Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2020 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[papertiger]

My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike .

The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

continued from here THEME WEEKS for 2021 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we have some real treats in store! We have a full complement of scarf mistresses and GSMs for 2021 and I want to give a quick shout out and thank you to my fellow...

forum.purseblog.com

The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.

Thank you, Fifi. My scarf collection is a direct result of the pandemic, and having a pile of money from cancelled activities, and lots of time to search for scarves. I am a collector by nature, but I try to actually wear my scarves. Selecting a scarf and an outfit to share with all of you daily has brought me great joy.

To date, there are 90 90 cm silks, 2 CSGM, 7 moussies, 5 70s, 2 bandanas, 3 45s, and 1 100 from the men's collection. 31 were purchased new from Hermes, with 12 from the S/S 2020 (including 4 Les Artisans!), 9 from A/W 2020, and the remainder from earlier years. 22 scarves were purchased used from eBay, 24 used from TRR, and the remainder from various other vendors. I have paid over current scarf list price for just three scarves, Jaguar Quetzal, C'est la Fete, and Noel au 24 Faubourg, and the total overage was less than $500.

I haven't sold any yet, because I need to wear them for a while to see which ones I tend to favor. At this point I seem to have enough scarves to cover the various scarf wearing themes, although some of them will require a bit of creativity. (I know I can always choose to wear what I like.) I like the idea that these scarves tend to hold their value, unlike the pearls and other jewelry that I collected in prior years.

2020 has been a most unusual year, and I was generous to myself as far as scarves went. I fully expect to exhibit more restraint during 2021.

i love hearing about other people's collecting. You've had a good year!!!

What a ray of sunshine! And I see you ar3 coordinating mask and iPhone color!

Yes, I can be very matchy-matchy!

Wow, great colours together, Moma!

Thanks. It's Christmas!

Gorgeous!

ooooo - thank you for sharing, truly some eye candy!

Thanks!

It was a good day!
Beautifully bright moma!



awww man- now y'all are going to make me go look at the video.... Love it!

Thanks. I do like bright colors now and then.

Wow! Impressed by the mask/scarf color coordination!

Thank you. I told you guys it would have made a good theme, LOL!

Stunning. Neige II, I believe? Love, love the colors.

Yes, or Neige detail?
I love the colors too. I bought it so long ago (the mail has been ridiculous) I forgot the border was hunter green. It was a great surprise!

Lovely CW, moma! If it looks this good in the gloom, I can't wait to see it in the light

Thanks. Me too! And I am going to memorize that video from @Yoon daily scarf !

Scarf mail today!! Acte III, in a nice bright colorway. Can’t resist showing her off, even in my bum-around clothes (just my regular clothes at this point). Thanks to FoxyTrini and Karenska for the mod shots, they were so helpful!

I think 2020 was the year when I finally accepted that there was no such thing as too many red&blue scarves (goes with denim )

That is the battle cry of a true Scarfie. "No such thing as too many ______&_______ scarves". In my case, it is pink & purple, but the color combinations other posters here rock are truly amazing--Some I would never think of. Isn't there some pair of colors that excites each one of us? Embrace it.

27 Dec 2020 The Oscarf: Best 90, Best CSGM and other Oscarf-worthy categories (copyright Cookiefiend!)

Happy last Sunday of 2020, my dear scarfie friends! It seems as if it was yesterday that we began our yearly silk adventures here on SOTD, and here we are wrapping up the year... And, what a journey it’s been! We are all, no doubt, ready to say goodbye to a most challenging year and poised to welcome a new one full of hope and possibilities.

I think that we all agree that 2020 was a year that will live in infamy, except where our silks are concerned, for we have witnessed a marvelous array of scarves here every single week. At moments where we have been sad, anxious and troubled by world events, our little SOTD corner of the world has been a spot of beauty, comfort and joy.

And, now, we get ready take stock of all of the wonderful scarves that have entered our collection this year and to, once again, hold our very own Oscarf Awards ceremony! For, where Hollywood has the Oscar, Scarflandia has the Oscarf, courtesy of our dear Cookie.

This was a very interesting year for me as I purchased my first mousseline scarves and fell in love with this format, adding a total of five to my collection. So, I will begin by giving my Mousseline of the Year award to my very first moussie and the one that remains my favorite: Offrandes d’un Jour
View attachment 4938899

I also obtained my first Giant Triangle this year, so the First GT Oscarf goes to Kachinas.

But, where I went seriously bonkers this year was with CSGMs, adding a grand total of fifteen to my stash. As I live in a tropical climate, I can safely say that I’m pretty much done and satisfied with my shawl collection. I obtained so many treasures that it’s hard to pick a favorite, therefore I will present my Best Five CSGMs during the course of the week, beginning with La Femme aux Semelles de Vent.

And, the Best Giant Silk of 2020 award goes to Carnaval des Oiseaux
View attachment 4938902

As every year, I purchased scarves from Hermès’ new collections. The Oscarf for Best Scarf of the Spring/Summer 2020 collection goes to the fabulous C’est la Fête, which I was lucky to find in two CWs.

