What's a good colorway for a cashmere scarf for summer?

[addiCCted]

I tend to get cold easily so I want to get a summer shawl. Any recommendation on size and colorway? I have many 140 CS. To be honest, they just feel like too much fabric. How do you guys like the giant triangle or the cashmere 90s?

I didn’t like my 140 silk or cs for the same reason you mentioned but love my triangles (half 140s). It may be one of the best things my sa suggested to me.

I recently bought a 90 cashmere light - Index Palmarum in Gris Chiné/Fuchsia/Orange CW. It’s superbly light. Whether a 90 would suit probably depends on how much coverage you want in summer.

I use the Pareo as a shawl / kimono. This one was from 2 years ago, however, I do see some interesting patterns this season

I think I will give that format a try.
Thank you.

It will probably work. I’m trying my 90 silk and it’s almost perfect as a shawl. Maybe slightly short. I just find the silks too cold. Maybe the giant triangle will be the perfect size.

Thank you

Lovely! I find the Pareo a little too much for my frame for casual wear. But perfect pool/beach cover up

Thank you

The positive about the pareo is you can wash it normally but agree it is quite large.

I love the cashmere triangles!

The men's 100s, IMO, are the perfect size, although the colors will usually be more muted. The triangles are also great. You could also do what I did which is beg my SA to show me new ways to tie the 140. It was really helpful!
For colors, depends what you wear in summer!

go for a rectangle - width, without the bulk
