How to Wear a Pashmina Shawl Fashionably?
A
pashmina shawl is a great way to keep the cool weather at bay. There are many
other ways to
wear
a shawl so that you can stay at the height of fashion.
With
a pashmina shawl, they are lightweight and warm, but they can be worn
without making
you
feel uncomfortable. While originally made out of a wool/silk blend, other types
now
available
are made from different fabrics.
If
you want a fashion statement without feeling as if you are overheated, look for
one made of
cotton
or vecose. These fabrics aren’t designed for warmth as much as cashmere is, so
they are
better
for indoor ensembles.
One
way to wear a pashmina shawl is over the shoulders and secured with a broach.
You can
secure
the shawl in front of you or on one shoulder for a different look.
If
you don’t like the idea of a broach, you can secure the shawl by tying it in a
knot or using a
circlet.
These versions don’t always stay in place, however, especially if silk is part
of the
material
used to create the shawl.
For
those who want to create a different look, you can drape the shawl over your
shoulder and
tuck
it into your belt. If you wish, you can tie it at your waist.
A
different version of this look is draping it over your shoulders, like a scarf,
and then tucks both
ends
into your belt or waistband. If you have a plain top and pattern scarf, the
contrast is
striking.
Some
people wear their pashmina shawl toga-like over a dress. This look can keep you
as warm
as
the traditional version but offers a unique appearance for a dinner party or
romantic
evening.
Shawls
are long and wide, and the pashmina variety is often oversized. This allows you
to drape
it
over your head and then wrap it around your shoulders.
If
you wrap it around your upper body twice, there is often enough material to
drape the
pashmina
shawl over your shoulder. Slender women can pull off nicely this nice, Roman
look.
If
you are slender or have narrow hips, a shawl can be worn as an overskirt.
Simply tie it around
your
waist over pants or a skirt.
The
result is a gypsy look, especially if you have a plain skirt and multi-colored
shawl. You can
secure
it in front of you or over one hip if you like.
There
are so many different ways to wear a pashmina shawl. Whether you are looking
for a way
to
stay warm on a spring evening or a new way to spruce up an old outfit, a shawl
is a nice
accessory.
A
pashmina shawl is a great way to stay abreast of fashion trends without buying
a new outfit.
A
few shawls in different colors and patterns can create several new looks. Bring
your wardrobe
to life with a pashmina
shawl.
