Indian weddings are the perfect occasion to bring out your most glamorous ethnic outfits. But when the cold weather rolls around, adding a shawl to your ensemble isn’t just practical—it’s an opportunity to elevate your look with style and sophistication.
Whether you are wearing a saree, lehenga or an anarkali, wearing a scarf creatively can help you stay comfortable without compromising on beauty. Learn timeless draping styles like the Maharani shawl drape and innovative tricks from Indian fashion influencers.
1. Maharani Shawl Curtain: Fit for royalty
Maharani Wall is its symbol Grace and Elegance:
- for Saris: Fold the shawl lengthwise and drape it neatly over both shoulders, letting the ends flow evenly. Alternatively, drape it diagonally across your torso and secure with a brooch for a casually royal vibe. It pairs beautifully with solid silk sarees.
2. Layer for warmth and style
For an Indo-Western twist, try these practical yet chic styles:
- Cape-style curtains: Wrap a shawl around your shoulders like a cape, leaving the ends loose, or tie a belt around your waist. It adds structure to lehengas or flowy sarees and is perfect for contemporary winter weddings.
- Cross-body drape: Tuck the shawl diagonally, tucking one end into the waistband of your lehenga and letting the other end fall over your shoulders. This look keeps you warm while showcasing the intricate details of the shawl
- Double-layer curtains: Pair your shawl with a dupatta for a royal double-layered look. Follow the traditional style of the dupatta while using the shawl as an over-the-shoulder wrap for added warmth and elegance.
4. Stuff for the win
No shawl veil is complete without the right accessories:
- Use a brooch or pin to secure the drape and add a touch of sparkle.
- Use it with a belt to cinch the shawl at your waist, creating a contemporary silhouette.
- Choose shawls in luxurious fabrics like pashmina, velvet, or banarasi to complement your outfit.
