the art of wearing floaty scarves ...

I've never really been a floaty scarf wearer, but I'm going to become one because when my arm gets tired they make a jolly good sling now I'm allowed to wean myself off the proper one.
but how do you stop them falling in your dinner / drifting into the washing up bowl / generally being irritating? I was at an event with tealights on Friday and realised I was a fire hazard! :eek:
these are long thin silk scarves mostly, tied at the ends.

Turn them round so the long bits are at the back, then they won't fall in your dinner plate/washing-up bowl.0

Maybe try some that are slightly less floaty - i.e heavier. Less likely to be floating about without you noticing. Or maybe try tieing them so they are shorter?
Can you tell I have never mastered floaty scarves either!:o"I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants." A. Whitney Brown0 -
Tuck it down the front of your blouse so it's like a cravat. :rotfl:0

i like wearing scarves to school. they are surprisingly warm if i'm on duty, but easy to remove if i get too hot when teaching. I tend to tuck the loose bits inside my cardi if i don't want them flapping about.know thyselfNid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus...0

one of the problems with the flapping / not flapping solutions is that the ends have to be knotted to give the required sling support: as it's a bit of a black art to get the right length they then stay knotted.
So there's a small lump down my blouse ... :rotfl:Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
I bought a scarf from Tesco that was sewn together at the ends, like a loop rather than a trailing scarf. Looped round the neck twice, it hung just right with no floaty ends.
It made me wonder about sewing the two ends of a scarf together to make a loop, if the scarf had no tassels, as it solved the floaty ends problem and also the problem of it keeping shifting so that it gets tighter round the neck and the ends hanging ever longer.A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion0 -
