About a week ago, we decided to start a series of fashion posts by request, meaning that you, our lovely readers, are invited to suggest topics for our upcoming blog posts. The first one to make a suggestion was The Unreal Bride , fellow twitterer and glam fashionista. Her idea: to write a post about Indian Kashmiri Shawls.

The Indian Kashimiri Shawls trend has been continuously growing in the past years, with lots of stylish ways to wear them. What first started as an attempt to keep out the cold has quickly became more about the style and fashionable look the shawls create. After experimenting with numerous ways of wearing them, we’ve discovered that the shawls look good in absolutely every way: from simply thrown over the shoulder to a more sophisticated style, perfect for a business meeting.

What makes Kashmiri shawls so special: Made from the finest wool, pashmina and shahtoosh, the Kashimiri Shawls are the ultimate luxurious way of combining fashion and function. The Kashmiri Shawls are perfect for any occasion, classy or casual, and any event. Among the different types of shawls, Kashmiri shawls may also include the soft pashmina shawls. These are available in both simple dye: pleasant colors such as beige, ivory, or almond and eye-catching colors, and also with rich traditional embroidery and fabulous designs. Either way, they’re created to make you stand out from the crowd. Another reason ladies love pashminas: they are flattering for all body types and add the finishing touch to any outfit!

How to wear Kashmiri shawls: Kashmiri Shawls truly are statement pieces and every fashionista has at least one in her wardrobe. The style of wearing them can enhance your appearance in a heart beat, making you look stylish and ready to wow:

Elegant: Kashmiri Shawls look fabulous draped around the head. You can even create a turban out of a luxurious shawl. And we all know turbans are back this season.

To achieve the perfect evening look, opt for the stole style: gently wrap the shawl around your shoulders, allowing the ends to hang down from the under arm. Perfect for eveningwear and as a bridesmaids’ accessory.

Full Shawl Wrap: To achieve this look simply wrap the full shawl around the shoulders. For a more fashionable approach, make a knot in the front. The latest celebrity to fall in love with the trend: Julia Roberts. The actress couldn’t stop wearing colored shawls while touring in India.

Chic Casual: Take a shawl closer to the size of a scarf and simply wrap it around your neck.

Hollywood Style: Want to dress like a celebrity? Take two pashmina shawls of different colors, then intertwine and drape them around the neck. Or go for the simpler version and get a reversible two-toned pashmina.

Belt/ Sarong Style: The sarong style is perfect for those who want to accentuate the hips area. All you need to do is nicely wrap the shawl around your waist. Perfect for a day at the beach!
