Different Ways of Wearing a Pashmina Shawl

Pashmina shawls can be worn as a classic shawl, knotted shawl, noose-style, neck scarf, belt or sarong, head scarf, or can be worn the Hollywood-style.

A Pashmina is both stylish and functional. It provides warmth and beauty to the one who wears it.

Classic shawl

This style is ideal for most occasions because of its simplicity. You can wear it around your neck, with one end over the shoulder. To add a bit of twist, you may tie the scarf in front of you and let the ends hang down.

Knotted shawl

TO add a bit more drama to the shawl, instead of wrapping it around your neck, you can wrap it around your shoulder, tying the ends together in front.

Noose-style

With the noose-style, you could wear it as you would a scarf. Fold the Pashmina in half lengthwise, ensuring that the folded edges are facing you. Next, fold it in half along the width. Place the folded end of the shawl behind your head, and to knot the shawl, pull the open end through the loop of the folded end. This is a stylish way of keeping your neck warm.

Neck scarf

You can also use type of shawl by folding it lengthwise and tying it once around your neck, letting the end hang behind you on your back.

As a belt or a sarong

This is a great way to use your scarf during the warmer months. At the same time, adding color to your outfit. Just tie it around your waist and secure it by making a knot. This is also a great way to add some curves to the hips.

Headscarf

This is an option you can take when it's too windy. Wearing it this way would keep your hair secure and away from your face. Simply wrap it around your head and secure it by tying it in front of you.

Hollywood-style

A rather popular style among celebrities. This style uses two Pashmina shawls, creating a two-toned effect with the added secondary color. You can do this by twisting the two Pashmina shawls together and tying it loosely around your neck.

A Pashmina is a wonderful staple to a woman's closet, a versatile accessory that can easily add color and spice to any outfit while still maintaining its functionality in either keeping one warm during the cold season or keeping your hair in place when it happens to be windy.
