From lightweight textiles to heavy drapes, digital prints to plain shades, stoles have been the secret to many great fashion styles.

One of the best-selling accessories, stoles make it to the top of almost every stylist’s list. They are completely versatile, allowing for many different looks.

Yes, even with formal wear. Here are some tips for you to style designer stoles with formal wear.

1. The Infinity

This style will add extra oomph to your formal wear, while also keeping you warm. All you have to do is tie the ends of the scarf together and create a large loop. Hang the loop over your neck and twist the scarf and form the infinity sign. This style will look impeccable with printed stoles.

2. The Waterfall

  This style will make your outfit stand out. You just have to wrap the scarf around your neck twice and take the left corner, and tuck it into the right side. Tuck the other end of the scarf underneath. You can try out this style with a printed designer stole or a plain dupatta.

3. Belt It Up

Change it up and wear your thin scarf as a belt. Take your designer stole and fold it to make a rectangle, then tie it over your formal shirt and pants. Try it with a plain or a color-blocked stole to add some color to your office wear.

4. All Tied Up

This classic look provides a kitschy touch to your formal outfit. Tie a high bun or pony tail and tie your dupatta around it. Let the ends of the stole fall down at the back for a classy Bollywood look. You can wear this style with your kurta set or even pants and a shirt.

5. The Bow

This style will uplift your formal wear and make you look trendy. Drape the designer dupatta around your shoulders, making sure one side of the scarf is longer than the other. Make a bow with the long side, and wrap the shorter side around it. Pull to make it tight, and arrange the bow as you like.
