Beautiful ways to ward off evening chills
by Amanda Lacey
You’ve secured the ideal alfresco moment—the wine is flowing, and conversation can’t possibly stop—but the brisk temperature is about to conclude the evening. The answer? Grab a wrap to drape over your shoulders to keep the good times rolling.
A “wrap” is a modern term that fits scarves, shawls, and stoles under one umbrella. This fashion accessory can be donned as a decorative element to finish off an outfit or as a technical wardrobe essential to keep you warm.
Often made from natural fibers such as silk, cashmere, wool, cotton or linen, there are plenty of options to satisfy your needs. Rectangular, triangle or oblong shapes are most common, but keep an eye out for one with shearling or fur trim to add some extra pizzazz because who doesn’t love a luxurious and versatile option?
Ultrasoft and stylish cuts are sure to lend a hand while traveling, not to mention double as a plush blanket for an in-flight nap. And when you need a light layer, opt for drapey silk with an asymmetric silhouette to polish off any look.
Whether wrapping over a dress or a tank and jeans combo, there’s no denying you’re sure to stay cozy while looking effortlessly chic. It’s a truly timeless piece that you can—and will—reach for time and again.
