Tips & Warnings
Try fastening the ends of the shawl together with a decorative pin, rather than tying them together for a chic new look. Neck shawls can also be draped around the hips to make a fashionable cover-up over a swimsuit, leggings or skinny jeans.
Do not tie the shawl too tightly as this takes away from the flowing, loose-fitting quality that these garments are made for.
