Maybe it was the spirit of the Paris Olympics or my admiration for the style of our French compatriots, but my love for neck scarves is back.
As always, silk is it, with the smooth and airy feel of the fabric against your neck to propel you through your day. The only exception is when you go 100 percent cotton, a bandana washed and dried (and yes, ironed).
The twilly is a long narrow scarf first introduced by Hermès in the late 1930s to be worn around the neck or hair. I like to tie one around my neck and leave the knot in the back. Wrapping your handbag handle in a twilly will effortlessly elevate your look. Originally, Hermès designs were mostly equestrian scenes, a salute to the designer’s equestrian roots. Now, lucky for us, florals, color blocks, jungle animals and mythology adorn the twilly, so you can tell a story without saying a word. Isn’t that what style is, after all?
