking more in terms of these kind of open weaves, I don't know the correct term. Something more casual and spring-like.
