There’s nothing as frumpy as indoor scarves

[AliciaQuays]

Once the be all and end all, now awful.

Imo

Interloper from Gransnet: Ok, we won’t wear your mini skirts, thigh high boots and plunge necklines, if you don’t wear our indoor scarves, bum covering tunics and comfy shoes.

I tend to wear whatever I want to, so I don’t give a fig whether it’s ‘in’ or not.

You guys who think a beautiful silk scarf is frumpy need to travel to France, Italy and Spain. You will see that these scarves are chic chic and worn by all generations

I wear silk scarves (Hermes, Liberty, McQueen, Ted Baker, Ferragamo etc) fairly frequently because I have a scar on my neck that I like to hide (from having thyroid surgery). People often compliment me on how nice my scarves are or how I look when I wear them and I think I they are genuine compliments.

haha, this is just like the olden days when cod would start threads declaring things she perceived as universally popular among mumsnetters to be frumpy, mumsy, sad, crap etc, like birkenstocks or black ankle boots or boden skirts or whatever

not for me either really but while it might indeed be perceived as 'basic' or whatever to wear xyz item, what i find far sadder in terms of poverty of imagination are people who can only define themselves in relation to being negative about other people.

I am a mum, I am old, I am a primary school teacher... so erm zero fucks given here 🤷🏻‍♀️

But at least you're happy 😊

Right?!

My Italian friend wears them, and makes her husband, too.

I got one as a present, don't know what to do with it.

Hate being cold. Like scarves indoors as I tend to wear scoop necks. (Oh shock horror are they frumpy too now)

What about all the fast fashion waste. I like my stuff and I don't care if I'm frumpy

Who gives a monkeys. Wear what you want. The OP is sad to even be thinking this shite. Obviously a follower and not an individual

I like them

I wear a snood indoors as my neck gets strangely cold but the rest of me feels warm. I like to pair it with 'The Mumigan'. DH wears The Dadigan with an indoor cravat. He accidently did a work call wearing it the other day and his colleagues looked shocked and asked 'are you wearing a CARDIGAN!?'

I wouldn't wear jaunty scarf as part of an outfit tho, as on me they make me look like an aging tranny trying to be feminine. Like most accessories I often admire them on others but just can't get it right myself.

They may be the fashion equivalent of pears. We all have a small window where we are not too firm or ripe.

Surprised no one's berated the OP for referring to another poster as "honey".

So I'll do it. MNers don't like words like that OP. Same goes for hubby, and using *s instead of letters in words like "fuck".

You're welcome.

I'm 34 and love me a good scarf, sorry OP, I personally don't think theres an outfit that can't be improved by a nice jolly scarf 👌

Not sure if anyone has posted this ... but seems like 2020 is the year of the scarf

Bloody hell. I can't remember when I last didn't wear a scarf. It's part of my 'look'. I have - erm - rather a lot of them.

Never mind, OP. You might grow up one day and realise that being at home is when you get to wear what the fuck you like because it's no one else's business.

I don't think I laughed so much in ages. Why does it even matter? Do we really need to be that judgy of others choices?
Shock horror! Sat here in a scarf, converse, skinny jeans and an oversize hoodie (pinched from hubby)! Quite happy to be mumsy, frumpy or whatever other label you wish to add. Oooooo and I have dodgy hair thanks to chemo!
My wardrobe suits my lifestyle, I've just spent over an hour painting remembrance figures with little kids.

And I'm warm and comfortable.

I love my indoor scarves, but then I've always seemed to managed to dress at least 20 years older than my age, so maybe that's case closed? QED?

I wear vintage silk scarves all the time- indoors ......AND OUTDOORS!

I particularly love my Cornelia James ones with pearl earrings. Farking gorgeous darling. I am mid - forties and am letting my inner Tory wife have a moment. It's all good.

Margo knows where it is at and the value of a good waft.

Well - I always knew I was no style icon, but as I look at myself now, in my leggings, dress, fleece, slippers and scarf, I see I am beyond redemption.

But it is Baltic here at the moment, and I am more worried about being warm than stylish.

If you want to wear a scarf indoors because its effing freezing, s'okay.
I have never seen a scarf marked 'indoor scarf'. People like to accessorise or they are just scruffy and too poor to put the heating on- like me.

I was called 'honey' by the OP and did question it, but was ignored. Not sure why I was singled out just for asking why the OP gives a fuck if somebody wears scarves or not. My answer remains the same - wear a scarf if you want to, or are cold, don't if not.

But I'm nobody's honey.

I don't think the OP is Cod; I think it's somebody who wants to be thought to be Cod. And that makes it even more of a stupid thread.
