I’ve tried reverse lookup and it just keeps sending me to Pinterest, so pardon the post.

Does anyone know what this is called and/or the shape? Like, is this one long rectangle, a ruana, etc.? I really like it but can’t seem to find one that’s this big. I either want to buy it or possibly make it, but I can’t figure out what the shape is.

    Could I wear this around? Would people find it strange if I had a large velvet shawl? It looks like great fantasy traveler clothing.

      I’m about to find out how strange it is, because I love it 👀

      I don’t mind being the city’s vagabond.

      I would find it very normal on an older lady who also was wearing very unique glasses!

      As in, I’ve seen that lady wear this

          My partner almost always has a shawl tied around his waist, like a sash or belt. For him it’s a comfort object that can convert to shield him from the sun or cold. For me it’s a warm thing I can borrow that smells like him.

          Anyways, he’s genderqueer sometimes, if that helps. And no one’s ever given him guff about his shawls that I know of. (Edit: I guess he might be called genderfluid, but he’s not very into labels, but wouldn’t mind me labeling him to strangers he’ll never meet)

      You can wear anything you want. If people find it strange, that’s on them. I do think it wouldn’t be a common garment but it looks amazing and cozy and practical. I want one really bad, to be honest. I’ve also found that people typically don’t care about anyone else besides themselves which is a little sad but kind of comforting in terms of wearing sick high fantasy cloaks to the local wendy’s.

        Every time I get a haircut they’re like so what would you like. I always say, I’m not the one who has to see it so just make it reasonable for others I guess. I’m the same with clothes, who cares what anyone wears?? If people don’t like it like you said, that’s on them.

          Totally! If I see someone confidently wearing something different from usual, I honestly get inspiration from them. It’s admirable to be comfortable enough with who you are that when you find something you feel great in, you just wear it regardless of how common it is.
