Hi guys,

Could anyone tell me which is the best place to find a variety of silk scarves in Helsinki. I need to wear one to a formal dinner tomorrow. I'll be wearing it like this:

I need to buy it this evening after 5:30 'cause I'm at work right now and tomorrow I wont have time at all. Hoeping i get some answers and quick too. People here have saved my hide on more than one occasion.

Thanks in advance though.

Yes, Stockmann.

There is also Tie Rack on the ground floor of Forum which probably has something like that.

Isn't that what we call a cravat in English?

cravat noun [C]
a wide straight piece of material worn loosely tied in the open neck of a shirt

Maybe Fere on Bulevardi, around the corner from Mannerheimintie. Or the Boss shop across the street on Eteläesplanadi.

thanks guys. I found some in Stockmann. !"#¤% expensive and not much to choose from. I found a really nice one at Tie Rack in Forum. Reasonably priced and good looking too. The store owner was really really friendly too.
