Simply pleat one side of the dupatta style on suit and wear it across the neck leaving the other side of the dupatta open and flowing. This style is perfect for flowy fabrics and high-neck outfits.

 

Wearing It Open From One Side

This is another simple way of styling your dupatta. Just let it be open from one side covering your arm. It looks like an open pallu saree.

 

Lehenga Choli Style!

If you are wearing a lehenga choli with a rather simple neckline, then just put your Chunni (Dupatta) around your neck, pleat it from both ends, and ta-da you’re good to set the stage on fire! It is so comfortable to dance in and also looks so gracious.

 

Wrap It Around Your Arms

Too confused about draping and styling? Just wrap the Dupatta around your arms from the back (as shown above). Yeah I know it’s too common but it’s comfortable and fashionable also! Plus this is a Dupatta draping style that will never go off.

 

Just Play It Around!

If you are a photofolic and can’t resist the urge to post something unique on your Instagram, then this is perfect for you. Simple as it seems, you just need to play around with the dupatta, and wrap it around your arms from the front to get those beautiful shots!

The Gujarati Drape & Pleated Dupatta On Other Side

The Gujarati drape is also so much in trend nowadays. Simple and sophisticated it looks! You need two dupattas one for the Gujarati Saree drape and another for the pleated one on the other side. This Gujarati drape will make a triangle and then go all the way up for the Ghunghat and another dupatta will simply be pleated and pinned on the shoulder.

 

For Regal Brides

This will make you look like you fell straight out of heaven! Dreamy and fairy-like it looks!

 

Wearing It Like A Shrug

Do you want something dapper? This shrug-like dupatta style is for you. For that, you need to pin both the ends of the dupatta together and wear it backward. This is also very popular these days.
