4 Fun Ways To Style Your Dupatta This Wedding Season

The dupatta is one of the most versatile pieces of garment ever invented. Why wear it with just the lehenga or salwar-kameez when you can style it in unique ways? Check out these styles for your pre-wedding festivities; it can definitely add that extra glam to your outfit. 

Shrug It Off

First, divide your dupatta into four halves. Take one end of the dupatta and make a knot to the closer half. Do the same on the other side of the dupatta with the other half. You may not like the knots showing, so instead of tying knots, you may also use a safety pin. Make sure when you tie up the dupatta, you leave enough space for your hands to go through.

This look can be worn with a heavy dupatta, with a dupatta that has heavy borders, a printed dupatta or even an embroidered dupatta.

Top That!

Fold your dupatta once and tie it around your waist. Then pick up the entire dupatta and take both the ends and tie a knot around your neck; do this twice so that it doesn’t become loose.

This style again cannot have you using a heavy dupatta or a dupatta with too much work on it. So maybe go for printed or a dyed dupatta. To make the most out of this look, go for an ombre dupatta and make sure to highlight the ombre part of it!

White Magic

Fold your dupatta once and tie it around your chest. Make a strong knot to make sure it doesn’t move. From either the left or the right side, pick up the dupatta. But remember to pick up only one half, not both, leaving part of the dupatta down. Take a safety pin and attach that to the existing knot in the centre of your chest.

For this style, the silhouette of the dupatta matters the most so that the fall looks elegant. So make sure to opt this style only with thin cotton or silk dupatta. To make this style a little fun, you could also do it with a printed dupatta and a monochrome outfit.

Gilded Touch

Take a golden dupatta and wrap it around your shoulders. Tie a knot in the front, at your belly. Take a safety pin and pin the knot from the back so that it stays in place. Pull the dupatta and spread it out till your elbows.

This style could be done with contrasting colours, where the entire outfit could be orange in colour and the dupatta is hot pink in colour or you could style it with a matching coloured garment but with a little detailing work on the dupatta that allows it to stand out, like a border or some trims or frills.
