Scarves Scarf of The Day 2023- Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Karenska]

I want to thank everybody who planned the clever themes for every week of the new year and I‘m really looking forward to the lovely posts they will inspire! This is such a lovely community and being here - even though I quite often just follow as a silent reader - is always equally diverting and educating.

There are a great many good and sensible resolutions; it‘s very interesting to read how we mostly share the same sentiments towards the collecting and wearing of our scarfs!

My resolution is to be less lazy with scarf knotting because it makes me wear my 90 silks too little. It‘s easier to just drape a CSGM around me and call it a day than to find a good way to wear a 90 silk. Maybe I should buy some more scarf rings?

I have not yet found a way not to feel guilty about every new scarf I buy because I think I have too many already. (Not just Hermès but other brands and styles too; there is virtually no limit to finding new things I like and want to wear.) Sometimes I wonder if I should just stop looking for scarfs online once and for all - and yet I love discovering new designs and vintage treasures. I’ve already started to wear two scarfs at once when it was particularly cold outside, one as a wrap and another one as a head scarf. But when even random colleagues ask you just how many scarfs you actually own, it’s probably time to slow down a bit…

Excellent resolution, Little Foxes, especially where the 90s are concerned. I cannot tell a lie, I am a Boring Knottist . And with a drawerful of scarf rings, too . As for people asking how many scarves I have, or when some ask the price , I just give some vague answer.

Happy New 2023 dear Scarfies!

Let the difficult (really horrible for me) 2022 be gone. I feel that with everything that was thrown on the world (and on me personally) this past year has caused me a free fall in so many ways at the same time, that joining this thread for spirit-catapulting or parachuting actually provided some up-lifting. It also resulted in yet another free fall down the rabbit H hole, but at least this one I’ve caused myself! It is in great company and with much good humour!

Exciting agenda for the new 2023! It seems like serendipity that an inspiring welcome to the new Scarf of the Day 2023 page comes from the savvy hostess by the gentle name @bunny and her adorable black kitty – the guides to the next in line celebration, the beginning of the Chinese year of black bunny / cat.

Everyone’s 2023 “scarfing” objectives are very sound and resonate with me. Mine are as follows:

• Carrying on happily if possible
• Practicing painless purchasing (PPP)
• Diversifying
• Attempting knot tying
• Not exceeding my preferable number 8 per year (Reasonable justifications: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, my Birthday, DS’s (=dear son) birthday, DD’s (=dear dog) B’day, H’s (= Hermes) B’day) Taking into consideration the alleged price increase, this number should be easily changed to 4 – Reasonable justification:“The sacred number of Hermes was four, and the fourth day of the month was his birthday” (Britannica). The question is: 4 scarves annually or one scarf on the 4-th day of each month, though? The answer - flexible approach: could be easily adjusted to specific circumstances! I can commit to 4 annual purchases. But monthly acquisitions, if they were affordable, could have been such a perfect demonstration of pluricultural perspective – tribute to Orthodox Christmas, Chinese New Year, Ramadan, Canada Day, Independence Day (US), Fete Nationale (Bastille Day), and etc.!
• Exercising casual ware
• Fighting Robe Legere addiction
• Overcoming Robe Legere addiction

Vivat 2023! Happy scarfing fulfillment to all!

I hope all the woes of 2022 are behind you as you move forward with these excellent resolutions! I think we all need to celebrate Hermes' birthday on the 4th day of every month.

Love this!!! All sound, sensible and allows for the occasional MUST HAVE. Dear Stylehound, I’m glad that 2022 is behind you and sending you good cheer for a peaceful and happy 2023. And to all of us.

Excellent idea, Moma. Hear, hear!

Wow-- I love this @leechiyong and I love your Bayou with Love scarf ring! Is it the beaded one?

Thank you! It’s their old silver one:

Hello Scarfies,
I apologise for some mishandling in recent days. I still have to tame my new phone, especially because it won't let me resize photos.

IBut when even random colleagues ask you just how many scarfs you actually own, it’s probably time to slow down a bit…
So what ? That's your signature !

What does it exactly mean ?

I am amazed by this mathematical demonstration !
As for me, I did a little inventory yesterday. The Universe is sending me a message... I have 66 in 90/90. Does this mean stop? Is 6 for the year ok? Should I let go of the 666? Isn't that diabolical?
In any case, I feel like Saint Michael in the desert when faced with so much temptation (I forbid myself to look at the other discussion with the newcomers). Fortunately, on the H site, there are no colours that I am looking for... yet !

Temptation, thy name is Hermès scarves.

Happy New Year, everyone! I usually have a general resolution to make each year better than the previous, but this year, I want to wear my scarves when I can. I rarely go out and the weather’s only conducive to scarves for about two months, so I really ought to take advantage when I can. Today’s was the LE Pegase Pop for Coded by Kids with a Bayou with Love scarf ring:

Gorgeous, leechiyong. I love this Creamsicle colorway. We are sisters - mine’s like LifeSavers. Archive shot.

Resolution number 3: shop in my collection.
Scarves always have a special reason to appeal to me. I may have a list of criteria, but there are still many temptations... For example, this year I'm going for Costume de fête and the little beads on the edge... My "Arbre du vent" will help me wait or resist!

Another delight is Le jardin des peintres. I like several colours but I'll have to try them. For the blue and pink, "Plumes en fête" and "Index palmarum" will do for today

“Shop in my collection“. When tempted look at what’s in our closets. Ingenious, Coco. I will try this.

