Scarves MYH's Scarf Showcase - and philosophical ramblings about how I built my collection

[eternallove4bag]

Raise your hand if you bought a maxi twilly and don't wear it as often as you should. I must confess, my hand is in the air.

When these MTs first launched, I was at the peak of my silk obsession. I was venturing into all different sizes and could not get enough of Hermes silks. I still think having many different formats in a collection is a great thing. Even in the same material, a different size gives the scarf a different vibe. Having this versatility when choosing a scarf from your drawer is priceless! So when my SA and purse forum started buzzing about the new maxi twillies, I could not wait to see them. It didn't matter that they didn't have a rolled hem or were not screened in the same way the regular 90cms are. I liked the idea of a long rectangle scarf with diagonal cut tails. How glamorous! How elegant!

So the first day they launched, I flew to the H boutique to claim my 2 MTs (yes, when they launched, each customer was limited to 2 per season). I bought the burgundy and black calvacadour. I didn't buy any Brazils because I was not crazy about the feathers.

I could not wait to go home and play with my new treasures! There really is alot you can do with a maxi twilly. It can go around your neck once, twice, three times, even four if you are frou frou or bunny cat. Sadly, I did not like the look of the MT around my waist. It's not as um...trim...as it once was and I don't really like drawing too much attention to that area of my body. But I have seen some fab pics of women wearing them this way.

I was hoping it could be worn casually during the summer because of the rectangular shape having less material but here's where I get confused. No matter which way I tie it, I just don't feel it has a casual vibe. It's more of a going out for dinner accessory. And it's a great one because it's not voluminous and you don't have to worry about dribbling or splashing food all over it. It lays pretty flat against the body and that's a big pro to the MT.

As for providing warmth - unless you triple loop it around your neck, I don't feel like it's great on a cold day. I'd rather wear a CSGM or 140giant silk when I need warmth.

I do love it with a mors ring though because it is not bulky when you slip it through the ring. In my pic I folded the maxi twilly so the width is only one quarter of its regular width. I just threaded both tails through the smaller loop and let them hang. The whole thing stays put! The volume of the MT is just right for a mors ring.

It is a slippery sucker and if you want to wear it looped once around your neck with the tails hanging down, using a knot in the back of your neck or a scarf ring will do the trick. All the little tricks I mentioned in the 140cm tutorials applies here as well with the MT. If you missed the 140 tutorial, scroll back to Post #315 Page 21.

As you can see, I do really like the MT and I think it is very versatile. I just need to remember to reach for it when I'm getting dressed. And it has the added bonus of matching my burgundy chanel clutch which I love. I took a pic with some accessories. My capucine illusion bracelet and a blue izmir bracelet. For some reason, I do love the burgundy and capucine colors together especially since there is a capucine ribbon in the scarf. But I know...they don't match at all but I call it power clashing!

Now you are making me want to try out a MT my dear MYH!!! Love the color combination and goes so well with your Chanel cf too[emoji173]️[emoji173]️ love how how you tell the story behind these scarves! Totally hooked!!!

MYHHere's a way I wear my only Maxitwilly for a casual day out locally , I'll probably go out like this later when I'm planning a trip to H to see the new scarves.

I wanted to show I'm wearing Stan Smiths but I can't get a good long view . Sometimes it'll be a pair of ankle boots , but anyway this my usual look about town .

I'm mixing navy striped jacket with a black T and red and black Zebra Pegasus MT , I like a mixing navy and black and mismatching seems more modern sometimes.

If I put the black jacket and trousers it looks smarter but then I'd tone it down with Stan Smiths .

Oh my!!! frou frou you wear this fabulously!!! Thank you for inspiring me totally [emoji173]️[emoji173]️

This cw goes so well with your whole outfit (and lipstick). I was debating between this cw and cw02 (the denim blue/orange/pink) and eventually went for 02 because I was afraid that I won't be able to pull off the red. I always find red + black + white a very chic and modern combination. It looks nice on you!

There's a blue Tigre Royal...often seen on H.com...My avatar has the fuchsia version.
Take a look...Happy to enable

+1. The blue Tigre Royal has some green in it and is very pretty in person.

I like to wear MT as a head band. And every time I wear it somehow I feel like I'm on vacation somewhere in the Mediterranean..

 

[Keren16]

Yes! I don't use my MT enough. Thanks for reminding me.
One pic, I was deciding if I should keep or not (I ended up keeping.). The other is how it fits well with my daily life. I also have a Brazil MT.
They are really easy for me to wear

I am raising my hand MYH. I bought several first issue MTs including a silver and periwinkle Calvacador ( since rehomed), a pink Brazil and DH gifted an orange Brazil. I only wear the Orange these days. I agree with you, something about the flatness of the silk lacks volume, but it looks great with my jean jacket and occasionally my big white shirts in the summer time. I tried every colorway of the zebra pegasus and just could not fall in love with those pesky hooves on my chest lol. I'd rather just use the funds for my crazy obsession with mousselines. But I will post my Brazil's just for you soon as I can muster a photo or two. Here is one that was posted during autumn colors week on SOTD. Think I love this one the most because it is from DH and goes so well with my Barenia cdc, picotin and my Alezan H boots.

They're easy to overlook as the scarves & shawls are so beautiful. Love to see how a MT looks on you. I bet great!

Your Brazil MT is beautiful! Love the cw and the description of the way you wore it. I suppose it is that it is made differently than the scarves & has a different feel for me also. Almost more casual. I still love them. I'll post my Brazil MT when I can.

 

[Keren16]

MYH - thanks for this thread! Your posts are great. I haves scarves in their boxes occupying space in my closet. I tend to buy, wear a few times, & then on to the next thing. Your suggestions help me remember the beauty I have waiting to be worn.

So beautiful! Love the way you have tied it dear lanit!

Definitely tempted my friend! MT looks both casual and chic at the same time! I have seen a few displayed at my store. Will try it next time for sure[emoji173]️
All my funds right now get diverted towards the shawls but with H I have learnt that never say never [emoji4] especially seeing the enabling shots from our beautiful TPF members here[emoji173]️[emoji8]

MT's are the same as you described to me. They can be casual and add liveliness to my otherwise routine outfit of jeans & leggings. There are some shawls I would like to look at also. Thanks to tpf & you!!! So easy to become diverted[emoji4]. I will probably put my funds to a shawl next too

This is my Brazil MT
The colors are vibrant
