Look Luxe at Weddings: Elegant Shawls That Complete Your Guest Look
A recent survey uncovered that 78% of wedding guests would rather their plus one show up overdressed than underdressed. Wild, right?
It hits home how much we crave that polished vibe. Our good old traditional shawl is one such product that can be used to elevate your outfit.
Why a shawl, you ask? Well, because it's versatile, packs a punch of elegance, and keeps you cozy during those chilly evening receptions.
In this blog you’ll learn tips on picking the perfect shawl for wedding guests.
Let's get into it!
Why Everyone Should Own a Shawl
I've always believed styling starts with purpose. Why throw on a shawl? It's not just about warmth. It can be used for adding texture, color, and a rich, luxe layer.
Going by the recent trends, we find that young shoppers like you want pieces that are versatile. Gen Z desires things that look good on the wedding day but are also wearable post-wedding, easy to pack, and Insta-worthy.
Here are five versatile shawls from Taroob that are exactly what you’ve been looking for:
Pichwai Shawl
I know today’s generation would not be aware of the beauty of Pichwai shawls. They're the hidden gems for introducing artistry into your look. These beauties draw inspiration from Rajasthan's devotional Pichwai paintings.
These paintings are basically intricate embroideries of Krishna tales, flowers, and peacocks on soft fabrics. Each shawl feels like you are wearing a canvas that tells a story.
To highlight your shawl, pair it with neutral outfits to let the motifs shine. Drape it asymmetrically over a jumpsuit for a fresh twist. Pin one corner to your waist to keep your hands free. Check out women's embroidered Pichwai Kalamkari shawl for vibrant details, or the men's version if you're going for a subtle traditional edge.
Kaani Shawl
Kaani shawls scream royal heritage. Kaani shawls are woven in Kashmir using tiny wooden bobbins for those mind-blowing paisley and floral patterns.
Super fine wool or silk is often used in weaving a Kaani shawl. They're lightweight yet warm, perfect for layering.
It is a very time-consuming process and a very tedious one. For styling, loop it around your neck like a scarf with a western blazer, or let it cascade over ethnic wear.
Avoid heavy jewelry and let the weave be the star. Snag the Taroob Raj Baaat Mughal Kaani shawl for women for that opulent feel, or the men's fine wool Zari Darabar Kaani shawl to keep it dapper and versatile.
Kalamkari Shawl
Kalamkari shawls are hand-painted products from Andhra Pradesh. The painting 'kalam' means pen, so expect natural dyes crafting myths, nature scenes, and bold motifs on cotton or wool.
They're breathable, eco-friendly, and add a boho-luxe vibe that's spot-on for young crowds. To style, fold it into a belt for waist definition, or wear it as a headscarf for sunset ceremonies.
Wash gently with mild soap to preserve colors. Dive into the multicolor Pashmina wool paisley Kalamkari shawl for women for cozy vibrance, or the men's heritage embroidered Kalamkari Dusala for a structured, artistic punch.
Jamawar Shawl
Jamawar shawls are pure opulence from Kashmir's looms. With dense paisley weaves that feel like silk heaven, Jamawar shawls are often reversible, so you get double the bang for your buck. They're heavy on tradition but flex so well with modern fits.
I once helped a bride's sister, Riya, 26, for a fusion wedding in Bangalore. Her outfit was contemporary, but the Jamawar shawl we chose brought in that heirloom elegance. She danced all night without a slip!
Style it belted over a coat for cooler venues, or casually thrown over jeans post-event. Insider advice: Steam lightly to refresh the sheen. Grab the women's soft silk Jamawar shawl for everyday luxury, or the men's soft silk reversible Jamawar shawl to mix patterns seamlessly.
Pashmina Shawl
Pashmina shawls are the OG of luxury. Spun from the undercoat of Himalayan goats, they're insanely soft, warm, and lightweight, often embroidered with zari for extra sparkle.
Pashminas are ideal for that subtle, luxurious elegance. Explore the heirloom hand-embroidered Resham and Zari shawl for timeless craftsmanship that screams investment piece.
