Keep the center of your shawl at the back of your neck and let the two loose ends of the shawl hang parallel to one another at the front. It is better suited to those people who have a small body frame. It can enhance your look more if the pashmina you are wearing is studded with lots of beadwork.

Pashmina as Noose Wrap
This style is slightly complicated but it is quite unique. It will help you to stand out from the rest of the crowd. For this, first you have to make a noose wrap out of your shawl. The first step to prepare a noose wrap is to fold the shawl to half by its length. Keep the folded edge at the top and it should be facing you. Give the second fold to half along the width. As a result, you get one end which is folded and the other end is still open. Keep the folded end of the shawl behind your head. Then pull the open end of the shawl through the folded end formed at the other end. And your noose wrap is done!
Pashmina is one such versatile clothing that you can wear with any kind of outfits, be it with a casual pair of jeans or a formal evening gown. Besides the outfit, its style can also be decided according to the jewelry that is worn. Another good feature is that it also suits any occasion and is very easy to wear and carry around.
