Shawls are rather convenient for many kinds of situations as they’re easy to put in your handbag if you get too hot. The pashmina wool keeps out the cold very well, so instead of wearing a heavy coat on a chilly spring or summer evening, a pashmina will serve as a useful overgarment.

Pashminas are now rather in vogue as a fashion accessory at wedding parties. The last couple of summers in England have been rather cold, so perhaps this has advanced this new fashion. White pashminas, as well as cream and gold are fashionable choices for weddings, and look amazing if all the bridesmaids have a matching colour. As a matter of fact, even a light, silk scarf can make a super fashion accessory for the wedding.

With a larger pashmina, it can also act as a convenient little blanket for lengthy journeys. And of course, a pashmina can become a scarf for the winter too.

There are two types of pashmina - the the 70% pashmina / 30% silk pashmina, and the 100% pure pashmina variety. The non-pure shawl you can purchase at cheaper prices than the 100% pashmina counterpart, but it’s less cozy. It’s your choice as to what you want to use your pashmina for. Is it purely for fashion purposes, or ALSO apparel to keep out the chilly weather too? We recommend pure pashminas to keep you warm.
