Ditch the dupatta: five ways to restyle your old lehenga

A lehenga is a pretty, long skirt that people in India wear for parties and festivals.

Usually, a long scarf called a dupatta is worn with it.

This article says you do not always need a dupatta.

You can wear a fancy cape instead, like the one actor Khushi Kapoor wore.

A sparkly jacket can also take the dupatta's place.

A blouse with a flared bottom, called a peplum, looks fun with a lehenga in a matching colour.

A long tunic or waistcoat worn over the top is another easy idea.

Even a plain shirt tucked into an embroidered lehenga can look cool and modern.

These ideas help you make an old outfit feel new again.

Best of all, you might already have these clothes in your wardrobe and do not need to buy anything new.
