How do you wear a Pashmina to a wedding

Are you planning to host a winter wedding? Or have you been invited to a wedding held in winter or fall? One Of the most important tasks is to find what you wear. Summer outfits are easy to find and carry. But can you carry the same heavy and embellished apparel when the weather demands sitting under blankets, all cuddled up? One of the ways that you can look equally ethereal in winter too is the addition of a classic Pashmina shawl to your apparel. Pashmina shawls, especially those which come from Kashmir, are one of the most exquisite accessories that one can wear. These shawls are fine, beautiful, lightweight, and immensely elegant.

Being such versatile, Pashmina shawls are now a must-have in one’s winter collection or Fall wardrobes. Brides, as well as bridesmaids, opt for Pashmina shawls in different patterns when it comes to these special occasions and events. Brides usually choose the heavy hand-embroidered shawls but bridesmaids pink the lesser embellished ones like Swarovski studded Pashmina shawls or lightly embroidered pieces. Nevertheless, Pashmina shawls, in every look and colour, never cease to catch the attention of the onlookers owing to their grace and ethereal looks.

Place the center of the shawl edge on one of your shoulders. Let the shawl hand from this side of your body. This style showcases each detail on the shawl and is ideal to carry if the shawl is embroidered or Kani. It is easy, effortless, and can be paired with western as well as ethnic apparel. Ideal for the days when you don't have enough time to style your shawls.

Wrap Style of wearing a Pashmina

Simply wrap your Kashmiri shawl around you. Place one end of the shawl on one shoulder, and bring it from your back to the front again. You can tie a brooch to the opposite shoulder to fix it properly. This style too is easy, and ideal for days when you are in a hurry.

Scarf Style of wearing the Shawl

Throw your shawl over your nape adjusting one end longer than the other. Bring the long side around the other and adjust to make sure both ends are at equal lengths. It might look like a scarf. This style looks good if the shawls are solid, shibori, or patterned. Do not style an embroidered or Kani Pashmina like this.

The Belt style of Pashmina

You can convert a traditional shawl into a modern accessory in this style. Simply place the centre of the shawl over your nape after gathering it together lengthwise. Now let the two sides dangle from the front. Belt both of them at the waist. You are good to go. (Make sure the belt isn't tied too tightly).

Knot Pashmina shawl at the back

You can style a heavy Kashmiri shawl (thickly embroidered or Kani) in this way. Simply throw the ends at the back and tie them at the center of your lower back in a stylish knot. You can again use a brooch here if required. This style makes the shawl look like a baggy top.

Wear the shawl in a Poncho style

Drape your Kashmiri shawl across the shoulders such as the loose ends are at the front. Pin the two sides together, or simply make use of a stylish brooch. This creates a modish look out of the most traditional Pashmina shawls.

Dupatta Style of the shawl

Another way to style your Kashmiri Shawl is to wear it like local women wear a dupatta (an ethnic wrap). Just throw the ends of your shawl into the back, covering the front entirely with the mid portion of the shawl. Do not tie the ends at the back in a knot. Just let them loose. Tada!
