Luxurious, elegant, and versatile - pashmina is a fabric that has it all. You may primarily associate the opulent wool with colder seasons, but the lightweight nature of pashmina makes it a wardrobe staple that can be enjoyed all year round. Paired with its timeless sophistication and supreme softness, pashmina is a fabric that deserves to be worn season after season. Below we’ll be sharing exactly when & how you can wear the Himalayan luxury scarf, regardless of the weather outside.
Spring
The season of rebirth and renewal is one of the most beautiful times of the year, but also one of the most unpredictable. Especially if you live in the Northern hemisphere. Mild and warm temperatures are what we wish for when spring comes, but cold spells and rainy days are still to be expected, particularly in the early days of spring.
A pashmina is the perfect solution for the season’s volatile moments. It will help you stay warm without weighing you down; the featherlight texture looks and feels more seasonally appropriate than a scarf made of a bulkier wool. A pashmina’s warming powers will also allow you to start wearing your lighter jackets - such as trench coats or leather styles - while staying cozy and comfortable.
As the weather begins to warm in the later months of spring, you can swap your jacket altogether in favor of a pashmina. It will serve as a lightweight layer that can easily be removed if the day ends up being extra warm.
Summer
Wearing a scarf may seem counterintuitive in the summer, but pashmina is a breathable material that can be worn in even the hottest months. You may not feel the need to wear it during the day when temperatures are at their highest, but a pashmina makes an excellent lightweight layer for the evening. Whether you’re savoring a sunset by the beach or enjoying a dinner in the city, a pashmina will protect you from unexpectedly cool breezes.
Pashminas are available in different weights, so you can opt for a finer scarf in a light or bold color that matches the mood of the year’s hottest season. Smaller styles can also be worn as headscarves to protect your hair from the sun, or neckties that create a charming vintage feel.
Autumn
As the temperatures start to drop, a pashmina will be your favorite companion. Its lightweight warmth and rich texture will be ideal for enhancing your autumn layers during the crisp mornings and evenings. A pashmina can also be styled as a poncho or shawl for a more bohemian feel.
You can begin to wear heavier styles in deeper colors that will keep you warm and comfortable all through autumn and well into the winter. Stick to rich, earthy tones that reflect the vibrant colors that have become synonymous with the season.
Winter
Your pashmina will truly shine in the winter. Incredibly soft and warm, it will keep you cozy no matter how low the temperature falls. We recommend investing in a large design that can be wrapped around the neck multiple times, or draped over your shoulders as a shawl indoors.
Patterned designs will also add interest to your winter outfits, livening up wardrobes that tend to be more dark and muted. Of course, if you prefer a more minimal look, you can stick to neutral colors that will exude timelessness and refinement.
Formal Events
From weddings and showers to exclusive parties and galas, there are few accessories that are better suited to formal events than pashminas. Originally designed for royals, pashmina scarves pair perfectly with occasion wear like suits and evening dresses. They add a regal flair to any look while potentially eliminating the need for a jacket.
If you’re wearing a suit, your pashmina can also be used to create a pop of color or print. Those wearing dresses may prefer to create a more cohesive look by sticking to a monochromatic palette.
Casual Occasions
A pashmina is the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your everyday looks. It will add a polished feel to any outfit, whether you’re using your pashmina to elevate a casual denim and t-shirt look or you want to create a high-low feel with a blazer and sneakers or boots.
Thanks to its featherlight texture and gentle warmth, a pashmina is one of the most versatile accessories you can own. No matter what the season or occasion is, a pashmina is always a fantastic idea
