The other names for dupatta are chunn and chunni (sometimes shortened to 'unni' by many Gujaratis). Although traditionally the chunni was a garment that was always used to cover the woman's head, the modern use of the dupatta has definitely undergone a metamorphosis in current fashions. Today the dupatta is frequently draped over one shoulder, and even over just the arms. Another recent trend is the short dupatta often seen with kurtas and Indo-Western clothing. Essentially, the dupatta is often treated as an accessory in current urban fashion. Nevertheless, the dupatta remains an integral part of Indian and Pakistani clothing.
