A shoulder garment is a type of clothing that covers the shoulders and upper body. The two most common shoulder garments are the stole and the SHAWL. A stole is a long, narrow piece of fabric that is usually worn around the neck or draped over the shoulders. A SHAWL is a large piece of fabric that is typically worn over the shoulders and upper body. Both the stole and the SHAWL can be made from a variety of materials, including wool, silk, and cotton.
