Dupattas
Versatile accessories are often preferred for they can be worn with most outfits. One of the core reasons to use accessories is to elevate a look but many also wear them as an expression of their style or simply to feel comfortable. A dupatta, for example, is one of those accessories. Originally identified as a modest piece of garment for women, the dupatta is now more than what it used to be. It can be styled artistically as a cover or a drape to create all those elegant looks you’ve always wanted, i.e. mix and match. When you have ample options in varied designs, colors and materials, mixing and matching dupattas with outfits is no less than fun.

How to Style a Designer Dupatta As mentioned earlier, the dupatta is more than what it used to be. Fashion has evolved over centuries & so has the use of the dupatta. Use these tips to create a fabulous look with our range of colorful designer dupattas. Dupatta With Jeans – This one is a great option for fusion wear. Pleat the dupatta lengthwise & put it over your left shoulder like a saree pallu, leaving enough of the dupatta in the front. Now, tuck a corner of the fabric at the front to create a cowl around the knees. Dupatta on One Shoulder With Belt – Wear the dupatta (pleated or scrunched) on one shoulder & wear a belt, securing the dupatta at the waist. This style looks fabulous with ethnic & western wear if teamed properly. Dupatta With Saree – Wear your saree as you do and simply lay the dupatta (that goes well with your saree) on the other shoulder. Pin it at the shoulder if needed. This is a great styling option for a super-dramatic look. Dupatta With Lehengas - No lehenga look is complete without a dupatta. Try printed or embroidered dupattas with solid-colored lehengas. If the lehenga is heavily printed or embroidered, go for a plain dupatta. Also, choose dupattas in fabrics that compliment your lehengas. Try some classic drapes too, such as the one-shoulder drape or the siddha pallu drape with the dupatta draped diagonally in the front to add elegance to your look.
