throw on (a stole, shawl, smock, etc.)

Explanation:
はおって is from 羽織る, which means to put on, drape over the shoulders, etc.

羽織る：着物の上から軽く掛けるようにして着る (from Kotobank.jp)

さらりと implies quickness and lack of effort, which is why I'd go with "throw on" in this context. You could also say "throw (~~) over your shoulders."

Explanation:
リラックスコーデにはカーデっぽくさらりとはおって
For a relaxed look, drape [the item of clothing] lightly over your shoulders like a cardigan.

(deliberately avoiding the chokuyaku of 'coordinate')

Here's a picture to demonstrate (although the clothing item looks more like a thickish jacket than a cardigan): http://bit.ly/f36GPH
To clarify, はおる implies you don't put your arms through the sleeves.
