Options for Wearing a Shawl

There are many different ways that you can wear a shawl. This extremely versatile accessory can provide both warmth and serve as a fashion statement. Try wearing it a variety of different ways.
One very easy way to wear a shawl is to just wear it over your shoulders. This is the easiest way because you just drape it across. It can provide a lot of warmth and be very comfortable. You can easily take it on and off.
Another option is to drape it over your shoulders and then secure it in front of you. There are many different accessories that you can secure it with. They make clips that you can buy that are specifically made to secure shawls. You can also get an attractive scrunchie and use that to hold the sides together. Another idea is to use an attractive pin to hold the sides together, but make sure that this does not ruin the fabric.
It is up to you as to where exactly you want the clip to be. You can have it very high up so that the shawl is warm against your neck, or you can have it lower. Experiment with this to see what you like.
One way to adjust this look is to simply turn the shawl so that the part where it comes together is on the side. For instance, drape the shawl all around you and then secure it with the clip and then rotate it so that the clip is resting on your shoulder. If you want, you can pull the shawl down so that it is off the shoulders, or you can make it looser so that it is hanging in the front.
You can also turn the shawl completely around and have the ends hanging down your back. This will give you a broader look in the front and also show off more of the fabric. This works well if there is a panel that you want to cover your entire torso. You can have the ends just hanging down the back or you can secure them in the back with a clip or a pin.
You can also wear the shawl somewhere different than your neck. You can have it hanging over one shoulder. You can also wear the shawl as a belt. This works well when the shawl is a little longer, but thinner. For instance, you can wear it as a belt when you are wearing a dress.
There are many different ways to wear a shawl. Experiment with the different ways to see what you like best.
