SHAWLING WITH SHAMAEEL THE COVER-UP QUEEN SHOWS US HOW IT’S DONE!

As winter approaches, we are becoming more and more excited about wrapping ourselves up in the coziest shawls and cover-ups. Sadly, once you wrap yourself up in the one comfortable way you know, your entire outfit loses its charm and you end up looking the same every single day. BeautifulYou asked Shamaeel Ansari, the shawl expert, on some different ways to drape so we we’re not just warm this winter, but stylish too.

One way you can drape a shawl is by placing a majority of the shawl over one shoulder and swooping the remainder behind your back and over the opposite arm. This is a cool, spunky way to carry your shawl and still stay warm.

2. Fold your shawl in half and stretch it across your back and over your arms to the front. Create a large swoop on the back area to show off your beautiful shawl (and skills!). This may not keep you as warm as the other ways to wear it but it looks extremely elegant.

3. Wrap yourself in a shawl how you regularly would, but create an off-shoulder look by tightly wrapping it from the top and instead of having it cover both shoulders, wrap it over one shoulder and right below the shoulder on the opposite side. You’ll be cozier than ever and look even more stunning.

4. For the most regal option, fold your shawl to resemble a stole, making sure the edges of your shawl are aligned. Wrap the shawl off your shoulders and hold it together at the front.
