Wrap a pashmina scarf around your waist and hips, sarong style. Open the pashmina, gather the material around your waist and tie on one side of your hips. Pull the pashmina down so it rides low on the hips and covers your backside. This look adds color to a little black dress or to leggings and a basic top.

Tie the pashmina in a noose. Fold the pashmina in half lengthwise; then again along the width. You will have an end with a fold and one that is open. Put the folded shawl behind your neck. Pull the open end through the loop end and adjust around your neck.
