Creating new looks with limited budget can be challenging for women who love to dress up but with some innovative ideas, you can extend value to your buck by investing in some classic pieces. Like the twin set which has seen beautiful reinvention through the years, wearing a shawl can instantly change your look and give life to old pieces that you own. With a little creativity, any woman can learn how to wear a shawl and unleash her fashion spirit.
Start with buying a shawl in color that goes with most of your everyday clothing. If you're fond of wearing white tops, the more options you have. Try something bold like red, royal blue or hot pink. It will easily perk up a plain top into something fabulous. As you gain confidence in wearing a shawl, you can easily add up to your collection every season.

Shawls come in different materials, sizes, prints and colors but you can start by owning a piece or two while experimenting which look flatters your features best. The classic drape is the most common way of wearing a shawl. This is good if your shawl has cute tassels that you can show off. It jazzes up a look instantly.

From the classic way of wearing it, the possibilities are limitless. To look stylish and chic, try the European knot. Use a longer shawl, fold it into two then insert the two ends into the loop. This doesn't only frame up your face beautifully but also flatters short hair or an up-do.

The front knot is also easy to do. Just throw in the shawl over your shoulders and knot the two ends in front. Make the other end longer to give it more dimension and finesse.

As you get used to wearing the shawl, you can come up with even more ways to giving your wardrobe a boost. You can use it as a carried drape if you want to show off more of your party dress. When the colder months set in, it is also a fashionable way of keeping yourself warm when you get tired of wearing jackets and sweaters.

Use the shawl as a wrap or a cape. Wear it as a skirt over your jeans, mini dress, tight shirts or even swimsuits. You can also fashion it to look like a dress and instantly you have created another graceful piece.

Learning how to wear a shawl can transform your look from drab to fabulous. With so many options that you can master in no time, this is one of the cheapest ways to update an old classic dress, your favorite jeans or that ever reliable white shirt. Go and start experimenting now.
