Re: Anyone else not a big fan of scarves?

I don’t wear scarves, either for fashion or for warmth. I find them to be a PITA, lol.

I notice on Andrea's thread that a lot of women wear scarves.   For some reason I have never taken to them.  Maybe because I don't know how to style them.    Also, I feel that in some ways they take away from the outfit.   Obviously I'm wrong as they certainly are a huge fashion statement.      I will say that scarves are very pretty just not on me.


I don't like them either.  They really look good on othersSmiley Happy

Re: Anyone else not a big fan of scarves?

I admire them on other people and think they add a lot to a simple outfit.  I have purchased quite a few in the past with the intention of wearing them.  However, I just don't like to bother with them.  On the few occasions I have worn them, I fuss with them constantly, they never seem to stay how I want them and I feel they make me hot!  So, I guess I would say I am a fan of them but just not on me!

Me, Im not a scarf person.  I have wore thin long scarves before but not very many times.

 

IMO the bulky scarves make people look like they are wearing a cervical collar and have no neck.

Re: Anyone else not a big fan of scarves?

Why do you think you are wrong about scarves?  There is no right or wrong; there are only opinions and we're entitled to our opinions.  I collect scarves of all types, I've been a scarf, ruana, wrap person since I was in my 20's.  I don't believe they take anything away from an outfit, I think when done riight,  they enhance and personalize an outfit.  I've never been a "fussy" dresser.  I prefer basic colors and clean lines so scarves are often my pop of color, they add interest and depth to an outfit.

Re: Anyone else not a big fan of scarves?

I only wear scarves around my neck when I wear a leather, suede, wool or other dry cleanable coat or jacket.

 

The scarf keeps body oils from my neck from getting ring around the collar on my garments.  

 

I have some beautiful scarves, many from my travels around the world.  They are so easy to pack and don't break in the suitcase like other collectibles.

I do not care for scarves-except to keep my neck warm in the winter. I really think the "eternity" scarves look terrible.

'alot of women.....is a bit overstated. I've only seen @ECBG  and @lolakimono post pics wearing scarves..(not that there's anything wrong with it) but we've all got different styles of dressing. the scarves I own are 2 knit infinities for cold weather and even then I had to look up how to fashion them on You tube! lol

Wraps and Ruanas?? Forget about it! I'm a lazy dresser

@Imaoldhippie Absolutely!  Scarves can be over done.  Proportion is a big part of the picture.
