I worked different shawls for different occasions. For at-home use, I'll use up scrap yarn and make it thick. I used to carry a lighter weight shawl on me so I didn't freeze in the movie theater or church.
I think they are elegant, and I was admiring a shawl worn by a stylish young coworker today, so I certainly don't think wearing them makes anyone seem old. I lack the skill to drape them properly and the grace to wear them without looking ridiculous, so they're not for me, though.
I am short and worry that a shawl would just swallow me up and make me look like a box with fringe.
On the (tall, skinny) models they always look amazing and elegant.
A long time ago, a coworker went to her country and brought me back a shawl. It was so warm and gave me a lot of room to wrap. I have wide shoulders. I lost it during my last move. When I try on shawls from stores, even higher end ones (I'd be willing to invest in a high quality ones) they're always long, but not wide. It looks like a stole on me.
