RUANA AND PASHMINA

April 23rd, 2010
Ruana is a poncholike garment, open in front, often worn as a wrap. It looks like pashmina, but pashmina refers to a type of fine cashmere wool and the textiles made from it, wool. The wool comes from changthangi or pashmina goat, which is a special breed of goat indigenous to high altitudes of the Himalayas. Pashmina shawls are hand spun, woven and embroidered in Kashmir, and made from fine cashmere fiber. A pashmina shawl can range in cost from as little as about $35 US for a pure pashmina scarf, or up to thousands of $US for a super high-quality pure embroidered pashmina shawl. They are known for their softness and warmth.Nowadays, Ruana comes out as an option instead of pashmina. It also looks good for a fashion item and generate your new look. And now the question is: how to wear a ruana?

Well I have some ideas on wearing ruana to make you look good. The traditional Irish way to wear a ruana is throwing both ends over your shoulders to formĀ a double cowl neck. The shoulder can easily be secured with a brooch. Another elegant ruana-look is formed by throwing one end over a shoulder and letting the other end hang loose. This one is simpler. Turn the ruana, so that the tag is centered over one shoulder. The long end is then wrapped over the opposite arm. A brooch easily secures the long end. You can wrap the ruana around your waist and wear it as a skirt. For this look, you really need a brooch or something to lock the ends. Ruanas can be worn as a belted wrap. All you have to is just simply place the belt around your waist and fasten the front. If you have a plan for a dinner in a cold evening, you can use the tricks. Now go get your ruana on sale and have a nice dinner!
