Scarves Which scarf format/material is your favourite?

[papertiger]

I love the 140 silks. I found them the most versatile and easy for me to wear. I have tried and tried, but I just can't seem to master many of the techniques for the 90 silks, except for just a few.

I LOVE my one silk 140 but I have basically 5 ways of wearing it

 

[Rockerchic]

I can only do the 140 cashmere silk or silk. I've tried other formats and it's just not me.

Looking at the poll, I'm really happy so many are digging and rocking their 90s!

I am used to hearing quite the opposite, so it's great to hear

 

[skybluesky]

I voted for the silk 90s just because they still reflect/shade as silk (whereas cashmere colours are less forgiving).

They are:

The most versatile to fold/style/tie
Usually have most exciting designs in an option of cws
Strong
Light
Warm or cool
East to carry/pack
Easy to wash (unlike moussies)

BTW Some of your categories could split people. I think you will find that there are many that only buy either mousseilne stoles OR 140s. There are very few that would put twillies and maxi-willies in the same category, let alone the Maxi-twilly and the maxi-twilly Cut.

Also the cashmeres that I find the most wearable are the (men's) 100s.

Absolutely agree with all your reasons about the 90s! The 140s are just too much material for me and more expensive.

I love the 140 C/S and the 140 mousselines the best. My store gifted me a 70 and a 45 and they are the only ones I have; they are great for just casually tying around the neck with a crew neck sweater.

In a very tiny minority with plisse (it didn’t even make the poll), especially with a contrast hem. I wish they were still in production. I find them easier to wear than any other format. My dream would be to have a plisse and a flat carre, in different colorways, of all my favorite designs.

x2 total agree!!

You're probably more of an expert than me on this. I think I have 5 or less ways of wearing them, especially if you count draping them forwards and back as a "technique."

I was able to find a vintage one that had beautiful colors & am on the hunt looking for several others
&they are easy to wear & for me filled in the neckline of a coat that I purchased
Another reason I like the plisse is when I take it off I can put it right on my glove holder
that I keep on my Kelly bag so the chances of losing it are greatly reduced or leaving it behind

70s, but 140 silk is a close second. CSGMs and 90s are too heavy for me.

 

[HeatherZE]

70s always and always. But unfortunately I have less of those than other formats.

 

[surfchick]

I am a huge 140 CSGM fan. I wear them all year long since I am always cold!

 

[kuwa]

But it’s like choosing a favorite child...
I voted for CSGM and anything mousseline. Those were my go-to before lockdown, lately it’s been 90s and plissés. With warmer weather, mousseline losanges.

 

[momasaurus]

I have many 90s, but I actually voted for CSGMs, which I wear almost year round, and 45s, because they are so cute and fun, and the price doesn't hurt much when I need a pick-me-up. I'm wearing them a lot now that it's hot. For me, both these formats are "throw on" whereas the 90s make me stop and think about a suitable knot.

 

[QueenieQ]

while most of mine are 90s silks i voted for 140s CS and 45 silks, they are easier to handle.
90s require a bit more efforts and dressing up, while other 2 formats work well with very casual jeans looks, too

I totally agree with you.
I had to pack quickly some stuff before we went to our country house for the lockdown. I took 4 CSGM and some gavroches, no 90 cm (but I regretted it... since we stayed 80 days out of town ! I missed some of them).
I also love cashmere small losanges, they are very easy to wear.
And twilly as headband.
