The Truth Bar

Pashmina shawls are very convenient for all types of occasions since they are easy to put in your handbag if you get too warm. The wool of the pashmina acts as a very effective insulator, so rather than dragging around a big coat on a chilly summer or spring evening, a shawl will suffice as a handy outer garment.

Pashmina shawls have recently become really fashionable as a wedding accessory/apparel for bridesmaids. Recent summertimes in the United Kingdom have been quite miserable, so possibly this has encouraged this new trend. White pashminas, as well as cream and gold are fashionable choices for wedding ceremonies, and look great if all the bridesmaids have a matching colour pashmina shawl.

With a larger pashmina shawl, it can also act as a handy blanket for those arduous trips. And it goes without saying, a pashmina shawl can become a scarf for winter days.

There tends to be two main varieties of pashmina shawl - the the 70% pashmina / 30% silk pashmina, and the 100% pure pashmina shawl variety. The non-pure shawl you can purchase at cheaper prices than the 100% opposite number, but it will be less soft. It’s up to you as to how you want to wear your pashmina shawl. Is it merely for fashion purposes, and/or also a garment keep you warm too? I strongly recommend 100% pashmina shawls to keep you warm.
