Scarves! My guilty pleasure. Anyone Else

I am like Georges Gran and Bella23 in that I wear a dark colour and brighten it up with a jazzy scarf. I am a size 18/20.

I am not keen on having a dark colour next to my face as I have got older. I like the slimming effect of dark clothes so the colourful jazzy scarf works well - I hope.

I do feel that I should be brave and wear more bright colours - like Prue Leith. I think she is quite an fashion inspiration for older women

There a few tutorials on You Tube on different ways to tie a scarf. There is a nice one where you thread the ends through somehow but I can never remember what goes where

I still have loads of Moira C. scarves which I love.

Another scarf lover! I have a huge collection and they are great for pulling together an outfit if you pick one which includes a colour that is an exact match to something that you are wearing.

I have loads many as presents. DD2 bought me a beautiful Ted Baker one as a Christmas present . I like to wear them to wrap around myself as well as around the neck. Always take one in my hand luggage as an extra layer when I fly, saves the back of your neck burning when say in the sun.

I think I must count them out of curiosity I have loads. One of my favourites was £3 in a Tesco summer sale!

I love scarves, and seeing a pretty middle-aged woman wearing one which exactly matched her hair last night on TV reminded me it will soon be time to wear them again.

I rarely discard them; I have pure silk squares from the 60s, small cotton head squares; chiffon ones, enormous patterned squares we used to wear outside our coats, long knitted wool mufflers, twisty snoods, and far too many pashminas.

That’s a great video…If only it were in slow motion! 😂

No, not a scarf wearer, tho I have a couple of soft wool ones for wearing with a Winter court.
Mum, now 80, has a huge drawer full of them which she never wears! I offered to take them to a charity shop but she won’t part with them😂

Winter coat 😆

Another scarf lover here - I would hate to count how many I have!

I am another lover of scarves. I’ve got them in all the colours and all of the sizes! 😂 Quite a few have been bought for me as gifts, but I too have found a few bargains in the charity shop. They complement an outfit I think.

Helpful video but some of those scarves might have been quite difficult to remove if in a hurry!!

Does anybody wear one the way Jenni Murray does? She just drapes a flat scarf over one shoulder and it looks like a table runner!

I am currently reading her book “Fat Cow, Fat Chance” and she seems a good sort so I am waiting to hear what prompted her to wear a scarf like this. Looks daft to me.

Judy Dench wears a scarf over one shoulder. I think she always looks stylish.

I’m a big fan of cotton snoods… good for disguising a wrinkly neck! :-)

Handbags for me. Always good labels but always bought from charity shops or online. Eventually sell them on for at least what I paid. My best friend got a brand new Mulberry for her 50th… well over £1,000 - and to me it really does not look £1000 special

I must confess I love them to. I have something of everything, in winter I revel in my big, 1 meter square light wool ones to wear and the long wool brocade ones that are 2 meters long and very wide, act like a shawl to sine silk ones. Love them.

I’m also a huge scarf lover , I have so many I’ve lost count . I tend to buy them on eBay as they can be good value for little money , they also huge choice plain , patterned, chiffon or viscose ect ect . Whenever I buy a new top I browse on eBay to find one that will compliment the colour / style .
Tap in scarves on Google there you will find lots ideas to wear them , I just take screenshots so then I have something to see how it’s done as I can never remember .

Love scarves - wear them like jewellery. Usually buy them on holiday when there is an unanticipated breeze. They tidy up necklines and jazz up plain tops, dresses and if you use a particular way of knotting them they never move out of place.

I've loved and worn scarves all of my adult life. So many, all shapes and fabrics including wraps. No woolly knitted scarves. Most from charity shops.
Moving house last year I forced myself to fill a bag to donate to the charity shop. 46 scarves. I kept at least that number. Rolled up and secured with a rubber band they take up very little space.

I love scarves - on other people! I can't bear to wear one, I hate anything round my neck and always feel like I'm choking. Even seeing other people in chokers or polo necks makes me feel that way too. I just think I'm weird.

I only wear scarves outdoors, in winter, never as an accessory, so don’t need many. I’ve got about a dozen, including a few that I knitted. My guilty pleasure is buying wool!

Missdeke, I must be weird too then. When I see other people wearing high necks, my throat constricts.

My guilty pleasure (a recent one) is handbags from Mia Tui. They are great organisers and have some lovely colours

Very jealous of all you scarf-wearers! At 4 ft 11 in, wearing a scarf completely obliterates my chubby neck so I look ridiculous. They do look so attractive on other people. Sigh.

Just watched the video and absolutely loved it - thank you PinkCosmos will keep on Favourites for inspiration. Apart from anything else it is quite soothing.
