Let's talk dirty hair day, the rush-to-make-the-train day, the I-need-to-sleep-15-more-mins day, the 8am meeting in NYC day, the kids living their “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day….”
Enter: The elevated hair hack.
The Hermès Twilly.
Another Hearst elevator selfie featuring my Hermès Twilly.
At first glance, it’s just a slim strip of silk. But that’s underselling it.
What makes it magic is its intentional design: a narrow, elongated scarf (roughly 2 inches wide and around 32 inches long) crafted in silk twill, which gives it structure without stiffness.
That shape is the whole point.
Unlike a traditional scarf (too bulky) or a hair elastic (too basic), the Twilly sits right in the middle—lightweight, polished, but endlessly flexible. It’s not trying to be one thing. It’s designed to be everything.
The genius of the Twilly isn’t just that it’s pretty—it’s that it’s multi-contextual. The Twilly can actually be that 1 item styled 5+ ways: hair, belt, collar, bracelet, bag. For me the real life savor has been the pulled back pony on days where I just can’t do it. You all know that chaos we live before we even get to our seats, meetings, and clients.
Styled for the low pony - a hot and busy day in the City!
