When it comes to Indian attire, you really cannot go wrong with a well-fitted lehenga in a royal colour; however, there are many ways to accentuate the beauty of your desi two-piece. I, for one, am absolutely dying to see ladies take their lehengas to the next level with some smart and sassy styling. As the end of the year rolls around and wedding season begins, try your hand at one of these ten tips to make your classic lehenga more fabulous and fashionable!
- Highlight your hips by adding a belly bauble to your ensemble. You can opt for a traditional and heavy kamarbandh or a light and single stranded belly chain. Either way, they look amazing!
- Switch up your regular jewellery for floral jewellery that is made from fresh flowers. I love this look – it is so different and totally stylish!
- Explore different ways to drape the dupatta of your To be honest, I have had enough of the traditional styles of draping – it is time to be more adventurous and really push the boundaries. Better yet, try two dupattas for some extra fun!
- If you are wearing your lehenga for a daytime function, why not wear it with a matching waistcoat instead of the dupatta? It is bound to put you in the spotlight but even better, it saves you from the hassle of managing your dupatta all the time!
- If you are feeling fierce and bold, skip the dupatta altogether and let the rest of your outfit do the talking!
- Think about your footwear. They might be covered for most of the part, but even the small glimpses of your feet can make a world of difference. Opt for good quality sandals that match either the colour of your outfit or the colour of the embroidery. Add some cute anklets to the mix as well!
- When it comes to a bag, stick to clutches. Bigger bags will detract from the beauty of your two-piece. Classy clutches in metallic tones are always the way to go.
- Instead of going all out with your earrings, think about styling your lehenga with a jazzy ear cuff instead. It is definitely less tedious on your ear lobes and makes a serious style statement!
- This is a great one for daytime affairs – throw out the shiny choli and wear your heavy skirt with a modern crop top instead.
- Sometimes, your hair and makeup can make more of a style statement than your accessories so spend time thinking about what you would like to do.
