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 While originally made out of a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.
