Anarkali kurti - an ethnic ensemble that is dubbed as the undisputed crowned queen of all time. Anarkali kurtis have been here forever.

It is one of the most beautiful and stylish ethnic ensembles that requires very minimal to no accessories. All you have to do is get a splendid one and you are ready to rock the world.

So, it comes as no surprise that the anarkali kurta has caught the attention of fashion designers around the world.

Known to be a wardrobe staple since late 2012, Anarkali kurtis have spread far and wide, forming their own family tree. The stylish vibe of an Anarkali kurta have long been here, but it is only in recent times that it has been recognized by the fashionistas. Be it embellished or embroidered, an Anarkali kurta will always ensure that you stay in the limelight and glow in those selfies. No matter what the occasion is – summer, winter, wedding or even just a casual outing – anarkali kurta is the way to go. It’s guaranteed to make you the talk of the town, we assure you that!

An Anarkali kurta is a desi girl’s best friend and it can literally make her want to twirl. And why not? Considered to be one of the sophisticated ensembles, they can provide the maximum effect with just the right choice of colour. And of course, when you are in any doubt on what to wear for a particular occasion, an Anarkali kurta can always act as your style saviour.

All you need to do is to pick up one, add in a few accessories and you are good to go. Now, picking up the colour itself is not a problem; the real trick is how to style up an Anarkali kurti with very few accessories.

Okay, so, you may hate to admit it, but more often than not, we kind of overlook this part, don’t we? No matter what we wear, a right hairdo can top up our look. The same can be said for the Anarkali kurti. With just the right hairdo, an Anarkali kurti can add a dash of elegance and royalty to your overall look.

Leaving your hair open might seem like a good idea, but it is not definitely not suggested in the dusty Indian weather. Would you like to attend an occasion with dull and lacklustre hair? A big no-no. While some would like to prefer a hair stylist, you can, however, choose not to. You can opt to go for a fishtail braid, straight hair, and curls or loose waves. These hairstyles are guaranteed to keep you hassle-free throughout the day and you will look like a diva. That being said, you can also add in button clips or maang tikas for a chic yet diva look. The choice is up to you.

Raise your hand if you feel like carrying a dupatta is a cumbersome task. Yeah, we all have been there too. But hate it or love it, a dupatta adds to the elegance of an Anarkali kurti. But the point is the length of the dupatta. The length of the dupatta should complement the entire look of the Anarkali kurta. While a long dupatta will make the look messy, a short one will ruin the overall look of the Anarkali kurta.

So, make sure that the dupatta fits the length of the Anarkali kurti, and as we said before – it should complement the look. If by any chance, the Anarkali is heavily embroidered, you can try wearing the dupatta sideways so that the design shows. You also have the option of carrying the dupatta on your wrists by putting them behind your back. However, if you are not in the mood to carry that dupatta, here’s what you can do. You can take a chic stole instead and style it the same way as that of the dupatta. Trust us, it will have the same effect – and it will give the whole outfit a modern diva look.

Jhumkas are always the preferred choice to go along with Anarkali kurtis. Reason being that they complement the overall look. It is recommended that you should go for long jhumkas so that they give the impression of a long and slender neck. Either go for kundan-styled or diamond studded jhumkas. You also have the option of styling your hair in a messy bun or a side braid for a full view of your face and jhumkas.

Do you want to keep on tripping on your Anarkali kurti every now and then? So, you must have guessed it – high heels are a must. Wearing flats with an Anarkali kurti is a big no-no. It will make your legs look disproportionate. But then again, if you are not comfortable in wearing high heels, then, you can go for wedges for comfort and stylish look.

Most Anarkali kurtis are heavily embroidered, so, it makes sense to avoid a neckpiece. But if your Anarkali kurti comes with a deep neck, or it is a plain yoke one, then, you can add a neckpiece to both the styles to complete your look.
