subject: Sporting The Perfect Patterned Shawl [print this page]

A good cover-up can make your favorite outfit feel just that much

better--like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, a patterned shawl

will not only keep you warm, but can heat up your style, too! With so

many options, fabrics, and styles, it can be difficult to select the

right style for you. We've gathered a wide variety of options, so you

can check out a few of the latest styles and hottest takes on this

classic look. Just because patterned shawls

are toppers does not mean you have to settle for anything less than the

absolute best. So, whether you're on the hunt for something with a

little sass, a clean-cut conservative cover-up, or a topper with just

the right amount of funk, we've gathered a collection that has a little

something for everyone. So, read on, and we know you'll get all wrapped

up in at least one of these fantastic options!We're starting

things off with a seriously cool and unique patterned shawl that's

guaranteed to make a statement, and only the best kind, of course!

Winter Kate's 'Eden Jacket' is truly heavenly. This print silk jacket

boasts a shawl collar with deep slits under the arms for a flow-y, easy

moving look. Its long kimono sleeves top off this lovely, easy look in a

soft and classy way. Landing thirty-inches from the center of the back,

this vintage woven silk falls just below the waist with ease and grace.

Its paisley print bodes shades of gold and warm brown for a look that

not only looks lovely, but works well with just about any skin tone. We

love the loose shape of this shawl; and, pairing it for a complete look

has really never been easier! Toss on a white

cotton tank top, or gray scoop neck shirt for an effortless, yet

classy look. Toss on your favorite pair of worn jean shorts

and leather

sandals, and you'll be all set for frozen yogurt with the girls, or

an afternoon iced tea with that special someone!Now that we've

looked into a lighter option, let's move over to something with a little

bit more weight and warmth. Loro Piana's 'Regina Animalier Cape' boasts

an open front, enormous, glorious cape sleeves, and sassy suede trim.

Constructed in Italy, this gray and dark gray cape boasts a funky

zebra-inspired pattern throughout. We love the oversized feel of this

funky, yet seriously warm option. Couple this cape perfectly with black

skinny pants, a long-sleeved black shirt, and black booties for a saucy,

classy, comfortable look. This is truly the best option for those of

you who are on the hunt for a patterned shawl that will keep you warm

and cozy without losing fashion and style. If you can appreciate the

all-black look we offered, but want to change it up a bit, this cape

would also look lovely with medium-washed skinny jeans, a white t-shirt,

and black

ballet flats. Regardless, this lovely patterned shall is perfect

for cuddling up with a book beside the fire, or heading out to dinner

with friends on a gray November evening.Now that we've checked

into to vastly different versions of a traditional patterned shawl,

let's hop over to a funky take on this shape, to round things off in a

progressive way. Casual Living's 'Striped Sweater Vest' boasts a loose

weave vest, shawl color, handkerchief hem, and sleeveless upper. This

black and white uneven striped shawl hangs thirty-one-inches long and

boasts black button accents on each side. Constructed of cotton and

rayon, we love the idea of pairing this comfortable, cool shawl with

bootcut jeans, black sandals, and a white tank top. For those of you who

are on the hunt for something with a little warmth, but nothing too

heavy, Casual Living has hit the spot!
