It’s more about the width of the stripe than the stripe.  Just make sure you choose a stripe that will compliment your overall body scale and proportion.

Nautical is always a great look for spring and this spring it seems as though they are bigger and bolder than ever!   Do you go horizontal or vertical?  Horizontal is considered nautical.

It is not the stripe as much as the size of the stripe that matters when you are choosing one.  If you are absolutely adverse to wearing a stripe, just go with a summer nautical stripe  handbag or scarf as shown and you’ll be right on trend for spring.  Just do it and remember:

Today, I ran across an article on tying Hermes’ scarves.  Check out the 16 different ways to wear Hermes scarves.

I find that over-sized squares sometimes the most challenging.  Don’t “think too hard” about tying or using accessories.  Keep it simple, not contrived and you’ll feel confident wearing a scarf.  Try these ways with a large square:

• Around your wrist
• Around your waist
• Through your belt loops
• Weave through a chain belt
• Like an ascot
• Wrapped like a “cowboy scarf”
• Rolled on the diagonal and thrown across your shoulders
• Around a lapel of your jacket
• Drape around your handbag
• Around a ponytail
• Around your head a.k.a. “hippy-style”
• Pulled through a belt loop and knotted once
• Around your back like a cape (you’ll have to have some verve for this!)

Just have some fun with it.  If you are fortunate enough to own a Hermes Scarf show it off, wear it, have fun with it,  be proud to own one!  And remember:
