The Hermes scarf. I’ll never be without one.
Worn by royalty, celebrities, politicians, Hollywood starlets, and fashionistas, the Hermes scarf has graced the shoulders of some of the world’s most famous and glamorous women.
With spring quickly approaching, on an unseasonably warm Charleston afternoon, I tossed my cozy black cashmere pashmina into the closet. I carefully unfolded my blue and black one Hermes scarf out of my drawer. The great thing about a Hermes scarf, or any beautifully crafted silk scarf for that matter, is that it may be worn virtually in any climate during any season. However, I get the most wear out of mine in the spring and summer. Let me count the ways…
Draped around the neck with a Hanes white T-shirt and a great fitting pair of Jeans (my favorite).
Tied as a belt, cinching the waist of a favorite sundress.
As a headband.
Folded into a triangle as a dressy top to wear with some crisp, white jeans.
Knotted onto your favorite over-sized buttery leather bag.
Tied around a giant straw hat.
As a tent-like disguise for your hair rollers, whilst sneaking in a last minute mani-pedi at the nail salon before a big night out. Okay, maybe only my mother, Leslie, does that...
After running out of ideas, I consulted YouTube for some fresh ones. Searching “How to wear an Hermes Scarf,” I stumbled upon a wonderful video from Tattler Asia, of tying one in more ways I could ever have imagined- including making a dress out of two scarves, and braiding it into your hair (just like the Spring 2010 ad campaign)!
