Pashminas are very handy for many kinds of situations since they are easy to put in your shoulderbag if you get too hot. The pashmina wool acts as a great insulator, so instead of dragging around a large coat on a breezy summer or spring evening, a shawl will serve as a handy overgarment.
Pashminas have now become really fashionable as a wedding accessory/apparel at wedding parties. The last couple of summertimes in Britain have been pretty awful, so possibly this has encouraged this new trend. Cream-coloured pashminas, as well as white and gold are fashionable colours for marriage ceremonies, and look wonderful if all the maids of honor have a matching colour. As a matter of fact, even a sheer, silk scarf makes a fantastic fashion accessory for the wedding party.
If you order a larger size pashmina, it can also act as a handy blanket for arduous trips. And of course, a shawl can turn into a warm scarf for wintertime.
There tends to be two choices of pashmina - the the 70% pashmina / 30% silk pashmina, and the 100% pashmina variety. The mixed shawl you can purchase at lower cost than the pure wool counterpart, but it will be less warm. It’s up to you as to what you want to use your shawl for. Is it only a fashion item, or ALSO a garment to keep out the cold too? I strongly recommend pure pashmina shawls to keep you warm.
