I suppose we all have different reasons for wearing shrugs,for me they add an extra dimension to any outfit, and honestly I need them to cover up my arm if the dress or top happens to be sleeveless.

Airy is soft, lightweight, and a little see-through shrug, which doesn’t make you feel hot, something just perfect for summer knitting.
