Draping the Dupatta on a Sherwani Style Meets Tradition
The dupatta isn’t just an accessory—it’s a statement. When paired with a sherwani, it brings regality, sophistication, and a splash of flair to the groom’s ensemble.
Whether you’re walking down the aisle or attending a grand function, the way you drape your dupatta can instantly elevate your entire look.
Classic Over-the-Shoulder Drape
The most timeless style—let the dupatta fall straight over one shoulder and across the chest. This look is minimal, structured, and perfect if your sherwani has heavy embroidery you want to show off.
Perfect for: Traditional weddings and royal- themed outfits. Best dupatta fabric: Silk or brocade with subtle borders.
Â
Side-Tuck with Flow
Drape it over one shoulder and tuck the other end at your waist. This adds movement and elegance as you walk, without compromising comfort.
Perfect for: Mehendi or sangeet events where you need ease of movement. Best dupatta fabric: Georgette, chiffon, or cotton silk.
Â
Double Shoulder Drape
Place the dupatta over both shoulders equally, letting it hang evenly on both sides. It adds symmetry and a touch of grandeur.
Perfect for: Grooms who want a more majestic or princely look. Best dupatta fabric: Velvet or jacquard for a statement presence.
 Arm Loop Style
Drape over one shoulder and let the rest of the dupatta loop around your forearm like royalty.
Perfect for: Photoshoots and entrances—adds drama. Best dupatta fabric: Rich textured fabrics with embroidery or tassels.
Â
Crossover Drape
Start at one shoulder, cross it diagonally over your chest and pin it at the opposite side of the waist. Stylish and modern.
Perfect for: Fusion events or Indo-Western sherwanis. Best dupatta fabric: Organza or tissue with a light sheen.
