Maxi Twilly ~ more ways to knot, wear and tie

Over the last couple of weeks, I've received a lot of requests echoing the style challenge submitted via blog comment by Ros:

I love my maxi twilly have the Brazil in grey but am finding it a bit long. Hope your next post gives some ideas to wear it a bit shorter.

Many thanks to Ros, and everyone who asked similar questions. I enjoyed the challenge, and hope you'll like the how-to's and ideas.

Look #6: 'Double Tour' from the Hermès Maxi Twilly knotting leaflet

Knot the ends of your Maxi Twilly together (I secured them with a Petite scarf ring in the basic slide), and place on your neck. Cross the loop in front of you, and bring behind your neck.

Pull one of the loops out, cross, and bring behind your neck again.

arrange the folds to your liking..

LOOK #7 - Looped cross-slide

Fold your Maxi Twill in half, and slide a round scarf ring (I used an Anneau Infinity) to the center

Place the scarf around your neck



Take one end, and pull it through your scarf ring



repeat with the other side

You can vary the look and length by wearing the scarf closer of further away from your neck.. you decide on this in the first step, by pulling the loop around your neck looser or tighter.

With a high loop starting point:

With a low loop starting point:

Variation #1: Maxi Twilly bow knot: pull both ends again through the scarf ring (here with a medium starting point)

Variation #2: Maxi Twilly half bow knot - as above, but with one scarf end pulled out




Variation #3 - as step #1, but with the scarf pulled close to the neck

Look #8: 'Ceinture Smoking' from the Hermès Maxi Twilly knotting leaflet

Wrap your Maxi Twilly around your waist and tie the ends together in a double knot. You can also secure the ends with a Grande scarf ring in the basic slide, which takes up less fabric (it leaves the ends longer, or gives an extra few inches around the waist)

LOOK #9 -  A similar look to #7 can also be achieved with a shawl ring, or a Classique scarf ring in the Grande size

Variation #1: 'Looped basic slide' with a Grande Classique scarf ring

Fold your Twilly in half, slide a Grande scarf ring into the center, and place around your neck

Secure the ends in the basic slide

As above, you can decide how close or far from the neck you want to wear the scarf

Variation #2 - 'Looped criss-cross knot' with a with a shawl ring

Proceed as in the previous example, and secure the ends in a basic slide, or as below in a criss-cross knot
