What are long Cashmere scarves?

While some believe that a long Cashmere scarf is actually a shawl, we refuse the same. A long Cashmere scarf is one that is 200 cm long, while the shorter version is about 140 cm. Long Cashmere scarves have more versatile options for being worn in stylish ways, as the shorter scarves might fall short of being worn in some styles. Longer Cashmere scarves are also more protective as these offer some extra inches of the super comfy warmth that Cashmere is famous for all over the world. 

Let us explore some in-vogue and traditional styles around which Cashmere scarves can be wrapped around.

The classic French Knot
