Total synchronicity! I've actually been wearing my anthracite MP as SotD, unlike @xincinsin I only have one in each of the 2 extra cws it came in a few seasons ago. Most neutrals don't work for me but I've found my own.

Here with purple and soft black tweed and sheepskin vintage (early '60s) suit jacket (I have the skirt somewhere too). I don't do Instagram, can you tell LOL?
This shade of FP is another very good neutral for me

All right, dear scarfies, I'm hearing some questions about what "neutral" means -- and since I have the same questions, this seems like a good time to learn.
Here are a couple of scarves that in my mind I'd call "neutral" -- I actually had both of them on today and ended up choosing one over the other as "more neutral" with my mushroom taupe top. I'd love to hear your opinions/thoughts.
1. Fleurs et Papillons de Tissus
closeup (white background with black border and print with shades of gray, taupe, and pink)
2. Pierres d'Orient et d'Occident
Taupe border, pale pink background with (relatively) monochrome colors for this print
Which would you choose as "Neutral"? (Both? Neither?)
Which one would you have worn?
And why do I have two scarves that look so much alike? (No answer required on this forum.)

Not really a neutral scarf person. My clothes are usually pretty neutral: navy, gray, black, white.
I tend to pick scarves that add a "pop" of color. However today's choice is neutral for me- lots of soft blue and grey.

I am more of a colorist, but here are my 2 most neutral scarves:
1. Jardin de Leila ( for a navy, grey, blue lover. This is neutral LOL!)
2. Sieste au paradis ( particularly when folded to not show the bright blue section)

Love the way you used MP to accessorize that amazing vintage jacket, papertiger!Total synchronicity! I've actually been wearing my anthracite MP as SotD, unlike @xincinsin I only have one in each of the 2 extra cws it came in a few seasons ago. Most neutrals don't work for me but I've found my own.

You put together THE most incredible outfits... would love to peek inside your closet.
Both are neutral to me because I'm very primary colour, but the bright birds in Pierres lead me to wonder if neutral can also = unaccented. Today I have on jewellery with fiddly bits, so to avoid snagging, I only tied a twilly round my wrist. But the twilly's mint green is actually echoed exactly in the mint green crystal of my pendant and earrings. So did I co-ordinate to the point where I "neutralized" the accent colour?
I've also come across this phrase in the SS and FW scarf threads where someone describes a cw as "wears/reads like a neutral" for them. Always wondered what that means. Does the cw suit their hair/complexion/preferred clothing colour so completely that it blends in and does not register as something separate (as in brown hair, brown jacket, brown scarf)?
I used to know a woman who swore that purple and leopard were both neutrals. She used them the way I would use dark brown and beige, so I suppose that for her they functioned as neutrals? Her fashion sense was very . . . er, bold, so it worked well enough for her, though it's not for everyone.Both are neutral to me because I'm very primary colour, but the bright birds in Pierres lead me to wonder if neutral can also = unaccented.

I agree, xincinsin -- but a scarfie might call a carre neutral for several reasons. I know, for example, that both Pierres and Fleurs et Papillons (the ones I discussed above) are usually bright and colorful, so my colorways are definitely muted. Are muted colors neutral? Sometimes.
I ended up wearing Pierres today because the taupe border blended well with my taupe top and, even with the pink, I thought it was a calmer combination than the higher-contrast black and white of Fleurs. But I'm only gradually working my way into white scarves, so it might be a neutral to someone else.
Dans l'Atelier de Robert Dallet -- monochrome for sure, and it matches the top, but does that make it "neutral"?
If you called it neutral with a matching top, is it still neutral on a contrasting top?
Beautiful tweed, dear! Twins on both carrés.Total synchronicity! I've actually been wearing my anthracite MP as SotD, unlike @xincinsin I only have one in each of the 2 extra cws it came in a few seasons ago. Most neutrals don't work for me but I've found my own.
