Admit it, whoever invented the 'shrug' must be thanked immensely. Most of us girls love shrugs. Whether we use it to give us some warmth, to layer over a skimpy top or dress or as a statement piece for our outfit, this versatile piece is pure magic!
On a recent visit to the Max India store, I laid my eyes on this long, summery shrug with a stripe pattern and fell in love with it instantly! I had made up my mind to purchase it and I did. What followed was inevitable - I would pair it with a lot of outfits and was delighted to see the effect it gave to my different looks.
So here am I today sharing 3 ways to style a long shrug:
1) With a pair of denims and tee.
For the first one, I kept it a casual, all-day look and teamed my shrug with a millennial pink tank top, a pair of distressed denims and high-top white sneakers. I accessorized with a scarf, my nerdy clear glasses and a white watch.

2) With a maxi
This is a very comfortable yet put-together look. You can wear it on a day of shopping or even for an evening outing. I paired my shrug with a black sleeveless maxi and used a sleek braided belt to keep the shrug in place, finishing it with a pair of tan flats.

3) With a short dress
For the last one, I tried a very chic yet subtle look suitable for evenings or night outs. I teamed the shrug with a bell sleeved solid green, knee length dress and a pair of tan flats (you can totally wear heels or sneakers with this one). The contrasting length of the long shrug and the short dress works perfectly for this look.
