The Ultimate Fashion Accessory for Bridesmaids
Shawls are rather convenient for all types of occasions since they are painless to fold up and put away in your shoulderbag if you get too hot. The pashmina wool acts as a wonderful insulator, so rather than dragging around a heavy coat on a chilly summer or spring evening, a shawl will serve as a convenient overgarment.
Pashmina shawls are now rather stylish as a fashion accessory/apparel for bridesmaids. The last couple of summers in England have been rather cold, so perhaps this has encouraged this new movement. Gold pashminas as well as cream an white are fashionable colours for marriage ceremonies, and look wonderful if all the bridesmaids have a matching colour pashmina shawl.
If you order a larger size shawl, it can also act as a convenient blanket for those arduous trips. And it goes without saying, a pashmina can transform into a scarf for the winter.
There are two varieties of pashmina shawl - the 100% pashmina shawl, and the 70% pashmina / 30% silk variety. The non-pure shawl you can purchase at lower cost than the 100% counterpart, but it’s less cozy. It’s really down to you as to how you want to wear your pashmina. Is it strictly for fashion purposes, and/or also a garment to keep out the cold too? I advocate pure pashminas to keep you warm.
