It depends on the weather and where you're from. In warm-weathered areas where you dress a little barer, wearing it around your shoulders as a cover-up is ideal. It will make you look - and feel - sensational.

In cold-weathered areas, the shawl would be used as a wrap around your neck for warmth. When you are indoors in the mall or workplace, you can still keep it around your shoulders as a great fashion accessory and statement.

Ideally, a pashmina shawl is really suitable anywhere, anytime, anyplace. While your look is a million bucks, you don't have to spend a lot of money on it.

Which style is right for you?

Whether you order the SHAWL or the STOLE depends on your height, the climate and how you wish to wear your pashmina.

If you're 5-foot-6 or taller, you'll want the SHAWL at 36x80 inches, the SHAWL provides ample fabric to 'wrap' your frame. Impeccable with everything from a formal evening gown to jeans, it is your essential year-round, chill-chasing wardrobe essential.

For those under 5'6, SHAWL provides a luxurious, taller look and more coverage than the STOLE. Please keep in mind that the SHAWLS' larger proportions can sometimes overwhelm a petite framed. Therefore, women under 5'6 should wear the STOLE in cooler weather and climates instead of a jacket or coat, or as a wrapover evening attire.


A most feminine way to wear it is to let it fall down your back, catching the length with your arms. This is the way a number of celebrities have been seen wearing it. Wearing your pashminas in this manner allow you to select any fashionable colour that suits your chosen outfits.

Lay the full shawl over the shoulders, stretchign out towards the rights. Toss the length across your chest so that the edge falls just over your left shoulder. The shawl will be covering your chest and neck-highlighting your gorgeous face.

The easiest and most classic way is to toss the shawl over your shoulders, with the ends behind your ways.

This method is the same as the classic way except that the ends are tied in a loose knot in front of you.

If you have very slim hips,
the pashmina can also be
tied around your hips.
