The Wedding Season is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about your looks! To help you decide which outfit to wear to these happy celebrations, here are few tips for you
Dupatta: Pin it to Win it
Style your dupatta please according to your comfort and please make sure you pin it to your blouse and if necessary, to your lehenga skirt. This way, you’ll win the battle against the sliding dupatta and all the possibilities of tripping over will be reduced too. Haven’t we all been there? Also keep it subtle and you are ready to go.
Jewellery: Dont wear everything you own
Unless you’re the bride, of course! If your lehenga is heavily embroidered, opt for dainty jewelry that’s simple, not shouty. Weddings are not for showing off how much jewelry you have in your locker. Example, if wearing statement danglers, avoid wearing a necklace. If wearing a maang tikka, avoid wearing a heavy nose ring. Keep it real, simple and classy.
A big NO to One colour head to toe
You really shouldn’t match everything to the colour of your lehenga. That’s totally faux pas!! Keep your accessories or your footwear or your clutch, neutral. You can even colour-contrast your jewelry. Example, if you’re wearing a red lehenga, opt for jewelry with emeralds and footwear that has gold or beige tones.
Skin show: How much is too much
We all have, at some point, dreamt of a lehenga with ‘Kareena wala backless blouse’. Back, midriff or cleavage – choose one body part that you want to flaunt and keep the rest low-key. There’s a fine line between scandal and sanskaar, and apparently, its the cut on your blouse. Although, don’t wear a full-sleeved blouse with a high neck and a high-waisted lehenga either; it will be a disaster! The key is to balance your look.
Size Matters
It’s important to choose the right colour, the right fabric and the right length of the lining for your lehenga. Plus, that’s what is going to be touching your skin the most whether on your lehenga skirt or blouse. So if it’s not well stitched, the fabric is prickly, or the embellishments are poking you then you’re not going to be super comfy and the entire experience is not going to go down well. And we don’t want that, do we?
A saree can never wrong
While saree is the most flattering Indian wear option there is, there are some fabrics that help in accentuating the beauty of the nine yards. Raw silk and net are great fabrics to add some volume to your petite frame. For the curvy bride, fluid fabrics such as silk and georgette work wonders.
