What’s a gal to do about the chilly weather?
Three shawls, in particular, may fit your bill:
• Demobaza’s Wrap Cable Wool Knit Shawl;
• Missoni’s Wool Cashmere Knit Cape Shawl;
• Roberto Cavalli Silver Fox Fur on Wool Jacquard Shawl.
Before we get into specs, let’s take a detour into theory. Why shawls?
• First of all, shawls can change an outfit – transform the drab or plain into something spectacular… or at least beyond the humdrum. They can make a basic outfit pop.
• Shawls also offer fashion fluidity that can’t be matched by coats, sweaters, and other warm weather clothes.
• Shawls target areas where the body leaches heat the most – the head and the neck.
• A big ski hat and parka can keep you warm, no doubt. But they also effectively smush your femininity. Shawls, on other hand, can potentially enhance it.
With that preamble, let’s check out the specs.
The Demobaza Wool Knit Shawl features a non-detachable hood and asymmetric cut. From a distance, the wearer looks as if she’s just successfully slain a large, very comfortable grey snake and she’s wearing her trophy around her neck like an Amazonian. This “chic-tattered” look is not for everybody, but women who can pull this look off do so with devastating effect.
The Missoni Wool Cashmere is a different beast, entirely. This Italian made, one size fits all cashmere shawl features an exotic brass/silver pattern. The texture almost shimmers, even when standing still. This is a taut, Italian-made wool cashmere concoction, so you can bet it’ll keep you cozy, even in the face of howling winds.
Last but not least, we have the Roberto Cavalli Silver fur fox shawl. Also Italian made, it’s full of piping hot color and competing design elements. The patterning looks almost encoded in a secret language of symbols, but the most stunning element has to be the non-detachable fox fur and silver fox fur collar. Blushed with blood reds, forest browns, and tender whites, this exquisitely soft creation will keep you cozy and then some. This shawl itself isn’t exactly “flimsy”… but it’s not exactly designed for Antarctic conditions, either. It’s a shawl paired down to its essence.
Before the first bristles of autumn start you shivering, invest in fine shawls to gear up and stay comfy and cozy!
