Different Styles to drape a dupatta on Lehenga

There are few of the most common drape styles for lehenga -

The first style is to open the dupatta on both shoulders in front and let it fall naturally. This style is most suitable for occasions which involves very less activity by you.
The second style is to pleat a dupatta on one shoulder and taking it across back drape it on the opposite forearm. There are variations of this style in which you could open the dupatta pleats on the shoulder or on the arms or even wrap one corner of the dupatta around your wrist instead of draping it over the arm.
The third style and probably the most common is the saree style in which you tuck one corner of the dupatta at the lehenga waist, taking the rest of the dupatta around back bring it to the front and drape it over the shoulder. You could also open the dupatta pleats at the shoulder or even tie it in a knot for a lightweight dupatta.
The fourth style is an extension of the first style. For this pleat a dupatta on one shoulder and leave it open on the other shoulder. A plain dupatta if draped in this style might bring down the look of the lehenga and blouse embroidery. You could use this style if your dupatta has medium to heavy embroidery. You could either drape the dupatta higher at the neck or form a ‘V’ at the neckline with the use of safety-pins. If you have a simpler blouse- drape the dupatta in the second and third variations which cover the blouse giving the ensemble a heavier look.
The fifth and quickest dressy drape style is to open the dupatta on one shoulder, drape it across front and pleat the rest on the opposite forearm. Use this drape style for a more casual look to the outfit. You could also pleat a dupatta on both the shoulders and the forearm, like the second variation. If carried gracefully the third variation of carrying the dupatta open on the shoulders and the forearm looks good too.
The next style is the most basic in terms of styling- open the dupatta and carry it on one arm. It’s preferable if the dupatta has some embellishment- either all over the body or a border at least.
The next style of dupatta drape is to open the dupatta and drape it across the back and scrunch it at elbow. You could even the drape the dupatta a little lower on one shoulder. If your dupatta as a big motif in the center this is the best style to drape it in.
The other variation is to scrunch the dupatta at both elbows and this is suitable for dupattas with embroidery along the narrow edges.This style is comparatively new for a lehenga dupatta and we can call it the shawl drape. Similar to a regular shawl for this style drape one third of the dupatta in front and wrap around the rest of the dupatta throwing back the excess over the same shoulder.The basic version of this style is to tuck a corner of the dupatta at back waist and bring the dupatta around the front draping the rest in pleats over the shoulder. The side cowls that form looks very interesting. A variation of this style is to pleat a dupatta along one of the corner at the shoulder.
The use of belts is another way to refresh your drape style. Drape the dupatta on one shoulder and wear the belt either at the navel or on the lehenga waist. You could also drape the dupatta in the saree style and use the belt over it. A thin belt is best if you do not want to highlight the waist area yet tuck the dupatta in it.
