Look 1:
Classy appearance with an easy, loose tie
2-way stole’s basic drape and tie

This 2-way stole features a pronounced slit, which produces a classy appearance when the sides are draped over your shoulders. Do a single wrap and add volume when it’s cold out. Both arrangements bring out the stole’s pattern, so they’re perfect for when you want an accent for your look.

The large, neutral checks catch the eye, even from afar. The moderately thick double-face fabric easily produces volume and brings an accent to coordinates

Look 2:
Get a more sophisticated feel through a bold use of the stole
2-way stole’s straight vertical line tie

Take advantage of the 2-way stole’s large size, and make a straight vertical line by letting one end hang lower. This produces a stylish appearance, which goes great with dashing looks, like pants styles. You’ll love how the tie brings out the vertical silhouette to produce better-looking proportions as well.

The plaid pattern of basic colors is bold, yet it’s also convenient due to its versatility. Use the fringes to bring a stylish feel to your looks as well. The stole’s fabric is soft to the touch and easy to tie.

Cashmere stole’s voluminous tie

This loose, voluminous tie produces a casual nuance when it’s fluffed. It also brings out the soft, glorious texture that’s exclusive to 100% cashmere. Add this knot to casual coordinates, like a down coat and striped tee arrangement, to complete a tastefully stylish appearance.

Casual stole’s Milan-style knot

The Milan-style knot is great because it produces a tight, orderly appearance that has depth around your neck. Slip the stole’s ends under the coat for a smarter, cleaner finish. Use this knot with chic items, like a Chesterfield, to foster a sophisticated look.

This stole feels great to the touch and is light, yet is warm because it’s 100% cashmere. Its large size lends itself to a variety of knots and even draping. The light purple model has a gorgeous appearance.

Techniques for selecting the cashmere stole’s color

If your wardrobe is predominantly navy or black…choose a playful, vivid color

The cashmere stole comes in many colors, like red, yellow, and blue, in addition to pink. Stoles that are bold, vivid colors are easy to coordinate because they cover only a small part of coordinated looks. Use such colors as accent in dark-toned arrangements, like all-navy looks.

If your wardrobe is predominantly white and beige…choose a nuanced color to produce a soft feelr

Choose nuanced tones for the stole, like light gray, olive, or off-white, so it matches your wardrobe’s demure feel. Instead of seeking contrast, blend the color into the overall arrangement to bring out the soft feel even more.
