  • Front flow dupatta

This style is very simple and yet elegant and classy style of wearing the dupatta. This style is created by pleating the dupatta and pinning it at the left shoulder so that it falls behind you on your back until it reaches the knees to your knees. The part that hands at the front should reach the floor then folded again and paced on the forearm. This style of dupatta is very sensitive and needs a lot of attention since if you forget that it is on your hand then it will slip and fall and your dupatta and your dress may be messed up. This style of dupatta is not recommended for an actual marriage ceremony but it is perfect for the reception.

  • Double-sided style

This style of wearing dupattas is very interesting. It is a combination of the seedha and the ulta pallu look. This style requires you to tuck in the dupatta in the lehenga on the left side of the body from the middle of the abdomen. After tucking it in, wrap it around the hips and bring it to the front. At this point, you have to take the dupatta over the left shoulder and then wear it like you wear a sari. This whole process of wearing the dupatta takes long especially if you are not assisted. However, with constant practice, you can easily manage all the different styles of dupattas. After this whole process, you still need to bring the loose end of the dupatta from under your left arm and tuck it in the same place where you first tucked the first end.

  • The casual style

This style is suitable for gowns that have a heavily embroidered blouse because this draping style leaves the choli uncovered. In this style, one end of the dupattas is tucked on the left side of the waist. After tucking it in place then you loosen it a bit and then take the dupatta from behind the left arm bringing it over the head. In this style, you can also let the dupatta hang on the right shoulder. With this style you can still let the fabric flow freely on the front instead of leaving it loose at the back. On your front, you can wrap the end that is loose on your wrist and hold it like in the front flow dupattas. These are the most common styles but there are many more different styles of dupattas.
