The Essential Accessories, Shawls and Scarves for the gloomy evenings

The adoption of scarves and shawls is prevalent across several communities and it is not restricted to harsh weather or sweltering summertime. They have quite an ancient legacy that extends far beyond their role as a luxury item, having been in existence for eons! It's quite interesting to read about the significance of scarves and shawls in both history and culture. A thick crocheted scarf, typically made out of wool, is draped all around the neck in freezing areas to prevent heat loss. These are commonly worn with a heavy coat and warm headgear. This technique seems to have become customary over time in numerous communities, especially among women. The Romans titled it "sudarium," meaning "sweat fabric", and the custom of putting on a scarf or shawl has mostly been attributed to sweating in olden days. Traditionally donned by men, these fabric items were utilized to wash away perspiration from the neck and forehead. Scarves made of fabric were worn to differentiate the commanders and positions of the Chinese troops during the dynasty of emperor Cheng. But as time passed by, women started to wear them as well, and currently they have quite a wholly new style. Currently, the best fabrics are utilized to make scarves and shawls, which have been widely desired by both men and women all across the world. After Napoleon's surrender, Asian shawls emerged for the first time in Europe. The cashmere shawl manufactured in the Kashmir region of India from the exquisite Tibetan goat's wool was the most sought-after import.


Stoles are a timeless piece for the wintertime ensemble. They introduce a sophisticated look to each and every attire as they can be styled in a variety of ways and are available in a diverse range of colors and designs. Even the most conservative attire can be enlivened with a striking stole.


The Kashmir shawl is distinguished by its distinctive Kashmiri design as well as being created from exquisite pashmina wool. It is the predecessor of the contemporary cashmere shawl.   It was originally developed in India as a protective coating for men, but since then it has transformed in popular cultures in India, Europe, and the United States to symbolize aristocracy and prestige, to be awarded as keepsakes on a girl's wedding, and inevitably to end up serving as décor in interior decoration.


A lengthy scarf-like fabric termed as a dupatta is commonly donned by women in Southern Asia. The dupatta, often alluded to as the chunnari, odhni, finishes the visual appeal of a traditional wear like a lehenga choli, salwar kameez, churidaar etc. and is regarded as a mark of decency.


Jamawar silk was used to make some of these shawls, stoles and dupatta. Kashmir creates a distinct style of shawl termed as jamawar. "War/var" alludes to the bosom and body metaphorically, while "jama" implies garment. Pashmina is utilized to create Jamawar, which is of the greatest quality. Identical silk or polyester threads are employed during the stitching of the brightly patterned elements. The kairy is among the most recurring motifs in today's floral prints. Traditionally, some shawls took numerous years to create as they were handcrafted; consequently, genuine Jamawar shawls are very costly. While handcrafted Jamawar prints are still quite costly, contemporary, machine-made Jamawar prints are much less costly and are manufactured in areas like Kashmir and other parts of Himachal Pradesh.

Depending on the context, the shawl can stand for a mother figure, Magda, the imagination, or the inability to speak up for oneself.


Q9. Why are shawls so popular?


The great quality of the wool used in the shawls, together with the skillful weaving and embroidery that went into their production, contribute to the shawls' high demand in the market. Shawls from an earlier age were regarded as things of luxury; they were regularly worn by royalty or aristocracy and were commonly passed down from one generation to the next.


Q10. How does a scarf keep you warm?

 

It's only reasonable to question if you'll need to find a new home for your scarves until next spring now that winter has arrived. The small bristles on the inside of the scarf that tickle your skin while you wear it around your neck in the cold are what truly warm your throat and keep your neck warm, not the wool or any of the other materials often used in comfortable scarves.

In addition, when they are being woven, they can have a solid colors weaved into them or have the yarn itself be dyed, and they can be embellished with embroidery or beads either by hand or by machine. Having a beautiful edge in the shape of tassels or pom poms may turn a scarf of this sort into a true fashion item. This is one way that a scarf can be made into a fashion item.


Q13. How do you wear a stole?

 

One of the numerous ways that you may wear the stole is to wrap it around your neck in such a manner that the edges hang in front of you. This is just one of the many options available. Other approaches consist of the following: After that, the next step is to wrap a stole around the body in such a way that it covers the other shoulder but makes sure to leave one end dangling over the shoulder that is uncovered.

Q14. Do you wear cords under the stole?

 

If you prefer to use a cord instead of a stole or sash, you don't have to choose between the two. In contrast, a chord can be worn in addition to a stole or sash, and multiple chords can be worn simultaneously. This eliminates the necessity of choosing between the two options previously available.
