We’ve prepared a short and quick guide that will help you with the color styling of your dupattas. Also, we’ve curated a list of some unique and all-time color combinations for you to take some inspiration from!

So go get those heads turning!

Color Styling Tips

If your lehenga is of a single color including the first dupatta, then for your second dupatta,

  • either choose a matching color or,
  • a contrasting color 

If your ensemble is dual-toned (where blouse & lehenga are in same colors or blouse & first dupatta are in same colors or lehenga & first dupatta are in same colors), then your second dupatta

  • can be same as the second or the lesser color or,
  • can be of a third color

(the key here is to maintain the right color balance)

If your lehenga is multi-colored or the lehenga, blouse, and the first dupatta are in different colors, then your second dupatta

  • can match either your lehenga or blouse or the dupatta in the same color or,
  • can match your first dupatta in a different shade but, from the same color palette (e.g., green & mint green, pink & blush pink, lavender & lilac etc.)

If your primary dupatta is heavy, the opt for a lighter second dupatta for your ease and comfort. Try wearing the lighter dupatta on the head and draping the heavier one.
