Thank you, Maedi!Beautiful and an immediate mood booster in these glorious colors.
The colours are an unusual mix but beautifully tied, congrats HE!Good morning!
Picked up scarf mail yesterday. Not a design I was looking for, nor one fitting many of my rules, but the colors were yummy (honestly: purple and orange!) , the price right, I do not have something similar and not least: I imagined it would look good when tied. Well you can help me decide: Voyage en Hermes - Hermes en Voyage.

I admire the collection rules of all of you (I cannot resist an expedition scarf either @FA73 and the clear sense of your styles and colors, which so many of you demonstrate !
I do not have that and I shop more randomly even though I try to be strict. But once in a while something unexpected and hitherto unnoticed pops up like this. Often I end up wearing such pieces more, as I am not as careful about them as some of the meticulously curated scarves. This one could end up being a regular workhorse.
Wish you all a happy Tuesday!
Thank you kindly, dear darkstar!You are glowing in these colours, dear Croisette7! Glorious.😍😍😍

Love this look and this is a fabulous GT @redheaddem!My most important rule is to buy only pieces I really really adore and will actually wear.
I prefer:
- colourful (warm) base colours
- designs that really speak to me
- colourful or contrasting or black hems
I tend to avoid
- large borders
- white hems
- natural or grey chine base colours
- extremely classic or extremely cartoonish designs.
I absolutely love cashmere, both the 140 and triangle, and prioritise those because I wear them the most.
I especially love the triangle format for its versatility. They are easy to style for work and casual occasions, and always come in handy.
I love wearing mine close around my neck, but today we walked for hours on the beach and the wind started to hurt my ears, so I tied a bias folded triangle around my head and knotted it in my neck. Warm, comfortable and stylish (or so I tell myself 🤣)

Beautiful addition and so lovely with your cuff @AnnaE!I don’t necessarily have rules for buying scarves. I buy what I like. And I like most of them!

I like your "Go" rules @Jereni and especially this example of them!My scarf rules have certainly evolved since I started all this but have stabilized of late.
I typically avoid:
- Large borders, esp white
- Super vif colors - they compete too much with my coloring / make my hair look dull, etc.
- Scarves with lots of blank space - ESPECIALLY when there is an intricate middle, then blank space around it… BdG BdG BdG BdG…
- ^Related, designs that are particularly unbalanced in some way. Drives me nuts when there’s like one corner that’s strangely blank and I have to avoid it.
- Playful, cartoony designs in very playful colorways. I always like these in theory but they tend to make me feel like I’m wearing nursery room wallpaper.
- Scarves with only two colors. This may be weird, but I just like being able to pair a scarf with more than 2 colors in my wardrobe, otherwise it can feel kind of limiting.
- Classic, equestrian designs (usually)
My ‘Go’ rules:
- It’s one of my grails!
- It’s an Alice Shirley or Annie Faivre in a flattering cw.
- Evenly distributed pattern that’s not too big or too small.
- Jewel tone, emerald-y greens - resistance is fairly futile! Good thing there aren’t many of them.
- Animals, plants and trees, landscapes.
Today with Cheval Sirene … this one breaks a couple rules. Got some imbalance to the design and I think of it as mainly two colors.

Please do not rehome your Cavaliers @FA73!!!Ah, rules...
Here are mine:
1- I collect only three themes: world cultures (costumes, myths, rituals, folklore), nature (biodiversity, gardens, landscapes, representation of animals in art etc.), and scientific explorers and voyagers. I have been able to abide by these rules, have to resist very hard when I desire a scarf not falling into these categories (Les toits de Paris would be one.. fortunately, resistance has not been needed since I never came across one that was affordable...)
2 - I used to have a rule of no multiples of the same design, which became no multiples in the same format of the same design, which became, ok whatever. I now have four exceptions to this rule (Aline Honoré (surprise!)'s Parure de samouraïs, Sieste au paradis and Au coeur de la vie and now Pavement). The new rule is, no more than two of the same design.
3 - For me, a Hermès scarf is a carré, so no triangle or twilly or rectangle (making rules to restrict the buying really). Only 140 and 90. I have only one plissé, which was a gift.
4 - The key words are meaningful, love, and wear. I need to like the design flat and tied, not too busy, not too empty, not too classic, not too futuristic, not too figurative, not too abstract. Then the usual suspects: fill the void, colors that work, avoid large borders.
5 - When something does not work, as it usually happens when I stray from the rules, rehome and don't look back. I did so with a praised Acte III that absolutely did not work for me.
So here are two rule breakers:
Expéditions polaires françaises - Missions Paul-Emile Victor. I don't particularly care for the design - very classic, the size of the dogs, lots of blank spaces - so I seldom wear it. But I had to have it as Hermès honors a major explorer, Paul-Emile Victor, whom I deeply admire. And also, this scarf found me, I believe in signs.

The other one is this Cavaliers du Caucase, I think it was my first CSGM. Absolutely love the theme, the warm orange and the lavender. Tied, it is beautiful but I find the design messy and too busy. I did not like the feeling of slight annoyance each time I looked at it. So I rehomed it. It did not sell and sat on the consignment site for over 200 days. I finally asked for it to be shipped back with the idea of selling it elsewhere. I looked at it and liked it again. For now, it stays.
