Pashmina is a wool type material used to make a multifunctional accessory commonly referred to as a stole. Pure pashmina is made from the fur of a goat and manufactured into a softer material known as cashmere. These stoles became popular in the mid 1990's because of this soft, warm fabric. This cashmere scarf is most appropriately worn in the spring and fall when the temperature tends to be a bit cooler. There are several different ways of wearing your stole.
I was a teenager when these cashmere stoles first became popular. I would see adults wearing them and would laugh because back then they looked like something you would wear to a stuffy diner. It didn't look like something I would ever see at school. I was from a rural area, so seeing fancy looking clothing was like speaking a foreign language to me. Some friends and I were at the local hang out one Saturday when one of my friends mom came in wearing one of those stoles. Looking back now I think I was just uncomfortable because I had no clue how to wear it, what to wear it with, or when it was appropriate to wear it.
Different ways of wearing a stole include what I call a reverse scarf, a sash, a headband, a stole or as a belt.
The reverse scarf is just like wearing a winter scarf but instead of putting the center of the pashmina in the back of the neck and allowing the ends to fall in front, you place the center in the front of your neck and let the ends fall on your back.
The sash is just like you see for the woman in the Miss. America pageants. The center of the scarf lays on one shoulder then you drape it across your body to the opposite hip and secure it there. You may secure it there by either putting it in a knot or using a pin.
If it is a windy day you can fold the pashmina in half lengthwise to a width that you are comfortable. Place the center on top of your head, and wrap around to the bottom of your head and tie. It would look like a headband but very original and stylish. This will hold your hair down and keep it looking nice without having to do much to style it.
On chilly days when you have short sleeves on and need to cover your shoulders you can wear it like a stole. You drape the pashmina over your shoulders. Tie in the front. If you don't like the tied look you can always secure it with a pin. If you should get to warm while this is on you can take it off and tie it around your hips.
One thing that must be remembered when wearing it on your hips is that it is not meant to hide your hips. If you are trying to hide your hips this is not the way.
