2. Dupatta around Your Neck
This dupatta draping style is very simple and gives your lehenga a polished and youthful touch. You just have to wrap your long lavish dupatta around your neck so it does all the talking. It is more chicer than the traditional way of pinning your long dupatta to your blouse.
3. Lehenga With a Belt
Using a belt along with lehenga is a perfect fusion style. This way you will not only look unique from the rest of the crowd, but also your waist will look slimmer. This style is even coveted by many Bollywood celebs. After wearing your lehenga, you can simply wear your dupatta on one shoulder in the normal manner. Then you can pin the dupatta around your waist with the help of a belt. That means after wearing a belt, you can simply pass both the sides of your dupatta through it. Always choose shimmery belts as they complement the gorgeous attire.
4. Anarkali Suit and Lehenga Skirt
Anarkali suits are a lot less bridal than the gorgeous lehenga choli. If you have to go to a lavish family function you can pair up your anarkali suit and lehenga to create a mismatch outfit. You can choose your anarkali suit according to your lehenga skirt or vice versa. Then you can wear the choli over the attire. This way neither you will look over dressed or under dressed and all eyes would be on you. You can even stitch an anarkali suit out of your whole lehenga attire.
5. Lehenga and Saree Hybrid

6. Lehenga Blouse and Simple Skirt
Most of the time, people prefer to make heavy embroidered lehenga blouses. You can wear these blouses with simple plain silk or cotton skirts and ditch the default skirt that comes along with the ensemble, to get a new look. You can wear this attire to less important traditional parties.
7. Lehenga Skirt and Plain Blouse
If you have a heavily embroidered and fancy lehenga skirt, then you can pair it up with a simple blouse to have a less hyped but in the same time a gorgeous look. The blouse colour should stay in contrast to the colour of the skirt. You can use or not use the dupatta, according to your preference.
8. Double Dupatta Style
Double dupatta draping style became highly popular when fashionista Sonam Kapoor wore this style. First you have to choose two dupattas for your lehenga choli. One dupatta should match the colour of the lehenga and the other dupatta should be of a contrasting colour. Make sure both the dupatta designs do not out shadow each other. Drape the first dupatta across the shoulders and the second dupatta from the back of the other shoulder, with the end of the dupatta tucked inside your waist.
9. Front Draping Style
