With a silk 90, I’m usually casually dressed. I think that creates a younger vibe (I’m 57). Coupled with denim and a leather jacket and combat boots, or even just worn with a untucked button down shirt or t shirt, it can be very relaxed and youthful. I find it helps sometimes to reduce your color palette and if your scarf pattern, when folded on the bias, is a bit abstract. An elaborate knot, tight on the neck, is not always needed. Sometimes just a border along a jacket is enough. In France, these days, my friends still wear oversized boyfriend blazers, silk scarves, and, recently skinny jeans, which can be a nice look.
ETA: most of the silk 90 format that I do wear are jersey, washed, dip dye, and tend towards muted color in ex libris or BdG.
I am more colorful with respect to CSGMs, but for a 140 format, I prefer cashmere silk, not 100% silk. Oddly, my favorite silk scarf is charvet, not Hermes, an even more buttoned up brand lol. For a more youthful look, don’t match your lip color to the scarf. I only wear lip balm. If Ines de la Fressange or an older Coco Chanel or Carolina Herrera were to wear an Hermes silk scarf they might not even make it a focal point of an outfit. Perhaps tied into a sash lol.

Sometimes a looser silhouette can transform a silk 90. Here a looser pant, a t shirt, and a jersey BdG. H sneakers

By way of contrast, styling a CDGM 140
Can be more playful bc there is so much more fabric and the patterns are a bit more muted than silk. If what I’m wearing is this busy, I tend to minimize jewelry and other accessories which I think can be more youthful
