Why is Sue Grey wearing two scarves? Is this a thing now?

[Amrapaali]

Exhibits A and B- It is an...umm...interesting look.

I am in peri menopause and feel like a latent volcano. I don't even want to wear one scarf! But the two-scarf thing? Is it a fashion memo that has passed me by? Or just the stylings of an eccentric woman?

I think those are bulletproof scarves. The more the better!

@Sadgirlsummer

One for warmth and one for emotional support after a shitter of a few weeks at work

Emotional supposed scarf sounds like a brilliant idea. I’m going to go and dig one out of the wardrobe for myself.

I have frequently worn two scarves for a while now. Mainly because I wear a light one indoors and add a warmer one when going outside

Wool scarves are itchy so it feels nice to put a pashmina style underneath. Plus you can take off the wool scarf but keep the pashmina on as a shawl once you’re indoors.

One to keep her neck warm

One for whipping off and lassoing fleeing Ministers and SpADs with

Go Sue Gray!

I'm another that wears indoor and outdoor scarves. I have been lambasted on here in the past but I think indoor scarves are timeless.

I’m not sure but it looks very nice.

She needs the Lenny scarf.

Ooh the Lenny scarf is stunning! I have a similar infinity one from Zara. It is so snuggly like someone giving you a warm hug

Aaah fond memories . Back in the days when DD was young and we still frequented play areas, I almost went up to a woman wearing this scarf to ask her if she was an MNer. Chickened out at the last minute

Ohh I do like the idea of an indoor and outdoor scarf though! Maybe it’s cold in her office? Or she’s getting rid of Itchy woollen feelings? Maybe she needs a spare to whack Johnson on the head with 🤣

I once saw someone in the park eyeing up my discount Kurt Geiger trainers, as I did hers…

I sometimes double scarf and have a friend who does the same. It is usually cotton/linen scarves that I keep on indoors and then on a very cold day a knitted type scarf that would be worn with an outdoors coat too.

I’ve been wearing 2 scarves for a while, it works if you have different textures and contrasting colours, I wrap them round together and they look sophisticated. It makes scarves which are boring on their own, more interesting. I was always after buying more interesting “feature” scarves but discovered I could create that look from two.

Right, so who also does pins and brooches?

I do

But only as a huge decorative button on shirts if the neckline is too low. Or pinned on to hats. Or sometimes bags. But never pinned to my lapel!

I often have two scarves on outside, one lightweight (normally patterned) and one wool (plain). Love scarves so any excuse to pile them on

You do hats too!

I do this! Scarf that I will keep in while working at my desk in the office and scarf on top of that because obvs I need an 'outdoor' scarf or I'd be cold

She has bare legs in pic 1 which looks like madness. I wear a pashmina in the office as its freezing. I like the idea, why not?

@Thirtytimesround

She’s a civil servant, not a politician, not a public figure. She’s been shoved into the limelight with a rubbish task by her selfish boss and now she’s famous.

Could we perhaps not mock her clothing choices on a website set up to support women?

Just a thought.

I agree but…

• she looks absolutely knackered poor woman; and
• I think maybe she’s previously left one in the office, found it when she was next in but then had two scarves so wore both so she didnt forget either

The po-faced upbraiding on a Style and Beauty is becoming increasingly tiresome. I sometimes thing there are posters on rotation sent to hunt down something deemed to be unacceptable and we must all be scolded for it.

Hahahaha. ‘I would comment on a man also’.

Weird how often people commenting on a woman’s appearance definitely absolutely would say the same about a man……but just never have.

So strange.

Did you miss all of the comments about Dominic Cummings's clothes at the time? Weird how determined you are not to see this.
