The first style she revealed was a sari-inspired drape, with one end of the dupatta pinned at the front of the lehenga, and the other end flowing behind like a sari’s open pallu. It is a simple yet chic way to create an entirely different outfit.

For the second look, she artfully draped the dupatta in an asymmetrical manner that covered the blouse, giving it a fun twist. You can opt for this style if you’re looking for something out of the box.

And for the third look–wait for it–Jain transformed the dupatta into a one-shoulder cape, utilising only two safety pins. These three dupatta draping styles are not just drop-dead gorgeous but can be easily copied.
