Back in the day
women used to wear dupattas as a symbol of modesty, but now it’s

a huge scarf type of thing that can be draped around you in a number
of ways. It can also hang freely from your shoulders, revealing the
gorgeous embroidery or print. There are as many types of dupattas as
there are sarees, but we’ve gathered 9 of the most beautiful ones
with styling tips on how to wear them. Enjoy!
