A shawl could be a piece of wool fabric for some people, but for someone who knows its true value, this elegant piece is a fashion statement in itself, and an emblem of Indian culture, heritage, and craftsmanship. And if you know how to style a shawl according to the occasion, you can represent all these values in a true sense.

A shawl can be worn to stay warm as well as a fashion accessory. For a formal look to an informal and casual look, a shawl gives you the perfect drape that elevates any outfit. And it is how you style a shawl that represents unique you. Through this blog, let’s delve into some shawl drapes and find out how to style a shawl for the best look.

1. Styling a Pashmina Shawl

Let’s start understanding how to style a shawl with the classic drape of a Pashmina shawl.
This effortless method involves just placing the shawl on both shoulders without tying it and letting it fall freely. This drape is best for a casual event where you want to enhance your style with just a touch of elegance.

If you want a more structured look, then you can go for the belted wrap. In this, you drape the shawl over your shoulders and wear a belt by tying both ends over your waist. This way, you get the sophisticated look for outings and casual occasions like that.

Knowing how to style a shawl to get a sophisticated look for a formal event completes your guide for styling a Pashmina shawl. For this, you just drape the shawl over one shoulder and toss the other end loosely over the other shoulder. If you are wearing a Pashmina shawl with contrasting borders, this drape gets highlighted well.

Kalamkari Shawl

The Kalamkari shawls are world-known for their hand-painted designs. Knowing how to style a Kalamkari shawl opens up new opportunities to showcase your fashion identity. So let’s start with the cape style.

Styling the Kalamkari shawl in a cape style gives you an elegant look. In this, you put your shawl on your shoulders like a cape and tie its ends with a stylish brooch to complement your style at the front. This style not only gives you the elegant and stylish look for an outdoor casual outing, it also keeps you warm and secure from chili weather.

Want a relaxed look? Go for the bohemian wrap. This look is ideal for fun events and casual strolling. To have the bohemian wrap, you drape the shawl around your neck and keep the ends hanging loosely in front.

Another style of our how-to-style shawl guide is the Twisted loop. The twisted loop drape stands out best when you use the shawl with intricate patterns. For this, fold your shawl lengthwise, making it a loop around your neck. The ends are also twisted, creating a complete loop without any loose ends. This is the perfect drape you want in cold weather with style.

Ari Shawl

The Ari shawls are known for the detailed embroidery work they come with. When you learn how to style a shawl as stylish as an Ari shawl, you can flaunt the artwork with elegance.

To get dressed up for the chill winters, you can pair the Ari shawl with a double loop with almost anything. From casual jackets to long coats, this style pairs perfectly well with almost all outfits with the charm of embroidery that comes with the Ari shawl. For this loop drape, you have to fold the shawl lengthwise, wrap it around your neck, and keep the ends hanging.

For a formal occasion, choose an over-the-shoulder drape for a polished and elegant look. This styling of the shawl goes best when done with Ari shawl because of the fine embroidery artwork. To achieve this style, drape the shawl over one shoulder, then pull the other end across your opposite side waist or hang it over your opposite hand. This gives you a neat appearance at a formal event with an elegant and luxurious look.

These are some of the ways to style your shawl, but there are many more. Don’t forget, a shawl is a versatile piece that can elevate any outfit and provide you the element of elegance and luxury. So, it becomes more important to master how to style a shawl that represents you.
