The shawl can be a garment that makes all the difference when worn in the right way. It allows you to cover your shoulders when needed and drape beautifully. Read on to learn how to dress your favorite shawl fashionably.
The “traditional” look
The most traditional way to wear a shawl is to drape it over the shoulders. The loose ends of the shawl should hang evenly in front of the body to cover the shoulders and part of the arms. This style gives warmth to a winter outfit without constricting the arms as any coat would.
Closed with belt
Lay the shawl over the shoulders and overlap the two sides of the fabric on the chest. Wrap a belt around the waist to secure the shawl fabric.
Asymmetrical Poncho
To turn the shawl into an asymmetrical poncho, lay the garment over your shoulders and arrange it to your liking. Fasten the ends of the shawl in the center of the chest with a pin. Rotate the shawl to the side so that the long sides hang down the arm to create an asymmetrical look. Wear this poncho over a T-shirt and skinny jeans for a cozy, casual outfit.