I'm looking for a second one in this cw for a loooong time...(thanks for the picture @HermesHope )

This is indeed a glorious scarf! The combination of purple and turquoise is just one of a kind.. Good luck in searching for it! I wish there would be something in this/similar CWs in the current collection...

Hello my dear scarf friends! I am thrilled by the great photos and information and enjoy the thread now already to the fullest.
Unfortunately, I was sick the last few days and have already missed the connection a little, but could start today with my color scheme problem scarves.

I don't have that many grand scarves (I'm terribly embarrassed, but for the life of me I can't remember it CGSM GSCM GSCM....) - And compared to you, of course, ridiculously few 90 cm scarves. I think the silk scarves suit me better because they have a bit of a sheen to them, the muted one of the CSGM GSCM - you know what I mean - doesn't suit me as well in my opinion.

So for now. let's have a look at the grand carres I own and the problems I have with some of them.

Apologies for the pictures, I'm not feeling particularly well yet, and I'm pretty unphotogenic unfortunately. AND I gained a lot of weight. I personally think, that I need a slimmer face to make the scarves look good, so some pictures are from those glory times when I ate properly and went to the gym on a regular basis......

Let's start with the scarf I've been dying to get: Large Triangle Sweet dreams in shades of green. I find it a little bit "dull" on me, althoug I really LOVE the desing and am a true Baijtlik- fan:

Let's move on to my problem scarf: Mytiques Phoenix in orange / blue.
The scarf has sentimental value for me. I bought it when I realized that I need to get away from certain people to be happy. So the scarf was an anticipated symbol of success, so to speak - and I wear it with pride today. The Birkin, which I requested at the same time, I still do not have, however.

That the colors do not look good on me I was aware at the time, but unfortunately not how bad they look..... I combine the scarf with earrings that were dirt cheap (8 euros?), but match the design perfectly - hopefully they never break

let's move on to Sweat Dream men's scarf- I wear it really seldom although I fought for it SO hard at the boutique. Perhaps that memory is attached to the scarf.. Sadly because I utterly love the design. And the typo "sweat dreams" Lord, I had to sweat for it... I took the foto today, you can clearly see that I am still sick and gained a ton! I am sorry for the ugly pic

Now let's have a look at my two most loved carres in big sizes:

Firstly: Fantasie indiennes. Initially bough to hang it on the wall but I loved it so much, that I decided to wear it. It came to me to Stockholm, to Rome, to Nizza, to Paris, to Vienna, to Triest and literally everywhere. That said I am still fighting with the yellow parts in it.


and the last one in my small collection of bigger formats: la danse des Amazones. I figured out that the orange blue colorscheme of my Phoenix doesn't work so good for me, so I searched for a design I liked in red- tones. Initially I wanted to purchase Bingata, but didn't like it on me and fell in love with the little wise owl on it. Sadly I pulled a string at exactly that element of the carre with my morganite ring I purchased to wear it together with the scarf.

Thanks for reading my long long post!!!

Milli, I think all these scarves work for you. You might pair Mythiques Phoenix with a turquoise sweater or blouse, which should complement and tone down the orange, but I like it on you very much. It’s a stunning colorway. The Danse des Amazones is beautiful on you and your makeup is lovely with it. I do think that the Sweet Dreams that you currently own is a better colorway for you than your desired giant triangle.

Thank you dear! That's a great idea to tone the orange down by wearing something turquoise!


Actually I do own both sweet dreams, although I prefer starring at the Triangle as I don't like it that much on me....

Happy New Year Scarfies! Thank you for the articulate posts of resolutions and lessons learned on our little thread and saluting all our current and past scarves mistresses for keeping our thread lively and interesting!

As my silk collection has reached a point of no more space in the tansu, I am definitely in that period of life of editing to as few scarves and shawls as possible. Last season I received only one very special silk and it was more expensive being a marble silk. I truly thought I could stay on my 90 ban forever but broke that resolution since the process of the marble silk and its design captured my heart.

So, to aid in this process, I go through my edits with the hope that rehoming them so that these beautiful scarves can be worn and appreciated by others as well as my letting go of things that I just can’t seem to wear due to current lifestyle changes. There are a number of designs that still take my breath away just looking at them, but the majority seem to be languishing in their boxes or shelves. that is the bigger battle for my heart.

Wearing what I have is my simple resolution as well as letting go. The new year is a time to refresh, renew and to pare down my life in general! I’m excited to leap into these goals immediately! Wishing you all great success, good health and scarf happiness for 2023!

Today I tried to live up to my resolution to wear my silk carrés more often and went for my most difficult one: Tapis Persans 140 silk with lots of slippery fabric. The knot is not terribly exciting but at least I managed to wrangle it in place and make it stay there.

This is such a happy scarf and I love your emerald green shirt!

It‘s great to know that we have similar techniques ignoring/evading questions concerning our scarf collecting habit. The only one whose questions cannot be ignored is my mother because she knows me too well. But I‘ve started gifting and lending my Hermès scarfs to her, so she can join in the fun, too. Yet she is more sensible than me and has not bought a single Hermès scarf herself so far. Well, she doesn’t have to, she has me .

For me, the Men’s collection are very good investment pueces and I love the 100 size format. I’ve yet to edit a Men’s scarf from the tansu.
