Please! I'm very interested in this topic. Always looking for ideas to make scarf wearing fun.Silk scarves are back with vengeance. I posted an article somewhere about it, let me see see if I can dig it up- basically Paris fashion week was full of ideas how to wear them. I am now worried they may be TOO trendy,
I am sorry if this belongs somewhere else.
I love Hermes silk scarves. I think many of the designs are beautiful. I have seven and I rarely wear them. My style is very much about clean lines and monochrome colours (neutrals, jewel tones and some lighter shades of blue).
I have some scarves which are more modern (shadow BGD) and some that are more traditional (equator).
My wardrobe is a great backdrop for scarves but I really just don’t feel like “me” when I wear them. But I look at them in the store and I love them.
I am debating rehoming some of them. But then I am worried I will regret it. Anyone been there? What did you wind up doing in the end? Were you able to make the scarves work for you?
Usually I am very disciplined and decisive about my style choices so I am a bit frustrated with myself.
From now on I’m only buying round scarves so they can double as tablecloths.
Thank you for the detailed response and good advice. I am having a hard time getting used to wearing them because my clothing style is so simple/minimalist. Even though I wear colour it always tonal/monochromatic with clean lines. Maybe I just need to try it and try to get used to it!
I know what you mean, I’m not 100% convinced I’m a scarf wearer either. I find that if I mess around with tying a scarf, trying to make it perfect, it feels contrived and I end up feeling uncomfortable and taking it off. I’ve learned to stick with the first (usually scruffy, and always simple) tie attempt, and head out the door. I only wear scarves in cooler weather, in the summer it’s too much for me, so I don’t buy too many
I'm more a 'chuck on' and go style wearer. We have to bring ourselves to the scarf and not the other way round. One carre may fit all sizewise but there are a million ways to wear them, it's finding a way(s) that works for you
So true. I think indeed that worrying about knots and matching the clothes can make scarf wearing a bit daunting and that it helps thinking of a scarf as an add on, something eminently practical and not precious. My mum for example, wore her 90s silks at home all the time. Like she would come in, take out her coat and throw in a Hermes or Loewe scarf to cook diner. She would push them on you all the time too, for fear the neck would get cold . I wear scarves mainly in Fall and Spring, and more often than not I just tie them around my bag or pop them inside it in a silk pouch just in case it gets chillier or the air conditioning is too high in a conference room. I also wear my Hermes scarves when down with the flu, or when I underwent thyroid surgery. My friends would laugh at me being the best dressed hospital patient but really, if having your neck sliced is not a good reason to wear a soft silk scarf I don’t know what is.. [emoji14] One should also not underestimate the power of the easier ways to wear a carree. Witness Christine Lagarde who always wears hers just folded and showing under her jacket and has made it into a signature look.

hooray for your mom! She taught you not to be afraid of scarves. I wear mine gardening, hiking, walking the dog, and DEFINITELY when any medical stuff is going on. As someone said, if you don’t like scarves, don’t wear them. But if you do, here we are!
