There’s nothing as frumpy as indoor scarves

Once the be all and end all, now awful.

Is that you fishie? It is, isn't it?! Inimitable posting style

Yeah i thought this.

I really miss the 2010 indoor scarf thing. Warm and practical.

Judging by the current fashion and scarf print stuff eg River Island bedding, I’d say they may be coming back in.

My man wears a pashmina

This is what I'm referring to.

Give us a clue @notso?

Look Darling, old biddies like me, will wear what ever they damn well want..

We don't need someone who thinks they're 'young/trendy/with it/whatever) to tell us what we should or shouldn't be wearing.

Jeez
Here have a biscuit

Put them in the drawer marked Leggings. White stuff tunics. Button necklaces “

I feel the same about my teenage DD's wardrobe. Urban outfitters in particular loves to bring back a strange mix of '70s,'80s and '90s 'fashion'. Much of which was worn by my very unfashionable parents back in the day. Never by the younger generation.
The 'Afghan' style coat we saw at the weekend is a good example. As are 'dad' trainers...The two were displayed together in the shop. WTF!

My indoor essential, my little comfort blanket, is a 'pinny', pocket on the front for pegs and tissues. Never without one.

Much more useful than a scarf.

Also men wearing those stripy scarves in a loop round their neck. JUST STOP IT.

Elodie2019 Link to Afghan coat? I wonder if it's the same type we had in the 90s with the hairy labels and sleeves. I loved mine and wore it to death.

I have never heard the phrase "indoor scarf" before.

So, as you see... if most high st. Shops are 'channelling' a peculiar selection of '70s, '80s,'90s 'fashion' 'channelling' 2010 isn't so bad after all. Maybe you're the one out of touch OP!

Evil Not hairy thankfully! They're also not calling them Afghan coats but they're out there. Faux somethingorother.
Will try and find a link.

Agree that I haven’t wanted to wear an indoor scarf for a number of years. I mean I do to keep warm but not when I’m trying to actually look like I care. On the plus side, at least cardigans are back in fashion.

If 'frumpy' = 'keeps your neck warm', I'm in. Doctor Who scarves for me, nose to waist. And fluffy Uggs, bootleg leggings and smock tops. With fascinators. Whatever it takes.

Who remembers circa 2008 when every bloke would rock up to the pub in a tight t-shirt and one of these around their neck? Ah, them were the days

I have never been a scarf girl myself, my only concession of course being The Mumsnet Scarf which I loved!

PeterRouse I still have one of those somewhere!

I love them - but then I travel a lot for work to countries where air conditioning is set to freezing so they are much needed. I also don't care about what's "in"

What I think is, there is nothing so ageing, as getting older.

On the plus side, at least cardigans are back in fashion.

Were they ever out of fashion?

Dress police on patrol again. Are we in Iran?

I had an Afghan coat in the 70s, never mind the 90s!

My mum swore it stank of dead old goat and threw it down the cellar steps where it stayed in between wearings. It wasn't allowed in the main house.

I am amply bosomed and wear an indoor scarf most the time. It is not for reasons of modesty but because even at nearly 60, I seem to be unable to get a cup of coffee to my mouth without drops going on my front. Scarves with patterns are more forgiving than the plain tops I wear. But no one ever accused me of being at the cutting edge of haute couture.
