Shawls and Evening Wraps
An evening wrap solves the classic problem of a beautiful outfit in a chilly venue. It adds warmth and finish without hiding the dress.
Fabric
Silk and silk blends drape beautifully; pashmina and fine wool are warmer; velvet feels festive for winter events.
Color
Match a color from the outfit, go a shade deeper, or choose a neutral metallic or black for evening.
