I ordered the royal blue color because it looked vibrant online. I was kind of disappointed when I received the scarf because the color was a bit more muted than what I thought it would be but you always risk that when purchasing online. It is made out of very plain material, it has no sheen or shine to it. It is a nice weight to wear as a true scarf around your neck but I think it would be a bit too thin as a wrap or shawl to keep you warm. But for the price you can't expect too much from it. If you just like to wear plain scarves and want to be able to buy several different colors to mix and match with outfits without breaking the bank these are appropriate. If you want something a little fancier with some sheen and shine and more weight to it, look elsewhere.
