Pashmina brigade

[Kit]

The collective term for a group of wealthy, [upper-middle-class], usually white young women or girls. They come from English public-school backgrounds and are distinguishable through their speech (yaaaar, daaaaahling) and their dressing, which often involves hugely tousled blonde hair and a [pashmina], hence the name. A sweatshirt from the school Lacross/Hockey/Netball team, often with an individualised nickname across it (eg. TEQUILA) may also be used. An individual member of the [Pashmina] Brigade is known as a [sloane].
