During the heat of summer, I like to use mine as care free, colour full handbags. A fourbi (or similar ) gives them some shape. A 70 would make a tiny one but a 90 is a good every day size, if it’s a wash scarf all the better…

I live in the southeastern US where it's sweltering from June - September (and don't even get me started about the humidity), but I still wear my silks. I tend to wear them as necklaces, though--triangled with two of the points tied together. The silks hang pretty loosely this way. I only wear them tied around my neck during the late-fall (when it finally goes below 80 
) or winter.

We just came back from Paris and my wife wore her silk Pancho and marble silk scarf and she had no issues with them. 
I live in a tropical country, would never wear a scarf unless I’m in the office and it’s either a cloudy or rainy day. Scarves are worn only during traveling in fall or winter. Necklaces are my preferred accessories compared to scarves.
Even though I like photos of others wearing H scarves in hot summer days....I simply do not wear any of mine until it is 18'c or colder....as I find them too warm even for the silk ones....and it does look a little too dress up for my taste when it is a warm day with a tshirt and jeans.
So, I am looking forward to October when I can wear them again :-P

What about using the scarf as a top, been loving that option lately!
Me too, we have a heatwave right now, so no scarves for me! Although I do think a nice scarf with plain jeans and shirt can look very classy yet still casual!
Yes I’ve been meaning to do that, but where I am, there are large temperature changes when I move between indoors and outdoors, so I end up overheating one way or another. Wearing one as a top would just cause me anxiety if I get a bit sweaty…!!
I wear jeans, a tee and a scarf most days...if it's particularly warm, I wear a twilly as a choker with a twilly ring.
I used to live in the all-year hot and humid tropical weather of Singapore for many years. I wore a scarf almost everyday, mostly over shirts so that the silk didn’t touch my skin. Never had a problem!