And, the winner of Best Scarf of the Fall/Winter 2020 collection is La Legende de la Foret.

As every year, a variety of silks from past seasons entered my life. Some were long-time Grails for me. But, if I must choose my Grail of the Year, the award must go to Ex Libris en Kimonos in this exquisite CW.

I have been looking forward to this final week on SOTD, as a recount of all of my new scarves has been fun, enlightening and eye-opening. This year has been a momentous one for me, as I acquired a total of sixteen 90s, fifteen CSGMs, five mousselines, three giant silks and one giant triangle. I am looking forward to posting some of them this week. And, I can’t wait to see the parade of treasures that will be shared by all as we wrap up one scarf-loving year and get ready to begin another one full of silk dreams and expectations.

Great Intro and what a fun week ahead! Your 2020 additions are fabulous and the Carnaval des Oiseaux is impressive! The colors are spectacular. I too acquired my very first mousselines this year but am still undecided on how I feel about this format. I’ve not mastered the art of making them look effortless. CSGMs are my true love and glad to have you aboard that scarf train! I do believe we are ELK twins. Beautiful colorway!

Hi everyone, I write my first reply in this topic!
I enjoyed reading this forum, and I'd like to participate it too.. Please let me know if I do some mistakes

My best scarfs of the year are definitely Parures de samourais!
Love the vibrant colors and detailed motifs♡

Have a wonderful week ahead!

Twins on all four! You have tied them beautifully! I really love this last colorway with the green sweater.

That braided Fouets is gorgeous on you, MAGJES!

Thank you so much Croisette!

Great post. The fish and the owl are perfect!

Thank you Moma!

Hold that thought!
Commercial break time: we have a fave colour combo theme next year!

Somehow got too busy to post this last week. Here are my 3 holiday scarves that I have been wearing frequently this month.

1 neige d’antan which I featured early last week
2. au coeur de la vie (2007) - not Xmas theme, but very christmassy red and green combo.
3. Noel au Faubourg View attachment 4939089

and actual SOTD and my favorite new CSGM from 2020 ( ok it was also my only CSGM this year). Patchwork Horse. This colorway with blues, greens and purple matches or goes with almost everything in my closet. not sure why it doesnt seem very popular( has been on USA h.com most of the year). It ties beautifully. Here worn with a new cashmere cardigan.
View attachment 4939090

Beautiful holiday scarves! I especially like the red colorway of au coeur de la vie.
I adore your Patchwork Horse and remember when you first posted it. I almost purchased as a result
but ended up with the blue/green Kawa ora instead!

I think we need to include the Horsawards ( or Horscars as I think it was called for a nanosecond upon issue ) for this week's theme, even though I didn't buy it this year. I cannot say enough how much I love the colour of this scarf. Anyway, just popping it on because of the awards connection.

Wow! What an amazing green!

This has proven to be a very useful exercise, reviewing the year's purchases. I have bought 12 scarves for myself, shown below, as well as a personalised Trésor de Medor for a dear friend and the pink/cream cw of the Jardins de Soie CSGM for my mum, which I don't have photos of.
My husband jokes that I probably even out at one scarf purchase a month and this year he hasn't been wrong! I've added three 70s, one giant triangle, two vintage 90s, three 90s and three CSGMs ( the sky blue Couvertures being a surprise Christmas gift from DH ).
My favourite? It's a close run between my two de Porets, I think.

Fabulous 2020 additions!

Great look! You have some really great Grand Nord colorways.

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Oscarf week, Fifi. All of my Hermes scarves were acquired during 2020, so they are all in the running for an Oscarf Award.

I like colorful scarves with interesting designs, and I tend away from horse bit, military, colonial and hunting themes. However, I have been inspired by many of you to look at vintage designs as well as neutral colors, and that leads me to my first Oscarf Award of the week.

Yesterday's scarf mail brought me a scarf from 1948 by Hugo Grygkar, which makes it my oldest scarf, as well as being older than me. Chevaux de Cirque celebrates the horse as a circus performer. I love the large ostrich plumes and I can almost hear how the bells jingle in rhythm as they trot around the ring.

My Most Vintage Award goes to Chevaux de Cirque.

I have loved seeing your additions this year. Seriously this one is amazing!!

Congratulations, Twin! It’s a gorgeous scarf design and cw. A beautiful gift. I purchased mine in January at Hermès on Broad St NYC (Wall St area). My DH gave me Savana Dance for Christmas last year. It means so much to me. I really adore my 70s. Here are a couple ofView attachment 4939120View attachment 4939118 pics.

Your red 70s are delightful!

This was one of my fave buys of the year: Cosmographia. I resisted long and hard with many H-excuses like "the unicorn/sea serpent is too small". The true reason was because none of the cws suited me. Then I wuz enabled by the inimitable @lanit who showed the San Francisco CW and I

congrats! Great CW!

All four are so wonderful! IDK about this CSGM. You know I have the similar colors from the earlier issue (quite a bit less white, but otherwise the same). Maybe everyone who likes these colors already bought one?

you may be right. I didnt buy the original release, but always admired it. I also think the kawa ora in the same color family was more popular.
