I have pinned the fur collars onto tweed jackets and the denim as well and worn without a scarf. The fox ones from MaiTai had loops sewn inside so you loop the scarf through. It would not be difficult to put them into your MiuMiu scarf.

Oh I didn’t realize maitai had made the fox collars for sale at one time. My mink scarf has a loop on one side on the back (to loop the other side through), so I would only have to pin it on one side. It is a longer normal length mink scarf though, not a collar unfortunately. I wonder if it would still work.

Could you add a little length of buldoc ribbon by pinning or tacking it?

STOP showing me this scarf, you're killing me! Great dressing up of denim in the best possible way

Honestly, I think I must have had blinkers on that season or gave myself some ridiculous rule about 'only 2 per season'. I know the 5 stores (London) never had this cw while I was in because I always asked but I should have pushed and ordered one. I knew there would be no hope in Glasgow ha ha.

Have you seen this one? ;) :p

Yes, that is a good idea!
I am mostly confused about how to style it due to the length.
I am not at home, but here is a photo from Lyst.

It is about rib length.

You are supposed to take one end and slip through the tab on the back on the opposite side so it sits under the looped side. You could also use a brooch and pin them together from the top for a fold over the top look. Or just let the sides hang down. If you have a thin neck you could wrap it as well.

There are "fur" brooches out there in vintage. I think people used to pin on their fur coats and you could use that for the scarf. Here is an example:

Thanks Grace. I should have specified my problem. I understand how to wear it technically, but don’t know how to wear it style wise. I don’t live in a very fur friendly area, so I am interested in ideas to make it blend into an outfit more, like you did with your fur collar and scarf combo and the jean jacket.
It may be a lost cause because of the longer length. Unless maybe I could pin it to the lapels of a jacket?

It doesn't quite feel like Spring here tbh, but I am pretending because I want to use my new pink mini. :smile: Here is a shot of my new bag paired with my Elizabeth and James kimono.

Welcome! I love your outfit and your new bag. The kimono is really special.

I am a fan of lager bags but lately I find myself craving a chanel mini or two. They look so fun.

Yes I think pinning to lapels would work and I have done this too. I like the look of the fur on a casual jacket. Do you have a jean jacket? If not, I would suggest you think about it because they are not expensive and are extremely useful items of clothing.

Both good ideas, thanks Grace. I don’t own a jean jacket, but I can imagine how a jean jacket would bring in just the casual look to tone down the scarf. I actually do not own anything at all in jeans material, it’s hard to explain but just doesn’t feel like “me”. I will experiment on what I do have, such as a simply cut and fitted wool blazer.

Wow, I’ve missed a lot the last couple of days! But I love to see this thread moving quickly.

I am obsessed with this look!! What a fun way to dress up and put your own touch on a basic jean jacket. I don’t actually own a jean jacket, but will probably order an inexpensive one from the Gap soon!

I know I said this in a thread over on the Chanel forum, but this pink is just gorgeous! And it looks perfect with your kimono!
