* Shawls and wraps are chic ways to cover yourself up when no jacket is required
* They come in cashmere, silk and wool options to work all year round
* Elevate a casual outfit or keep around the house and office
Shawls, wraps, scarves—whatever you choose to call them, the bigger the better in our opinion. They are one of the most versatile pieces you can own in your wardrobe as they function not only as an outwear or layering piece, but are perfect for your colder than average office, taking to the movies or wearing out to dinner.
Our favorite way to utilize the larger wraps is as a chic plane cover-up that can double as a blanket as well. We have found nine great multi-functional yet stylish options below.
1. Watercolor Jacquard Shawl Wrap
Bring life to your fall basics with this multi-colored shawl wrap. An intricate jacquard pattern pleases the eye, while fringe trim brings boho breeziness to your looks. Blended fabric offers easy care, and versatile wear options make it an instant go-to.
2. Burnout Fringe Evening Wrap
