My go to is a tie-like - Runcarla, very much like yours.</p> <p>I think scarves and brooches are both somewhat unusual in North American corporate dress (which is the bulk of my dressing needs), so I find it a delicate balance - being bold but not outside the corporate lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361944 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 20:22:25 +0000 Carla 2361944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had a ‘thing’ for silk scarves the last half dozen years, but I wear them in maybe half a dozen ways - so, 2.0? &nbsp;I&nbsp;<i>really&nbsp;</i>got into wearing head scarves when DH bought a ramshackle (but still cool) convertible in 2020 and we started driving around our county exploring. &nbsp;I also:</p> <p>-wrap and tie around neck (like a turtleneck)<br />-wear like a ‘tie’ (see below)<br />-attach to handles of bag/purse.</p> <p>I like my scarves to stay put and not slither around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361937 Sat, 01 Jun 2024 16:31:28 +0000 Suz 2361937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1: that is a pretty scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2: You wear it so well! I like both versions!&nbsp;</p> <p>I used to view scarves as formal or fussy but I don't, anymore. Once I found some that I could tie (or just drape) in ways that worked easily for me, I started wearing them regularly. Now they are a bit of a signature item for me, at least in the cooler months. Even when they are less "in style" I tend to add one. It's partly because of the short hair -- a proportion issue, as well as warmth.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361921 Fri, 31 May 2024 21:37:16 +0000 Aquamarine 2361921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking for myself, I think of “indoor” scarves as a decorative element or accessory in an outfit. For a while it has seemed (at least to me) that most people have pared down their purely “decorative” pieces in favor of more casual attire.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361906 Fri, 31 May 2024 13:35:41 +0000 Angie 2361906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carol,</b> you might like to read this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2024/05/08/the-practical-polish-of-a-tidy-square-knot/">https://youlookfab.com/2024/05.....uare-knot/</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361900 Fri, 31 May 2024 13:02:26 +0000 Carol 2361900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mirjana--thanks!<br />Angie--thank you! hate to say, I'm not sure. (just looked it up...looks like this is the better way to tie the knot, so I will try that next time.)<br />Aquamarine--thank you. I'm not sure what you mean about scarves post-pandemic, unless you mean people were using them to cover their faces.<br />Bonnie--thanks. It really is&nbsp; an item that makes an easy impact, like large sunglasses. My mother always wore large sunglasses, and it looked like she had a mysterious story behind her.<br />Jaime--thank you! although checking again, it looks like Rhoda did the half-Rhoda before I did.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361868 Fri, 31 May 2024 02:29:32 +0000 Jaime 2361868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of a half-Rhoda really made me smile. Your experiments look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361866 Fri, 31 May 2024 00:48:35 +0000 Bonnie 2361866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a 1.0, too. I wear them for warmth in winter and for sun and mosquitos in the summer. I really like all the ways you've tried your scarf. It's a great way to add a third piece to a hot weather outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361865 Fri, 31 May 2024 00:47:25 +0000 Aquamarine 2361865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all your renditions. You wear them well. I wish I could wear scarves more, but the last few winters I’ve been too warm to wear them outdoors and indoors, well, it feels contrived post-pandemic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/scarf-two-ways#post-2361864 Thu, 30 May 2024 23:01:01 +0000 Angie 2361864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both ways look super cute, <b>Carol</b>!

I am definitely 1.0.</p> <p>Which means I've been wearing it the most common way: in winter, wrapped in an infinity or once/twice around style, over a warm shirt.</p> <p>Decided to play around with this one today, which could really suit any season.&nbsp; The first is sort of a knotted-at-the-neck look, and I like how it shows some skin. The second I call the "half-Rhoda"...it's the Rhoda headwrap style, but with the head exposed. My favorite is the second--the first looks a little formal in my town, but could be played around with.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do really like this Met tutorial...I like the first photo. I will definitely try that next.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.metmuseum.org/blog/how-to-tie-a-scarf-nine-ways">https://store.metmuseum.org/bl.....-nine-ways</a></p> <p>I think that there is a problem with scarves for people like me, and there are a lot of people like me. People who grew up in very casual towns, and people who grew up with mothers in the garden--mothers more comfortable in jeans and a sweatshirt than a scarf. Scarves read so formal, and so proper. But I don't think they need to be, and that's something I'm interested in.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
