I wore one in a beautiful deep teal with a plum chiffon dress and aqua clutch last month to an evening event. It was anchored over one shoulder, draped diagonally across my back and wrapped around my forearms. It was stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740593 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:50:36 +0000 missvee 740593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I'm feeling quite optimistic about the options you've suggested! The dress is an old favourite that I'm trying to update a bit - thanks for all your help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740515 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:52:38 +0000 Angie 740515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Printed pashminas are better. Summer versions with texture like Sylvie is describing are better too. </p> <p>I have a thick, quilted black and silver brocade shawl that I use instead of a pashmina. It's a lot more rigid and geometric and does not drape. I prefer that look to a flowing scarf that acts like a shawl. I also have a retro shawl with sequins. It's like netting. It does not keep you warm, but it adds a dramatic period element to a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740499 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:44:39 +0000 Diana 740499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a printed pashmina? I have a b/w patterned one that is fun to add some personality to all-black outfits, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740484 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:37:00 +0000 Sylvie 740484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay for gauzy pashminas during summer. I wore a bright open weave scarf wrapped around my shoulders during a summer wedding last year and I felt "cool". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740464 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:26:48 +0000 missvee 740464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies for your wise words. I would be too hot wearing a jacket over the dress but maybe I can come up with something more interesting than a droopy scarf. I hate investing in evening wear as I use it so seldom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740448 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 21:15:50 +0000 April 740448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tricky not to have a pashmina look like a blanket clutched about the shoulders. When I had one, I only wore it when I was freezing on an air-conditioned train. It functioned exactly as a blanket clutched around me for warmth -- and looked that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740422 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 20:54:19 +0000 Angie 740422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachylou said. Very eloquently! </p> <p>A wrap with substance, like a brocade, or faux fur has more personality than a pashmina. I'd opt for a tuxedo jacket. Pashiminas are scarves, at the end of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740381 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 20:20:28 +0000 rachylou 740381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, pashminas - I wouldn't say they're stylish for evening formals. But they are expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740363 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:59:30 +0000 Diana 740363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They will always be a yay for me. It's an effortless chic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740360 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:57:36 +0000 Anonymous 740360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pull it off, but the women I see that wear them look amazing. I believe it you wear it with confidence, you will be a show stopper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740264 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:02:28 +0000 Traci 740264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A pashmina is on my wish list, but for the job you're describing I prefer a jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740172 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:07:45 +0000 K. Period. 740172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be interested to see what everyone says! I think of them as a timeless, functional classic anymore. They aren't fashion forward by any means, but they do a great job of keeping you warm and hanging out in the background while letting your outfit shine. If they are voted off the island, I'm gonna be really sad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others---pashminas---yesno#post-740127 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:19:02 +0000 missvee 740127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello All, I'm just wondering if Pashminas are still stylish? I have a sleeveless black dress that needs a bit of coverage for an upcoming evening event. All advice gratefully received! </p>
