The humble dupatta, once an inseparable part of the salwar-suit has undergone a major overhaul to become one of the most sought after fashion apparel. Unlike its cousins- the scarf and the stole, the dupatta is longer which allows for several opportunities of tweaking. This makes the dupatta super-versatile. Ommyra, one of the leading designer boutiques in Kolkata has a really interesting collection of dupattas.

 

Multi-coloured fun

A multi-colured dupatta is a must have in every closet! It’s easily the most versatile clothing article that goes well with all types of suits, kurtis, and even tops. It aquires a special importance when it comes to fusion wear, because it brings out the graceful elegance of ethnic wear.

 

Duo- two colours

Patterned dupattas usually do not include more than two colours- so it requires a bit of co-ordination to get them contrasting well with the dress material. Patterned dupattas can be easily made into a stole if you like. Since, contrasts is their thing, it’s best to wear them with solid-coloured dress.

 

Zari work with a matching belt

Tired of adjusting your dupatta all the time? Ommyra designers have worked to create this unique design where the dupatta is always held in place using the traditional ‘patti’ or sash. Zari –embroidered in golden thread, this little fashion hack is sure to get heads turning in your direction.

 

Patterned fun

Printed patterns are the most widely available form of dupattas. They are versatile, especially when it comes to fusion wear. Check out this blue printed dupatta over mustard kurta-dhoti pants. A few tassels attached at the end notches up the glam game by several levels.

 

Cape-dupatta

Another innovative way to maintain the elegance of dupattas without the hassle of continuous adjustment is this cape-dupatta. The designers at Ommyra worked some magic to create this ensemble. It involves attaching the dupatta to the shoulder top. The ruffles of the dupatta along with the flared skirt serves to give a proper fusion look.
