Why 'chunri dupattas' will never go out of style

After Hareem Farooq bedazzled Instagram with the caption, we pick out some amazing styles with the traditional look

For most of us, chunri dupatta is one traditional garment that will never go out of style. Take Heer Maan Ja's Hareem Farooq for example, who was seen sporting one on Instagram recently.

Looking vivacious in a bright pink, yellow and blue ensemble, the starlet professed her love for chunri dupattas and her followers couldn't help but agree. "For me, chunri dupattas will never go out of fashion. Raise your hand if you agree," Hareem posted on Instagram recently.

Needless to say, I've got both my hands up. Let's take a look at some local Instagrammers who are seen proudly donning the traditional style in modern ways.

The Eid look

We think the chunri dupatta is a perfect choice for Eid functions, especially as a statement piece. It has long been a symbol of modesty and there are many styles of chunri varying from region to region.

The beauty is in the diversity; locals use different textures of silk cotton and chiffon in various lengths and styles according to where they belong.

You can rock the style with a plain white shalwar kameez and mehndi for true desi swag.

For the wedding season

We don't know about you but the colourful art of chunri dupattas can really spice up an otherwise plain outfit with the right amount of edge and tradition.

If you are attending a  few weddings this season, you could even pair a new dupatta to breathe new life into an outfit already worn before.  Wear a bright chunri with black for a gorgeous night time look that is sure to stand out from the crowd.

For a truly bespoke look, opt for an all chunri outfit.  We especially love pink, as it is the colour for the season. Check out this luxurious look to dazzle the night away.

Saree love

If you are looking for a different take to the traditional saree, why not use the chunri dupatta as one? Casual sarees are making a comeback anyway and the look can transcend from day to night and screams traditional elegance in all the right ways.
