Shawls… 5 Fresh Ways To Wear Your Shawl!
There are many ways to wear your shawls. However, do not forget this alternative that a shawl can be worn like a scarf. You could experience the extra warm that the shawls can bring to you with their larger size. Can you imagine how warm it can be in the record lowest temperature -50C in Canada? When we are talking about shawls or wraps, people used to the scene that a superstar wearing a shawl and walking on the red carpet.
Beautiful shawls… in today’s fashion, shawls are no longer just for the grannies. If you’ve been watching TV or reading any trendy magazine at all, you know that many celebrities are donning this trusty accessory and not just for practical purposes but to add a nice touch of style to their getup. In fact, there are several fresh styles in wearing one that can perk up your everyday outfits. If you’re excited to try them, read on.
1. A very easy yet stylish way to wear your shawl is to wrap it around your neck like you would a scarf. This style keeps the neck warm and just letting the ends hang down from your shoulders makes the overall getup interesting. You can adjust the ends so they are not even for a more laidback look.
2. Another simple style is to wrap it in a way that it gathers at the elbows. This style is very sophisticated and is perfect when you have a shoulder-baring dress or top. To create this style, just place the shawl across the shoulder with both ends falling down your front. Then shrug off the cloth off your shoulders and just let it bunch up at your elbows. This style is mainly done as fashion statement and obviously will not work if it’s chilly because it leaves your shoulders bare.
3. The shrug-style is a great way to wear this accessory with a short dress or a fitted tee. The style is similar to the above except with this one you keep it wrapped over your shoulders and your arms. The ends are tied at the back so the piece is secure and the flaps are out of your way.
4. If you need to keep warm and still want to look chic, try these two styles of wearing a shawl – the cape style and the wrap.
To do the first one, simply throw the ends of the garment over your shoulders and bring them back around to your front where you will tie them in an ascot-style knot. This will create a small cape that will look great over a sweater or any shirt. It’s cute and adds warmth. To do the wrap, just drape it over the shoulders and bring the entire width of both ends to cross in front of you before tying them together at the back. This style makes it look like you are wearing a cropped wrap-around sweater.
5. You can also turn it into a skirt. Just wrap it around your waist and secure properly with a knot or a clip. This looks cute over leggings or denims or to spice up a plain shirt.

I need a new style to start the year fresh, any ideas?
I am a teen girl, with braces and mild acne, frizzy shoulder length hair, contacts/glasses, tall and skinny. Last year, all I wore were jeans with a graphic tee and black converses. Now I am entering my first year of high school and i need a change, please help! I am 5”7 and painfully shy, self-conscious about my size 8 and a half feet, my calves and face/nose. I really would appreciate some help, thanks!
Right, i went through exactly the same thing as you, all i wore were graphic tees, skinny jeans and converses. I have changed my style completely within the last year, so i’m going to help as i know what it feel like to need a change. I am also very shy too, and i’m 14, so i guess we have alot in common.
I have changed into more vintage clothes and floral prints, maybe you could say a more unique style.
Here’s a really nice tartan dress from matalan:

And here’s a nice dress from topshop:

I always wear tights, they go with everything, and i like textured tights like this too:

This is one of my favourites. It would look really nice with a long pearl necklace, black tights, and i long black cardigan:

Cardigan:

(wear unbuttoned with a dress)
I absolutely adore these shoes, they would go with the poppy dress and black tights:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=175024&parent_category_rn=175011&productId=1317324&langId=-1
This is also an awesome top:

This would be nice over black skinny jeans, wear with messy hair, so yoru firzzy hair would be nice for this look:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=174505&parent_category_rn=42325&productId=1272677&langId=-1
I really want this top! Casual:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=174508&parent_category_rn=42325&productId=1297070&langId=-1
If you have a plain white vest top, this is nice to wear with it:
http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=151408&parent_category_rn=85550&productId=1330828&langId=-1
I suggest tucking the white top in a making this a waist high skirt, and you could wear this with blue tights and the shoes i previoulsy posted a link for.
Well, i hope you have had an insight into my new style, and i hope you like it and could possibly try it out for yourself? It’s a great confidence booster so it will make you less shy.
My favourite things to wear are:
- Floral dresses
- Print tops
- Laced shoes
- Dark tights
- Cardigans
I really hope i’ve helped.
