How to Style a Shawl in 10 Different & Unique Ways
In this style guide, Giedre will show you how to style a shawl in 10 different ways.
The shawl that she will be styling is multifunctional because of the smartly placed buttons that you will see in some of the shawl wrapping styles.
Let's get started with these shawl wrapping styles!
Best shawl!
Style 1
The first style is the most classic one, and this is achieved by folding the scarf in half and pulling the open end through the loop.
This style looks particularly stylish with the thick shawl and the V shape that it creates frames the model’s face very nicely.
Style 2
For the next look, Giedre kept one end of the scarf in the loop and brought the loop round to the model’s back.
The other end of the scarf she left hanging down at the front for a nice asymmetrical aesthetic.
Style 3
Here, Giedre took the shawl out to its full width and then styled it so that one side is overlapping the other on one of the model’s shoulders.
This is a great example of how you also have the option to wear a shawl or scarf wide like this.
Style 4
This is where you will start to see how the buttons on the shawl can come into play.
Here, the model has the shawl draped over one shoulder, and on the other shoulder, Giedre has done up one of the buttons.
In this look, the shawl almost looks a bit like a long flowy top that sits on the model.
Style 5
This look is very similar to the last one, the only difference being that the shawl is buttoned up under the model’s arm instead of on top of her shoulder.
This style creates a nice diagonal, cut-across appearance.
Style 6
The next look really is a cross between a shawl and an outerwear garment.
Here, Giedre has done up all of the buttons on the shawl and positioned the buttons down the model’s center like a jacket. The look is symmetrical on both sides, creating a balanced and proportional look.
Style 7
Here, the shawl is styled in the same way, but Giedre has added a belt around the waist to bring some definition to the model’s waistline.
Style 8
Giedre has kept the shawl the same with this look but brought the buttons round to the back. In addition, she added a long necklace to the front, which works really well against the backdrop of the shawl.
Style 9
Again, we have a very similar look, with Giedre only making small changes each time to alter the appearance.
This style is the same as the last one, only this time Giedre has gathered the shawl up to make it narrow and not wide.
Style 10
For the last look, the model is wearing the shawl around her head. This can be a great practical look if it ever starts to rain when you’re outside and you don’t have a hood or an umbrella on you.
