ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shawl

Okay kiddo, imagine a piece of fabric that can keep you warm and snuggly when it's cold outside. That's what a shawl is!

When it's chilly outside, people wear shawls to cover their shoulders and arms. They can be made from all kinds of materials like wool, silk, or even fleece. Some are really soft and fluffy, while others are lightweight and breezy.

Shawls can be worn in many different ways, depending on how you like it. You can wrap it around your shoulders like a big cozy hug, or drape it over your arms like a cape. Some people even twist and knot it to create different shapes and styles.

So, when you see someone wearing a shawl, just remember that they're simply bundled up in a warm and comfy piece of fabric. Stay warm out there, little one!
