shawls
Drape over shoulders
Shawls are pieces of fabric, typically square or rectangular, worn draped over the shoulders, around the head, or wrapped about the body for warmth or as a fashion accessory.
They range from lightweight silk or lace for decorative purposes to heavy wool or cashmere for cold weather.
Unlike scarves, which are usually long and narrow, shawls are broader and meant to cover more of the upper body.
