This is a fabulous post crowned by your beautiful orange scarf and accessories. Will bookmark the color outlines.Welcome to day two of our explorations of power scarves. Today’s sub theme is one we often use as a power tool: Colour: a signifier of intent.
A note that we have an upcoming theme on colour, so I’ll try to keep this focussed on colour as it relates to power!
Colour is a powerful tool in our wardrobe. As many of our scarfies have shown, a good understanding of the colours that work well for us can do wonders to transform an outfit from functional to flattering. The right colour can enhance our natural beauty, while the wrong one can wash us out or make us look ill (I’m talking about you, citrus colours!) While it’s true that power scarves often make use of strong colours, we can enhance this influence by selecting colours that align with the mood, tone or perception we want to invoke. A strongly coloured scarf is an easy way to signal intent, and set a mood, before we say a word. Similarly, choosing a colour based on how we want to feel can be a psychological boost. In either case, selecting a brightly coloured scarf is a power move and captures attention!
Here’s a quick cheat sheet for when you want to amplify your power with colour:
Red scarves exude power and passion. Red is the colour of fearless energy. It’s the colour most often chosen by sports teams, due to its association with winning. It’s a perfect choice when you want to feel powerful and make a strong impression.
Orange is often associated with creativity, or boldness. As @Redbirdhermes noted yesterday, wearing orange will certainly get you noticed - it’s a vibrant, hard to ignore colour that demands attention. Wear orange when you want to stand out, express yourself, promote an idea, or be heard.
Yellow scarves radiate joy and celebration. It’s an colour often associated with new beginnings and awakening. A yellow power scarf tells the world you’re optimistic, open, and unafraid to shine.
Blue scarves bring calm authority. A deep blue, navy or indigo scarf can ground your look and communicate quiet strength, while lighter blues offer a sense of openness and peace. Blues can evoke the impassive strength of oceans, or the tranquility of a clear summer sky, as demonstrated so nicely by @darkstar66 earlier! It is ideal for moments when you need both clarity and control.
Green scarves embody balance and growth. Nature is rich with greens of all shades and tones. Wearing green speaks to our connection with nature, to our literal and figurative roots, and to the essence of life itself. A green power scarf suggests resilience and connection to nature, perfect for moments of transition or self-renewal.
Pink is linked with compassion and affection, embracing qualities traditionally associated with femininity, though it’s evolved to be a symbol of modern empowerment. A pink power scarf says you’re in touch with your emotions and unafraid to lead with your heart, ideal for when you want to express kindness, warmth, and strength all at once.
Purple scarves indicate royalty or prestige. Once the domain of royalty due to the difficulty of producing purple dye, purple is the colour most associated with female empowerment, from the suffragettes to the chosen colour for international women’s day. Wearing purple is a way to show that you know your worth.
Style tip: Keep a small collection of scarves in ‘power colours’ that match different moods or circumstances: interviews, creative meetings, or days when you need a boost.
What colour do you go to when you need to amplify your power?
My own wardrobe leans heavily into dark neutrals, so I regularly use brightly coloured scarves to lift my look. A colour I’ve struggled with is orange, but it’s undeniable energy along with the encouragement (and enabling) of our wonderful scarf community has softened me to it. I now have quite a bit of orange in my accessories and use it when the day really calls for a punch!

P.S. I have @Maedi and I think @Cookiefiend to thank for the shoe enablement 🤣 (sorry if I missed anyone!)
Beautiful scarf and sentiment and so very fond of your amethyst pendant.I'm going with purple today, because I certainly do know my worth.
Madison Avenue Celebrating 10 Years is my power scarf of the day.

So perfect on green. I was thinking of wearing my yellow one this week.
Totally agree on their version of I will survive. A song to go with purple and self worth awareness.Spectacular! The last two with these colors are amazing!
That must have been so fun!
Their version of 'I Will Survive' is one of my favorites.
ohmigosh - I love this post!
(I also had the glasses with enormous framesI'll see if I can find a photo!)
Beautiful blues and the ocean is very powerful!
Orange sneaks are the best - I love mine!
Orange also reads as a friendly color - I can truthfully say that I get approached for help (answering questions, giving directions) when wearing it!
<mic drop>
YASSS Queen!
Perfect look for our Red Queen!
(twins on the Lalbhai!)
ohmigosh Croisette - this is just gorgeous with this green jumper!
So romantic and a beautiful poem.I had scarf mail over the weekendand naturally you’ve gotta see it … but how to make it fit the theme?
(I know I don’t *have* to, but it’s fun)
This scarf was referred to as a ‘watery’ color last week, and water is very powerful. It can wash away entire cities, the ocean’s waters harbor incredible animals - some we’ve never even seen and perhaps don’t want to, it turns rocks into sand. It soothes us with its sounds, cleans our clothes, nourishes our plants (and us too!), and cools us down.

Great waves looked over the others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before’

Yes it is and not my only Annie Faivre with fishes! 🐠 I think I'll post another one today, I love them so much. I mean, Annie Faivre scarves AND fishes. 🤣There is something special about either being at the water's edge or in it or on it that is freeing and calming. I love your strong ocean blue scarf @darkstar66. Is it Rencontre Ocean?

Fabulous - so glad you’re feeling better!Good morning!
Thank you @Lellabelle for truly inspirational power-posts!!
Due to the local holiday I have no meetings or occasions to express power at work this week and have some days off as well.
So the scarf today mainly had to have the superpower of healing and even getting me out the door. A large cashmere one might do that. And first lipstick for days - I look almost alive 🤧

Wish you all a powerful day!
❤️❤️❤️So romantic and a beautiful poem.
Marvelous pinks!
That is a great sunny yellow!Hello and good morning,
So...another Annie Faivre design and another one with fishes, Grands Fonds, in yellow. About 10 years ago I started to look for it but prices were astronomical then. Meanwhile I have 2 90s and 1 mousseline 140. I would like to add more yellow scarves, but H seems to do mostly blue and if I spot a yellow one I often don't like the design. Also took a photo as a "top" but am afraid to post it, it looks a bit too "naked". 🫣View attachment 6158575View attachment 6158576

En Liberté today for an important work meeting!

All of my scarves are bright, with bold patterns, high contrasts, and strong motifs, so all I have to do to be on theme this week is to reach into the drawer and pull one out! So this morning I decided to enhance the theme by reaching for a power blazer. The black and white pattern is so fine it registers as light gray, so a colorful scarf is needed so I don’t get washed out. I went with leggings and boots to keep things more casual.
ETA that I got compliments on my scarf during my first work meeting, including that my scarf game is the best of anyone in the organization! Not gonna disagree 😆

Thank you @Lellabelle for a wonderful introduction yesterday and today. Like @darkstar66, your styling advice from a few months (or was it years ago?) is a reference for me, and so will be your text on colors.
I do love the bold orange and the joyous yellow and the brilliant turquoise and have more than a fair share of those in my collection. But I also love the concept of quiet luxury. The CSGMs make me feel powerful by being shielded and to me, this one particularly makes a statement of timelessness, sophistication, and confidence without shouting it. All'Orto Botanico di Palermo today.

My SOTD is not particularly on theme today but, it does offer up the power of warmth, quiet warmth. The delicate colours show nicely against the tonal backdrop of my tee. SOTD is All'Orto Botanico di Palermo.

Sigh. 😍 Thank you for sharing this. I’m so smitten and tempted by it.
CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!!! Oh my word, this is like the mother of all grails!!! Looks amaaaaazing on you!

Black and pink is SUCH a fantastic power combo! It used to be one of my go-to pairings, I’m just less sure how good I look in pink these days. Epic on you!
