Dupattas: Decline in Popularity, Changing Fashion Trends

Dupattas: Decline in Popularity, Changing Fashion Trends

Dupattas, the long scarves worn with traditional Indian outfits, are becoming less popular.

Many women, who used to wear them regularly, now only wear them on special occasions like weddings or religious events.

Salespeople have noticed a significant drop in demand over the years.

This change is due to shifts in fashion, with people choosing clothes that don't require a dupatta.

Many modern outfits, like those with Nehru collars, remove the need for it.

Some older women still wear them as part of religious practice.
