Style, Grace, and Heritage Draped the Shaza Way
Weddings in South Asia and beyond are more than ceremonies — they are expressions of tradition, elegance, and personal style. In this setting, a Pashmina shawl becomes more than an accessory; it’s a mark of grace, luxury, and cultural refinement. Whether you’re a guest, a family member, or part of the wedding party, wearing a Pashmina shawl from Shaza can elevate your presence in the most timeless way.
But how exactly should you wear it? Let’s explore how to style your Pashmina shawl with confidence and elegance at a wedding.
1. The Classic Shoulder Drape (For Men & Women)
The most traditional way to wear a Pashmina is to drape it over both shoulders, allowing it to fall evenly on either side. This style works beautifully over a sherwani, bandh gala, saree, or lehenga, adding warmth without overpowering your outfit.
Shaza Tip: Choose a Dushala or full-sized shawl in muted golds, creams, or jewel tones with subtle embroidery for this look.
2. One-Sided Royal Drape (Ideal for Sherwanis & Anarkalis)
Drape the shawl over one shoulder, letting it cascade down one side. This regal style, often seen in royal portraits, adds drama and elegance, especially when paired with intricately embroidered Pashmina like Shaza’s Kalamkari or Kani styles.
Shaza Tip: Secure it with a vintage brooch for a formal reception or wedding ceremony.
3. The Soft Wrap (Perfect for Evening Weddings)
Wrap the shawl loosely around your shoulders like a cape. This works well with sarees, gowns, and fusion outfits, and adds softness to the silhouette.
Shaza Tip: Opt for a lightweight handloom Pashmina in pastel or ombré tones with fine embroidery for summer weddings or indoor functions.
4. Front Toss Drape (Chic and Effortless)
Place the shawl around your neck and toss one end over your opposite shoulder, creating a diagonal layer across your torso. This styling suits indo-western outfits, Nehru jackets, and suits for both men and women.
Shaza Tip: Try this look with Shaza’s checkered or striped Pashmina stoles for a minimalist yet luxe look.
5. Couple Coordination (Elegant Gifting & Styling Idea)
Shaza also offers couple shawls woven on the same loom, designed to complement one another in motif and color. Wearing these coordinated Pashminas at a wedding not only makes a visual impact but also symbolizes harmony and connection.
Shaza Tip: These are perfect for gifting, especially for anniversaries, engagements, or part of a curated wedding trousseau.
Choosing the Right Pashmina for a Wedding
When selecting your wedding Pashmina, consider the following:
- Color Palette: Opt for festive tones like maroon, navy, emerald, ivory, or gold
- Craftsmanship: Embroidered, Kani-woven, or Kalamkari styles make a refined statement
- Formality: Lighter stoles for mehndi or haldi; rich full-sized Dushalas for the wedding or reception
- Gender-Neutral Appeal: Many Shaza designs are styled for both men and women
