There are many ways you can put your favorite cashmere stoles on. Remember that stole is different from a shawl. It is generally a little smaller and narrower accessory that you put on your shoulders, not around your neck. People use scarves and shawls mainly to keep their heads and necks warm in cold winter or autumn weather, but stoles are more of a fashion piece. Usually they are made from more delicate fabric and are worn for years, so this investment is worth the price.

Cashmere Stole

Stoles can be hand made from alpaca or cashmere, as well as from other materials, such as fur, silk, organza or satin. Alpaca and cashmere stoles are especially elegant and soft to the skin, they are available in hundreds of colors and patterns. Women usually wear them around bare shoulders with an evening dress or a gown. It is an element signifying one’s position in a society and respect to the meeting, so stoles are often proprietary in churches and religious gatherings as well as in mundane occasions.

You can search online for images looking for ideas of wearing stoles as there are tens of styles, with knots and ties. They have their own manners and rules thus differentiating them from shawls, these cannot be used interchangeably.

Stoles are also used in some Christian denominations as a lithurgical vestment. It is usually a band of silk or other colored cloth, quite long and narrow, with straight or broadened ends and some decorations like a cross or a contrasting galloon and a fringe. Sometimes a linen or lace is stitched at the rear part of it near the neck to prevent it from being contaminated by sweat, thus you can easily change this linen instead of changing or dry-cleaning the expensive stole itself.

Stole can also mean fur or a set of different furs, usually of a fox, or even a skin or pelage of some animal, and the phrases of fur stole or mink stole are used for a formal wear, with  more than one animal utilized in the production of this kind of stole.

Stoles are usually made from nice intricate materials such as chiffon or silk that were properly processed or finished (cropped, hemmed and then bound) or of heavier materials such as fur and brocade.

Alpaca fabric has become very popular lately as a luxury textile due to its softness and warmth. And indeed, to be three to five times as warm as ordinary sheep’s wool.

You can also braid more than two scarves. To keep your composition as it was planned to be, tie or clip the ends of alpaca scarves.
