Il y a quelques années, une de mes inspirations stylistiques était cette magnifique femme d'un certain âge, peut-être octogénaire ; ses beaux cheveux blancs coupés au carré ; fils t-shirt ; fils foulard Hermès ; sa veste en cuir ; fils jean utilisé ; et ses Doc Martens. décontracté, décontracté, sans effort :) (j'ai découvert les Doc Martens et les Birkenstocks tardivement, et l'association avec la soie Hermès était sympa).Je comprends peu Ce n'est absolument pas mon style chic et causal Je suis un peu preppy

It's an interesting question at a time when Hermes silk scarves are becoming increasingly popular with younger people (especially twillies worn around the neck).

It's not what you wear, it's the way that you wear it. It doesn't have to be formal or traditional.


I agree we need to constantly question and evolve our style as our lifestyle changes (or not).

However:
1. Not everyone considers looking older a bad thing. Why would looking young(er) be be a good thing?
2. Not everyone minds looking whatever age they are. If the scarf is new, it's the person inside that sets the clock.
3. The thought 'is this aging me?' is an aging thought.

We need to think about why a certain object ages us. I started wearing Carres at work when I was teaching students the same, or even older than me. It was a gift from a friend. I wasn't looking to look older, I was looking for delineation, authority, confidence and trust from my students and myself in the classroom. The scarf gave me authority communicated outwards reflected inwards, and confidence communicated inwards, then (hopefully) projected outwards.

If we are a child/teen authority (formal) looks older
If we are an adult and are afraid or need to hide our natural life-experience and authority (perhaps to appear more friendly or 'nice') appearing less formal is obviously an option.
Very well put and excellent points.
