In the history of men’s fashion, there have been missteps, faux-pas, and downright travesties. And then, somewhere in the distance, there are scarves.

Where did this new trend come from? What the heck do you make of a dude who always wears a scarf? Newly minted leading man Jason Segel has absolutely no idea either.

“After a while you’re not so sure where I’m coming from. You don’t know what to make of me,” Segel said of his character in the new Paul Rudd comedy, “I Love You, Man,” the story of a guy who “realizes he doesn’t have any close friends to be his best man. He needs to go out and find a best friend,” Segel said. “And I am the candidate for that.”

But why wouldn’t we know what to make of him? What could turn an otherwise reasonable man into something of an enigma?

“I get to wear a lot of scarves,” Segel chuckled.

Segel and Rudd are both on big rolls right now. Are you looking forward to their new comedy? Also, really, not to sound like Seinfeld or anything, but ‘What’s the deal with scarves?’ Sound off below.
