Tuck a black, white or glittery pashmina into your car to keep it handy for evenings that get a little cooler than you expect. Pashminas take up very little room – you can even tuck it into your glove compartment in a plastic bag – and they go with anything jeans and a tee to a formal gown. Whether you’re on the beach or at an outdoor wedding, you can just give it a shake and slip it over your shoulders to keep off the chill.
Go cosmopolitan. Where your pashmina the way European women do. Fold the scarf in half and drape it around your neck with the fold on one side and the loose ends on the other. Take the two loose ends and pull them through the center of the fold, giving it a tug to snug it around your throat. Let the ends dangle outside your coat, or tuck them in for a polished, elegant look.
Turn a lightweight or lacy pashmina into a classy evening wrap. Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and tie the corners together with a single knot at each end. Open the pashmina out and toss it over your shoulders. Slip your wrists through the openings formed by the knots. Voila! You have an elegant, loose evening jacket that’s perfect over bare shoulders.
Wrap a pashmina around your hips and knot it at the side when you need an emergency cover-up. A pashmina is long enough to double as a sarong if you need to run into a store on your way home from the beach or if, horror of horrors, your jeans decide to do a split on you in the middle of an evening. The artful drape will look deliberate and no one will guess it’s an emergency fashion maneuver.
