German term or phrase: kurze Trageweise
Dear Colleagues,

Your skills would be much appreciated with the above. It seems to me that it is a way of wearing the scarf but the question is how to render it nicely.

Here is the context that I have been given:

Der rote Kaschmirschal besticht durch dunkle Streifen und seine kurze Trageweise, die an den Uniformschal britischer Schuljungen erinnert. So wird jeder Winterspaziergang zum Vergnügen.

Thank you for your assistance.

neutral  Lancashireman: "kurze Trageweise, die ... erinnert.": How does that become "dark stripes reminiscent"? // And switch erinnert to erinnern?

  -> Just switch these two around/Keep that up and I'm going to have to nickname you the grammar troll.
