Pashmina scarves and shawls are very popular, but often someone will see a woman wearing one and think, “that looks great, but I wouldn’t know how to wear one!” There are lots of ways to wear a Pashmina shawl, and lots of reasons to wear one, or give one to someone as a gift. Here are just some of the many uses for Pashmina shawls:
Travel
Because they are so light and yet warm and cozy Pashmina shawls and scarves are a must have travel accessory. They can be wadded into a purse or pocket, or put into a carry on bag, and used as a blanket or soft pillow on the plane. Traveling from one climate to another? A light but warm Pashmina layered over a tee shirt or light sweater can be a fashionable way to move from climate to climate comfortably. If you travel often you can’t afford not to carry a pretty Pashmina shawl with you all the time. Pashminas also are the perfect unique gift for someone who travels a lot.
For the Beach
Live near the water? Planning a vacation to the beach? Light, warm Pashmina shawls make great sarongs and beach cover ups. Unlike cotton sarongs or cover ups, Pashminas are light and airy but can also add a layer of warmth after coming out of the chilly water. Pashminas are also great layering pieces to keep off the chill of the water in the evening.
For the Office
Do you work in an office where the air conditioner is always on way too high? Keep a couple soft, warm, stylish Pashminas in your desk drawer to keep you warm at work. Buy a few neutral colored Pashminas that go with everything and stash them at work so you can layer them over your Spring and Summer clothes to keep you warm when the air conditioner is on way too high.
For Everyday
If you’re like most women, you have a million little errands to run everyday. You want to look stylish and express some personality but don’t have hours to get dressed or shop. Throwing a unique patterned Pashmina or bright colored Pashmina on over a tee or sweater and jeans can keep you warm even on chilly days and keep you looking stylish and elegant. If it gets warm, tie the Pashmina around your waist to make a chic belt or throw it in your handbag.
Restaurants/Movie Theaters/Evenings Out
In the summer it’s often the case that businesses, especially movie theaters and restaurants, keep the air conditioning on high, far too high for some people! Pashmina shawls are the perfect accessory to keep you warm when the air conditioner is on too high. Throw a soft, pretty Pashmina over a pretty summer sundress, or over a tee shirt and a jeans, to look great and stay warm. Because they are so thin and light, Pashminas can easily be stuffed into a handbag, or even into a jeans pocket. Tie one around your waist as a belt or wear it as a scarf.
For a Special Event
Nothing sets off that perfect little black dress like a brightly colored or patterned Pashmina shawl. Hollywood celebrities have been wearing Pashminas to the Oscars and other award shows for years.
As a Unique Baby Shower Gift
Don’t want to get the new mother the same old baby shower gift? Pashmina shawls make treasured baby shower gifts because they can be used as luxurious receiving blankets or crib blankets. Since they are so light and soft, babies love them. Since they are so warm and made from all natural fibers, moms love them. Treat the new mom and baby to a gift of luxury.
