Yes, more and more people are switching over to capes instead of the dupatta – and why shouldn’t they? It’s almost like a dupatta but stitched at the shoulder, so once it’s put on, you can walk around carefree. You can team this up with your anarkalis, lehengas or even shararas. Go for a sheer one if you want to show off the bodice a bit more!

2. Try Different Necklines And Silhouettes

Experiment with different styles of necklines and bodice where you don’t really need to carry a dupatta. Take some inspiration from these celebs and get that look. A high Chinese collar always looks elegant and you don’t need that dupatta! Try cuts that flatter you but keep them a bit more contemporary!

3. Put On A Short Jacket
