Shawls are rather handy for all types of occasions since they’re easy to place in your handbag if you get too warm. The wool of the pashmina is a great insulator, so rather than wearing a heavy coat on a breezy spring or summer evening, a shawl will suffice as a useful outer garment.
Pashmina shawls have recently become really stylish as a fashion accessory at marriage ceremonies. The last couple of summertimes in England have been pretty miserable, so maybe this has advanced this new style. Cream-coloured pashminas, as well as white and gold are trendy colours for marriage ceremonies, and look fantastic if all the maids of honor have matching colour pashmina shawls.
If you order a larger size pashmina shawl, it can also become a convenient little blanket for those long journeys. And of course, a pashmina can become a warm scarf for wintertime too.
There tends to be two types of shawl - the 100% pure pashmina shawl, and the 70% pashmina / 30% silk variety. The non-pure pashmina shawl you can purchase at lower prices than the pure counterpart, but it’s less soft. It’s really down to you as to what you want to use your pashmina shawl for. Is it purely for fashion purposes, or also a garment keep you warm too? I strongly recommend 100% pashminas to keep you warm.
