Re: Dupattaless culture

What always makes me smile (in amusement) is the manner in which some hosts and news reporters drape the dupatta on their heads. I don’t wear hijab…but even in the 80s and up until now…the dupatta sits far back on the head and much of the hair in the front is shown as that looks more aesthetically appealing…but it makes me think “kya faida?”

If the kurta is loose/baggy to the point where the figure is not defined ..and I have several such kurtas…then one can get away with no dupatta. And if you pay attention, the models models in practically ALL the Pakistani lawn commercials and adverts wear the kurtas very loose and it looks so graceful. For some strange reason many of the Desi women don’t emulate the models and instead wear their lawn kurtas very fitted…and it doesn’t look as appealing…especially if you’re on the curvier/pudgier/heavier end and …and it looks even worse if you’re not gonna wear a dupatta especially when guys are around. My cousins in pak wear their lawn fitted…or will get it fitted…thankfully they wear a dupatta. Dupatta has its own charm and grace…especially when draped across the shoulders and allowed to cover…and you’ll even find actresses (sonam kapoor etc ) portraying this look at times and it’s so graceful. I’m not a huge fan of the throw it over one shoulder look.

Kurta supposed to wear dheela dhalaa…
