Does your average French person leave the house without wearing a scarf?
I doubt it.
How-to-tie your scarf is demonstrated everywhere you look.
Scarves are non-gender, non-seasonal accessories.
Do French infants wear a scarf in their cribs? I have to do further research...
The stripe scarf is a French classic. You can not go wrong wearing a stripe scarf.
Four variations on tieing your scarf.
Here's a scarf that grew into a coat...
Your classic cardigan can double as a scarf in France. Pas de problem.
Tintin gets away with it...
Even some French parfums don a scarf...
The classic Saint Honore wears a kind of chantilly scarf non?
A traditional Fr couple - La femme is scarved. Monsieur appears to be scarf-free.
Bear does NOT wear a scarf. Does this make him less French? Should he get one ASAP? What do you think?

Bonjour Carol. I had never thought about the St Honore wearing a scarf. Clever! ;-)
Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Wonderfully witty! :-)
I think Bear should get a scarf.
A red one.
Or a red beret.
Fortunately Bear has impeccable French lineage and can risk showing his independence by traveling bare-necked.
Have your seen this book? Paris vs NY

Someone has a lot of nerve taking this on instead of you! You must give it a thorough review!
That's because yr French Veronique.
You need extra-terrestial eyes.
Jeanette, that book is by my bed waiting...maybe manana
We spent 10 days in Paris in a little apartment last May and loved it.
Thanks for your lovely, witty insights into a city we love.
Best Regards,
Sally
I wear a scarf any time I leave the house. It just completes my outfit whatever I am wearing!

Oui, as a peinture Sur soie ,especially foulards, I highly encourage all to protect your throats & necks with scarves!!!
They are my pain et ...
Bear needs a very special scarf & a beret too.
Pain et beurre.... iPad smarty pants tried to second guess me again!
Bear is so handsome!
Good point! ;-)
Oh, and Monsieur does not need a scarf. He probably thinks that his bright red hat makes enough of a statement! ;-)

Oh yes.. Bear for sure needs a scarf.. Red goes so well with black and white. :) I cant live without a scarf in winter here and I love them for accents in summer. I really need a book on how to tie them different ways for a variety.
Fun post as usual.
If a baguette can wear a scarf then a bear can certainly wear one. So cute!
I remember a charming scene in Le Divorce where Kate Hudson's character talks about how many ways the French have to wear scaves. I LOVE scarves. So timeless and classy! Yes, perhaps a little scarf for Bear! :-)
There you go again with your unique point of view...scarves on pastry! Bear definitely needs a scarf (even if only in a watercolor). He would probably even appreciate having something he could call his own.
While Bear would look very attractive in a red scarf...I think he would mull the question; To wear? Or not to wear? quite carefully ;)
Bear does not need a scarf as he is already striped perfectly?
Love the scarf post today...it reminds me of the website where I found some scarf tying tips
Surely one of your many fans out there might consider making a scarf for Bear? Unfortunately, I would not be that fan.
Bien sur Mme. Gillott,
Bear must wear a scarf in zees
temperatures. C'est hiver, non?
Salut,
Justine
Ahh..but M has the classic beret!
I love older couples on streets..anywhere..when they are so together..there is so much history! I know there is a different beauty in youth..But I so love this type of photo
My grandsons wear Cache-cou..
I think many parents worry about loose long ends on scarves and younger people..
I..love my scarves..pashminas.. all of it..They seem to keep my whole body warm..:) And do wonders for necks that are almost 60:)
Almost 60.
:)
I wish I knew more than two ways to wear a scarf. Those two tone scarves look like a feat of engineering! I don't think I'd ever be able to replicate that.
I love the watercolor, very cute!
Your people shots are always the best; I love the candids in this post.
I think Bear looks fine au natural :)
Clever, funny post! Elderly monsieur may be scarfless but so dapper and chic in the bright red beret ...
Bear has informed me, in no uncertain terms, that he would enjoy a scarf. A red one. :)
I LOVE visiting your blog! amazing:)
oui ... a scarf for teddy ... how dashing :-)
Carol,
I always wear a scarf in Paris and New York. Aside from the stylistic aspects, it keeps my neck warm.
I berated my husband for buying a scarf which I thought looked grandmotherly only to find in Paris that type of scarf was featured in all the men's shops. Vive le Metrosexual.
A striped scarf for bear would be perfect! Wool of course for winter, and maybe linen for spring.
