Soft, luxurious, sensuous, warm and elegantly stylish pashmina scarves and shawls have become virtually indispensable for almost every woman. The variety of shades, styles and patterns are capable of catering to the taste of every female from traditional to modern. They are suitable to every event and wearable no matter what the time of day, always adding a breath of fashion, classiness, color and attention to any garment.
If you plan on wearing something in a wild or tame pattern, select one of the beautiful solid plain colors. If you prefer it, there are those consisting of one solid design. If you want, you can also choose from a group of particularly attractive striped patterns. Striped pashminas come in different arrangements and hues. Coordinated colors run the length. Some patterned or plain stripes slice straight down the middle while others stick to the edges.
While many prefer the classic lines of a plain pashmina scarf or shawl, the striped ones do offer some advantages. The presence of a stripe creates a new look each time you put it on. How you look, depends upon how you wrap or drape the fabric. Try tossing it over your shoulders or throwing it around your neck and/or arms. The fabric falls in a different way exposing diverse segments of colors, shapes or patterns creating a new style. No matter how often you wear it, your friends will think it is not the same accessory.
Another advantage of a striped pashmina is the slimming effect it will have on your body. When a stripe runs vertically down your body it creates the illusion of decreased mass and increased height. You look slimmer and feel taller. Simply wrap the scarf around your neck and allow it to hang forwards in a vertical line down the front and back of your body. The stripe draws the eye and leads it in a top to bottom motion. In doing so, the eye acknowledges length not width.
To increase the stunning effect of a striped pattern, many pashminas place a strongly hued dark stripe of color in the midst of 2 paler or plain colors. Yet, these marvelous accessories also are available in more muted colors. Not all striped pashminas consist of bold slashes in the midst of plain ones. Some coloring schemes progress across the color spectrum, their stripes moving from the palest pink to a central stripe of a somewhat darker shade to an edge stripe of a grayer adaptation of pink.
It is easy to see why these accessories are popular. There is truly a striped pashmina design suitable for and attractive to even women with the most discerning tastes in class and style.
