How to Wear a Pashmina Hollywood Style

Fold two pashmina scarves in the Hollywood style.

Pashmina is a soft wool fabric harvested from Himalayan goats. Worn by celebrities and fashion-forward women, these scarves feature brilliant colors and are usually tied around the neck, hips or draped loosely around the shoulders. The Hollywood style pashmina uses two scarves folded together to create a colorful two-tone effect.

Instructions

1. Pick two colors that complement your skin tone. Because both scarves are tied near your face, select two hues that flatter your skin. Mix black, navy, red or hot pink together if you have cool undertones. For women with warm undertones, mix lavender, plum, mauve, camel, coral and ivory scarves.

2. Fold each pashmina separately lengthwise. Comb the bottom of the scarf with your fingers to separate each knotted strand of fringe.

3. Intertwine the two shawls three times to create a woven pattern. Tie the scarves together loosely, to show both colors evenly.

4. Drape the scarves and showcase both colors beautifully. Place both folded shawls on the front of your neck. Let both ends of the scarves hang over the shoulders.

5. Wear the scarves together as a noose wrap. After folding the pashminas seperately lengthwise, fold both scarves along their width. Place both scarves---one on top of the other---loosely around the back of the neck. Place both ends with the fringes through the opposite end that is folded. Pull the fringed end completely through the folded end to tighten around your neck.

Tips & Warnings

• A pashmina folded in the Hollywood style is perfect for women seeking to redirect the eye away from large hips and thighs.
