4 Chic Ways To Style A Shawl- Karianne's Secret Review

It's getting chilly these days in the UK and what's better than to wrap yourself around a nice warm shawl? Today, I want to talk about how I style my new cashmere shawl from Karianne's Secret, one of the best cashmere accessories shop out there. The shop sells lovely cashmere accessories plus jewellery on their website and also on Etsy. They have an amazing range of items that I'm sure you'll all love! 

I've always had a thing for thick-knitted cashmere scarves like the one I am featuring today from this amazing shop. The best thing about Karianne's Secret is that their items are all handmade from high-quality cashmere yarns, which means that the items not only look stylish but are also going to last for years to come. Cashmere is the warmest material you can possibly wear, so if you're looking for a treat I'd definitely recommend checking their range out. 

Now, onto the topic of shawls. Sometimes, it's really tricky to style wraps and shawls because there are so many ways to wear them. Whether you want to wear them as a thick scarf, a wrap, a poncho or just a thick knot, they simply go well with any outfit in your wardrobe. Here are a few suggestions as to how to wear them around your winter jumpers. 

1. The uneven knot

This is probably the most stylish way to wear a shawl. I simply tie a knot around the front, and tuck one side in a bit so the draped part in front is uneven. This way, the shawl looks stylish and chic, and won't feel frumpy or too symmetrical. This goes really well with jumpers and looks cozy for plane journeys. 

2. The drape 

As the name goes, the easiest way to wear a shawl is simply to drape it across your neck. It's a very basic way to style a scarf or shawl, but looks stunning because of the length of the piece itself. Longer shawls like this 100% cashmere shawl from Karianne's Secret is perfect for this simple look because it is lengthy, draping and thick. The chunky knitted texture also adds an extra layer of sophistication to any outfit. I love how it covers your shoulders too so you never feel cold. 

3. The tucked in knot 

To achieve this look you simply tie a knot and tuck one side into the back of the knot, which gives off a "chic" vibe. This elegant way of wearing a shawl is more unusual but looks really pretty and girly at the same time. I love this way of wearing shawls as it elevates any winter outfit. It also protects your shoulders from the cold and can be adjusted however you want. 

4. The backwards wrap

This method of wearing the shawl involves wrapping the shawl around your neck at the front, and then flipping the ends so it drapes across your back. This backwards look is stylish and chic, and transforms your shawl into a poncho. I love how warm and comfortable this look is, and it would go well with boots and a thick jumper. 

Overall, these are the 4 ways that I'd style a shawl but they'd work well with any type of scarf or poncho. Karianne's Secret has some of the most amazing cashmere knitted accessories that I've seen, and I'm so happy that I got to try out this shawl from their 2-ply cashmere collection. The quality is excellent and it's super warm and cozy. I can't recommend them enough!
