How To Tie A Pashmina Scarf




Pashmina Scarf
Is it okay to wear a scarf with a hooded sweatshirt?

My friend just gave me a nice pashmina-like scarf for Christmas. I’m just wondering–is it okay to wear that type of scarf with a hooded sweatshirt (I’d be wearing the scarf all day, not just under a winter coat)? I really like the scarf, but I wear hoodies pretty much every day during the winter. Will it look bulky/awkward, or will it work? Thanks :)

No I think it will look fine but when you put it on with your sweatshirt it’s really up to you to decide if you like the look or if it’s comfortable and not too bulky.
