Shawls are a winter staple. And elegant shawls like those that come with Alkaram Studio’s outfits are a must-have in your winter wardrobe.
But shawls are quite versatile in their use. Men can use single-colored shawls in black, white, and beige. On the other hand, women can rock shawls as dupattas or wrap it around as a chaddar. Women can wear shawls on different occasions as well. Jacquard and velvet shawls look great at get-togethers and festive events like weddings, while shawls in muted colors work well in the workplace.
Keeping in mind that there are a couple of winter spells left before we bid adieu to the winter season, we have gathered some useful tips for you to elegantly style shawls or dresses with shawls.
1. Mix and Match with Solids
While Alkaram Studio has a lot of shawl outfits that complement the print and design of the outfit, you can always mix and match outfits when you have a shawl.
Shawls with designs, tassels, and gold accents can look great coupled with solid outfits. Plus, solids are quite popular these days too. Just pick a plain winter fabric in a color complementing the shawl from your Alkaram Studio outfit and enjoy a new outfit on a budget!

Designer Tip 2: If you want to wear a brighter colored top and chunky jewelry, this shawl outfit is the one you’d want to invest in this season. Pair it with red khaddar or viscose solid top and bottom for an alluring look.
2. Pair with Jeans and Top
Shawls give a great look with jeans and top as well. However, for pairing with jeans, consider a shawl that doesn’t have a lot of design elements. Plain shawls with minimalistic designing look great paired with jeans.

3. Layer it Up for Warmth and Style
Shawls also look elegant draped over light jackets or sweaters. If you live in a cold region, shawls are perfect for adding depth to your outfit. The shawl on top can make up for the design that the jacket or sweater is hiding.
