On Fashionable Silk Scarves for Cool Autumn Weddings
Pashmina shawls are rather handy for many types of situations as they’re easy to put in your shoulderbag if you get too hot. The wool of the pashmina acts as a wonderful insulator, so instead of wearing a heavy coat on a breezy summer or spring evening, a pashmina shawl will serve as a handy outer garment.
Pashminas are now really trendy as a fashion accessory for bridesmaids. The last couple of summertimes in England have been pretty cold, so perhaps this has boosted this new fashion. White pashminas, as well as cream and gold are fashionable selections for wedding parties, and look amazing if all the maids of honor have a matching colour pashmina. Even fine, silk scarves have been spotted at wedding ceremonies this year.
If you order a larger size shawl, it can also become a handy blanket for long journeys. And of course, a pashmina shawl can become a scarf for wintertime too.
There tends to be two main varieties of shawl – the the 70% pashmina / 30% silk pashmina, and the 100% pure pashmina variety. The non-pure shawl you can purchase at lower cost than the 100% counterpart, but it will be less soft. It’s really down to you as to what you want to use your shawl for. Is it purely for fashion purposes, or ALSO a garment to keep out the chilly weather too? I strongly recommend 100% pashmina shawls to keep you warm.
