Why Every Modern Gentleman Needs a Men’s Shawl

How to Wear It with Confidence

Shawls have always been considered a woman’s attire. But actually, it is not at all the case. Historically, a shawl has been worn equally by both men and women. In India, a shawl was an integral part of the king’s attire as well as courtsmen’s. A shawl is still considered a part of elegant style for men. This is the reason we are saying why a men’s shawl is a must have for the modern day gentleman.

Timeless appeal of the men’s shawl

The modern day man is more conscious of his style and the impression he makes. To fulfill the fashion appetite of modern day gentlemen, a men’s shawl is the perfect piece that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, which are, providing warmth and enhancing the outfit.

When a men’s shawl is worn, you display more than just a style. A shawl also holds cultural values in itself. You’ll find the roots of shawls all over the world. From the Pure Pashmina Shawl from Kashmir to the Tartan Plaids of Scotland, each shawl symbolizes a heritage.

A piece of fabric made of wool threads, which we call a shawl, brings versatility with itself. So, a thoughtfully chosen shawl not only transforms any simple outfit to give you an elegant look, it showcases your unique style too. How you drape a shawl conveys a sense of effortless grace and confidence.

In the next part of the blog, we’ll talk about different styles of wearing a shawl that gives you the ultimate look you want.

How to wear a shawl with confidence

As mentioned earlier, how you wear a shawl is a statement in itself. Different drape or wearing style of the shawl creates a huge difference in your looks and the message you want to convey in that particular ensemble. One thing to always keep in mind, when you choose a particular shawl wearing style is that not all drapes or wearing styles are made for all types of shawls. There are some scarves that are so elegant that you can’t just wear them casually. Now, let’s talk about different wearing styles or drapes that give you a confident look, whether you want to wear it for a casual outing or any formal event.

Drape over the shoulders

This is the most classic and simplest way to wear your shawl, which easily goes with almost all types of shawls and especially the elegant shawls. For this, drape the shawl around your shoulders by making sure its ends are evenly balanced and are hung naturally. This style enhances any outfit, even the simplest one, for any formal event.

Wrapped around the neck

This type of drape is best to give you a casual look. But not just the casual outfit, this style is also good to elevate your formal outfit too and gives you warmth and a touch of sophistication at the same time. There are different ways of wearing your shawl in this drape. You can just keep the shawl’s end hanging or experiment with different types of knots. You can choose whatever suits you best.

Belted shawl for a structured look

To have a modern look, wrap your shawl over your both shoulders from behind the neck and tuck the shawl’s ends in front in a belt. This gives you a structured look to display modern style.

One shoulder drape for a practical look

Managing a shawl can be difficult. For a more practical but stylish look, you just drape your shawl over one shoulder. This gives you freedom to move freely. This type of drape works best for the shawls that have intricate designs, patterns, embroidered borders or bold colours.

Final Thoughts

Because a shawl is such a versatile piece of fabric that gives you not just a stylish look but it elevates any outfit with a touch of sophistication and elegance, we are saying, ‘Why every modern gentleman needs a men’s shawl and how to wear it with confidence’.

At KCS Kashmir Shawl Emporium, you get a range of men’s shawls in a variety of styles with the facility of shipping worldwide, with free shipping for orders more than Rs 25000. And apart from the men’s shawl, you can get women’s shawls like Ari Embroidered Shawl, Pure Pashmina Shawl, Kalamkari Shawl, etc.
