1. Draping Shawl With Saree

First, pleat the shawl and pin it to the opposite side of the pallu. Then pin the other side to the blouse and secure the shawl at the wrist. Pin your pallu above the shawl. You can now cover your head using both the shawl and the saree's pallu.

2. Draping Shawl Instead Of Saree

Instead of draping the pallu of the saree, you can drape the shawl. Tuck the shawl on one side of the saree and pin it on the shoulder. Take the remaining pleats of the saree and create the front pallu.

3. Shawl On Side

This is a simple trick of just pinning the shawl on the opposite side of the pallu. Not only is this easy, but it also looks elegant, and the texture and colour of your pashmina will add contrast.

4. Butterfly Cape Style

Tie the shawl in the middle with a ribbon and then tie the remaining part of the ribbon around your waist. Cover your shoulders as you are wearing a jacket and secure it with a safety pin in front.
 
 
This year, don't let the cold spoil your look. Choose a soft velvet shawl or a warm pashmina, drape it in a style that keeps your saree visible, and enjoy your Arghya comfortably.
