1. The Bohemian Wrap

Whether you’re going to spending the day at an outdoor music festival or you just want to go for a more bohemian look for shopping and running errands around town, a pretty batik print shawl is a great way to add flair to your outfits. A lightweight shawl adds plenty of visual interest to your outfit, and you won’t feel suffocated in the way you might by a heavy coat. If the weather warms up, you can always fold your shawl into a long vertical strip of fabric and drape it over your shoulder, or tie it around your purse strap, depending on its size.

Belting a shawl over your outfit is a great way to make sure your shape doesn’t get lost when you wear oversized trends, particularly if you have a curvy body. It’s a great way to upgrade all your outfits for work. A skinny belt works amazing to cinch in the fabric, without adding extra bulk.
