Wearing Pashmina

How to wear a Pashmina : Charla Krupp, editor of Glamour magazine, recommended these five looks for the pashmina shawl at the Oprah Winfrey Show on March 6, 2000

Belt Style or Sarong : "For people with no hips," Oprah says. Just wrap around your waist, drape attractively and go.

Full Shawl Wrap : Simple, elegant, warm. Perfect for work, shopping or fun!

Hollywood Style : If one pashmina shawl is great, two must be twice as good.

The Pashmina Stole : Charla says this look is replacing mother's mink stole. It's terrific for evening, particularly with the higher-end, beaded pashmina shawls.

The Noose Wrap : This stylish look is easy to create — once you know how:
Step 1: Fold your pashmina shawl in half along its length, making sure the folded edge is at the top or facing you. Step 2: Fold the pashmina shawl in half again, this time along its width. You should have an end that's folded and an end that's open.
Step 3: Place the folded shawl behind your head. Pull the open end through the loop at the folded end. Voila! You're suddenly chic!
