From draping your dupatta as a shrug or cape to reusing the heavy blouse for a saree, here's how you can rewear your wedding lehenga on Karwa Chauth 2026.

1. Heavy Dupatta With Plain Suit

You can reuse the heavy dupatta of the lehenga with a plain and simple suit. This will give a contrasting look and to stand out more, choose a different colour. For example, you can pair the red dupatta with an ivory or mustard coloured suit.
