Chiffon
Chiffon dupattas make great additions to casual outfits daily wear during summer months as they are extremely lightweight. They are also translucent and rarely have any embroidery work due to the delicateness of the material.
Cotton
Cotton is a fabric that can be worn throughout the year as it is breathable, light and comfortable. Since the fibres are made from cellulose, dye prints and colour will be relatively permanent. Cotton dupattas can hence be used on casual wear or at the office.
Georgette
Georgette dupattas are heavier than chiffon dupattas and can be worn with more dressy suits. These dupattas are usually heavy and worn with simple designs as their opaqueness covers necklines and patterns.
Net
Net dupattas are lightweight but not as light as chiffon, which is why many net dupattas can be seen with gems and intricate embroidery. This material compliments both plain dresses and more dressy ones, and can be worn during the summer.
Silk
For a more vintage or royal look, silk dupattas are great options. They can be worn over simple outfits or more dressy ones as they often carry heavy embroideries. Like cotton, this natural fabric is very breathable and can be used throughout the year.
