I bought another AW scarf recently, another the week before, as well as a SS19 but this is the one that most excites me. I never even gave this one a second thought until I saw it on someone else, it wasn't even all love when I first tried it on either but somehow I couldn't stop thinking about it and had to try it again, now I think it's amazing, an 'exceptional' for the price of a reg. scarf.
Mine is the Dans l'Atelier by Dallet (many will already have this design in other formats). This comes in red, blue or green with white.
The other print that it came out in is Della Cavalleria (blue, red or green with white)
We've another thread devoted to finesse before so I don't need to talk about the design print.
Eyeliner
It feels and looks like no other silk:
The weave seems totally different and apart from the Dallet print, the actual weave is bi-colour. This gives almost a changeant-effect as it moves, the light or the wearer does.
It doesn't crease in the same way, almost spongy.
It also feels thicker and stiffer (not starchy) and from trying it on I would be inlined not to tie it like other 90s/twills/pure silks.
It won't fold as flat on the bias so needs to be remain wider if starting that way.
Rosettes and some of the other complicated knots will not work as well. Nor will it drape in the usual way. It does however stay exactly as first done.
Triangle and simple folds folds are fine.
Fine for a cowboy or large expanse of silk look.
It's DH's new favourite so I'd better watch out he doesn't borrow it (it would look great on a guy). It almost defines the term 'smart-casual' and I can see me wearing it more for Spring/Summer with denim but looking effortless with a black Crombie coat or fur for now.
Anybody else have an Eyeliner? What are your thoughts and what are your tips for wearing?
I will try to take better flat/folded pics in daylight soon. Sorry for the reposting of this mod shot:
