Types of Dupattas You Should Try This Wedding Season

Fashion does not have to mean extravagance. Fashion can be simple yet look equally ethereal and beguiling to onlookers. To give them something to be in awe of when you decide to look your best.

Here are 5 must-have dupattas that will have you looking fabulous and ready to shine at any wedding.

#1 Velvet Dupatta 

Perfect for winter weddings, velvet dupattas offer a plush texture and warmth. 

But don’t let the soft touch fool you into thinking it is a feeble fabric; velvet might be soft, but it is equally sturdy and glamorous looking. 

Cosier than layered clothing, a velvet dupatta can elevate your outfit and make it look opulent and luxurious while keeping you warm during winter events. 

Look for a deep-coloured velvet dupatta and pair it with a lighter kurta set or lehenga choli. You can also add them to a saree look by draping them on the shoulder opposite the pallu to create a regal and classy look. 

#2 Gota Patti Dupatta

If your fashion closet is stocked up with gota patti dupattas, you are ready to slay the wedding look like a pro.

It features a specific style of embroidery that originated in Rajasthan. It mostly uses applique techniques to create intricate patterns with sparkling gold or silver zari and lace.

These dupattas look heavenly in pastel and lighter colours, especially when draped in a cascading manner to recreate the flowing-in-the-air scenes. Style it with a simple lehenga or a kurta set and let the dupatta steal the show.

#3 Pashmina Dupatta

Pashmina is a fabric generally made with premium wool. Hailing from Kashmir, this dupatta is warm and perfect for the colder months. They are luxuriously smooth and feel exquisite to the touch, which increases their appeal tenfold. 

They are attributed to all types of luxurious and regal feel owing to their touch and feel. 

A pashmina dupatta is the perfect addition to your attire when you wish to add a touch of razzle dazzle to your outfit but still keep it looking sophisticated and elegant. 

Drape it on your arm and allow it to fall naturally, or wrap it around your shoulder for the best warm effects. No matter how you wear it, a pashmina dupatta will make your wedding season look, feel both luxurious and timeless.
