These types of shawls are known as "pashmina" in Spanish.


Explanation:
They are made of a certain type of wool and men are beginning to use them over their shoulder... very fancy.

You can leave the term as is since it is known throughout the fashion industry (in Mexico, at least) as pashmina.

Good luck!
