The festive season is upon us, and it’s the perfect time to showcase your best ethnic attire. While lehengas and kurtas are the stars of the show, let’s not forget the ever-versatile dupatta, an essential accessory that can elevate your festive look. If you’re tired of draping it the same old way, worry not; we’ve got you covered.

Roshni Chopra, the actor-influencer known for her beauty and styling tips on social media, recently shared a unique draping technique to up your dupatta game. Inspired by her, we have curated some unique draping techniques for you. While the classic neck drape and head cover styles are timeless, here are five fresh and elegant ways to style your dupatta:

1) Belt it up at the waist: Create a sari-like vibe without the hassle of pleats. Let the dupatta cascade over your shoulder and cinch it with a belt around your waist, forming a graceful one-sided drape.

2) Cape style: Shift the dupatta to the back instead of keeping it in the front. Secure it over each shoulder with pins and let it flow like a cape. This style exudes an easy, breezy, and chic charm.

3) Jacket style: Drape the dupatta neatly over both shoulders, resembling a jacket. This showcases the embroidery and complements the outfit’s colors beautifully.

4) Bollywood look: Pleat your dupatta and pin it to your right shoulder. Allow the fabric to hang down in front, just below your knees. Then, bring the other end around to the front and wrap it around your wrist. You’ll instantly exude the aura of a Bollywood actress.

5) Corset trail: The corset trail is a modern twist on traditional draping. While ready-to-wear blouses in this style are available, you can recreate the look by simply draping your dupatta with your blouse or attaching it to the blouse’s shoulders.
