Wraps come in many kinds varying from scarves, stoles, shawls, ponchos to sweaters. They all aim at making men and women clothing comfortable and trendy. A combination of various fabrics, textures and patterns make each wrap different from the other. Wool and velvet wraps are in high demand during the winter season. Similarly, knit and fleece sweaters and cardigans aim to blanket against the cold in winters. Stoles, shawls and mittens become the most important accessory of the textile industry. Ponchos with different knitting pattern become a la mode. Velvet, pashmina and other such fabrics are used for formal as well as casual wear.
Although scarves are used all around the year still the ones for summers and lighter weathers are slightly different as their main focus is accessorizing. The fabric used in these is mostly silk, chiffon, cotton, satin, lace and other sheer materials.
Scarves and wraps come in various different sizes and styles. They can either be plain, multicolored or printed. Various dying techniques such as tie and dye, screen printing, hand painting and block printing make each individual piece a masterpiece. Similarly, numerous different ideas on how to wear a scarf add style to your existing dress collection.
The phone bell was ringing as I opened the main door. I hurriedly pushed the door open and ran to get the phone but the last bell ended as I reached the handset. As soon as I started walking away the caller made another ring and since I was within an arms length of the phone I pick it up instantly. On the other side was Rose, and old school friend who had called to invite me to a pool side dinner at her place. Rose and I went to the same high school and now is a well practicing doctor. I accepted the invitation and started thinking of all the other friends who would be there too. My next thought was what to wear as a little rain shower was expected in the afternoon which would make the weather a bit chillier by the evening. I quickly ran to my wardrobe and searched for something suitable for the occasion. As I peeped through my closet my eyes fell upon a black satin dress with a velvet belt. It was a very chic dress but I had worn it so many times that I wanted something different this time. I thought for a while and looking out the window decided to go and buy something new.
Since I was short of time I entered the first shop at the mall and started browsing through the hanging outfits but did not find anything. The sales girl approached and offered to help and I asked her that I needed something for the evening. She pointed towards a mannequin wearing a strapless white dress with a floral pattern silk scarf. The scarf looked so voguish that I decided to look for a scarf to go with my black dress. The sales girl showed me towards a colorful rack full of scarves, wraps and shawls. Keeping the chilly weather I picked a lovely cashmere shawl to wrap around the shoulders and made the payment.
I happily returned home and started getting ready for the evening. My new shawl was going to save me from the coldness and add style to my old dress.
