Dupattas – The New Trend Every Fashion Lover Is Falling For

In the last few years, we have seen a remarkable shift in Indian fashion. Dupattas have gone from being just a part of an outfit to becoming the highlight of the entire look. Whether it is Banarasi, Bandhani, Patola, Kantha, Chikankari, Organza, or heavy handwork pieces, the demand for dupattas has grown beautifully.

It is refreshing to see this revival and the way women are celebrating this versatile piece of clothing.

From a Set Piece to the Star of the Outfit

There was a time when most women bought complete sets such as lehenga, choli and dupatta or salwar suit and chunari. Spending separately on an expensive dupatta was rare. But fashion has changed. Women today prefer to mix and match. They love creating unique combinations that express their personal style. A single dupatta can transform even the simplest outfit into something striking and elegant.

Why Dupattas Are Suddenly So Popular

A beautifully crafted dupatta has the power to elevate a look instantly. Some of the most popular combinations today include:

A plain silk lehenga paired with a heavy Banarasi dupatta.
A Lucknowi Chikankari lehenga styled with a Bandhani dupatta.
A minimal silk suit combined with a Patola or Organza dupatta.
Classic Anarkali suits paired with Bandhej, Banarasi, Kantha or Chikankari dupattas.

Every pairing feels fresh and thoughtfully put together, and that is exactly why women are embracing this trend.

Dupattas Worn With Sarees

Another new trend is styling dupattas with sarees. Many women now drape a heavy or embroidered dupatta over a silk or georgette saree for weddings and festive occasions. The contrast of colours, fabrics and textures creates a very regal effect.

A recent experience reminded me how versatile dupattas can be. One of my customers requested curated sets of sarees with matching dupattas. It took a lot of time to pair everything perfectly, but when I saw her excitement and how beautifully she styled them, it felt worth every minute.
