PashminaPashminaThe epic grandeur and mystical beauty of the

Himalayas are at the core of the pashmina.

Pashmina shawls became an enormous hit stateside in the late 1990s, and they have earned their place as a fashion �xture due to the fact that there are dozens of ways to wear this versatile accessory. Style mavens enjoy a range of other pashmina products, including pashmina scarves or even pashmina hijabs.

Sourced from the wool of the Changthangi goat, who spends his days clambering in the fresh air and high altitudes of Nepal, Pakistan, and India, pashmina fabric brings together the best of both worlds, delivering a soft, light feel accompanied by some serious warmth.

Find new or used pashminas in a rainbow of colors, pa�erns, and designs on eBay, keeping an eye out for convenient shipping options from eBay’s many reliable sellers.

The resonant elegance of the Himalayas and the luxury of cashmere are within your grasp when you wrap yourself in a pashmina.

How to Wear Your

Pashmina ShawlStart by draping the shawl over your shoulders. Leave the ends loose in front, tie them in front in a relaxed knot like a stole, or drape one end over your shoulder. Secure the end over your shoulder by pinning the layers together with a broach.

For a neat evening look, create a shrug by draping the shawl over your shoulders, bringing the ends together behind you, and securing them with a small rubber band. For a pre�y variation, cover the rubber band with a ribbon like a ponytail.

A scarf is narrower and shorter than a shawl, and you can adapt these styles to shawls. Learning a few simple ways to arrange your pashmina scarf may inspire you to create your own styles.

Whether you choose a lightweight one-ply scarf or a snuggly four-ply style, a pashmina protects your head, ears, and neck without disturbing your hairstyle.

Spread the scarf out and drape it over your head. For a quick head cover, tie the ends in a loose knot under your chin. For a chic variation, tie the ends in a knot behind your head at the nape of your neck, with the loose ends trailing down your back. Add some sparkle with a scarf ring above the knot.

For a cosmopolitan air, wrap one end under your chin and over the opposite shoulder. Add to the look by draping the other end over your other shoulder so both tails �ow down your back. Neaten it up by bringing both ends to the front and tucking them under the wrapped scarf.
