Dupatta Styling Ideas for Bollywood Salwar Kameez

1. 10 DUPATTA STYLING IDEAS TO TRY WITH YOUR BOLLYWOOD SALWAR KAMEEZ

2. Are you planning to wear a Bollywood salwar kameez to your next kitty party? Want to look like a style maven in front of all your friends? Consider wearing your dupatta in a new and imaginative way. Most people ignore or forget that a dupatta can actually enhance the look of your salwar suit. You no longer have to drape it across the top half of your body. Try one of the following ten dupatta styling ideas to glam up your Bollywood salwar kameez:

3. 1. DRAPE AROUND This draping style will not only make you look stylish but keep you warm as well. It works best with a very long linen or cotton dupatta. Simply take one end and wrap it over one shoulder past your neck and off the shoulder and bring it around back to the first shoulder. The other end of the dupatta will hang loosely on the other shoulder.

4. 2. ELBOW STYLE Want to feel like a queen? Try this style. We’ve all done this when we played ‘maharani’ during our childhood days. Bring both ends of your dupatta from behind your body, over both forearms or elbows. The ends of your dupatta should be falling down in front of you from each arm. This is a signature style with lehengas.

5. 3. ONE ARM This works very well with a sheer dupatta that also has lots of stone and embellishments. Toss one half of the dupatta over your left shoulder and bring the remaining half across your chest and over your raised right arm. Here the dupatta will loosely fall over your right arm.

6. 4. HIGH NECK This is a typical Punjabi draping style. It works very well with short kameez and salwar. Simply rest the dupatta across the base of your neck and let the dupatta fall behind you. This is not a new style but an old favourite.

7. 5. TWO SIDED This is a style loved by most moms and for some of us who want to camouflage our arms. It works well with sleeveless salwars. Start by pinning one end of the dupatta on your left shoulder and carefully pleating and folding the dupatta down and across your top half then bringing it over your right shoulder. Once over the right shoulder, wrap it around and bring it back over your left arm.

8. 6. ONE SHOULDER ONE ARM As the name suggests, take your dupatta and place half of it on the right shoulder. Bring the front half over your right arm. Hence, one shoulder, one arm! This draping style is quite effective with floor length dresses as well.

9. 7. FULL OPEN This style pays homage to the draping style of the 60s and 70s. Just take your dupatta and spread it across your chest and over your shoulders. This is effective if you have a plain salwar kameez and heavily embroidered or embellished dupatta.

10. 8. SAREE STYLE This is where the saree meets the salwar. Take one end of your dupatta, pleat it and place it over your left shoulder (don’t forget it to pin it in place). Take the remaining end and wrap it around your body and bring it back up from the left side and tuck it in to your waist.

11. 9. PLEAT IT UP Another traditional way of wearing your dupatta with your salwar kameez is pleating the entire dupatta and placing one half over and behind the left shoulder while the other half falls in front.

12. 10. CAPE STYLE Everyone loves capes and they look great with your salwar kameez too. Take your dupatta and wrap it behind your kameez. This style is excellent if there is a lot of detailing on your kameez. To shop for beautiful Bollywood salwar kameez, visit Indian Wedding Saree.
