Lehengas with Jackets are Dominating the Festive Wear Fashion Scene. Here's What You Need to Know to Rock This Look and 10 Lehenga Jacket Designs to Do it With (2019)

A popular Indian traditional attire, the lehenga is a long skirt that falls around the ankles. The skirt is often pleated and embroidered for ceremonial or formal occasions such as a wedding. The lehenga hangs from the waist leaving the lower back and midriff bare. It is therefore normally paired with a blouse (also known as choli) and a drape (otherwise known as dupatta).

Lehenga choli is a three-part dress with a blouse, lower skirt like costume as well as a long cloth or a drape named ‘Choli’ which is draped from the waist till the shoulder. A Choli is usually worn along with the Lehenga and hence the normally used name of the outfit, Lehenga Choli. It is also called Ghaghra Choli in some parts of India. There are varieties of lehenga blouse designs that can go well with the designer lehenga choli available in the market. You will be getting the lower part as well as choli of the free size, but the blouse piece will be provided with the rest of the costume which you need to get stitched through a tailor according to your design specifications.

A Lehenga Saree is a variation of the traditional style Saree. Unlike a Saree, the Lehenga Saree is simply tucked in and worn over the blouse (or choli), avoiding the pleating that is usual with a Saree. The Lehenga Saree has become fashionable in India in recent times with fashion designers showcasing them on the ramp.

There are varieties of lehenga Jacket/blouse designs which can go well with the designer lehenga choli available in the market. The Jacket/blouse piece will be provided and needs to be stitched with a tailor according to the desired pattern and specifications. Here are some of the latest trends ruling the market:

A fitting or loose full sleeved lehenga jacket with some embroidery or zari work on the sleeves will look elegant for any occasion. A back zip can also accentuate the look of the jacket. It gives a formal, as well as, elegant look on a bride or on a bestie of the bride. It can be heavily embroidered or left simple depending on if you are a bride or a bestie.

The boat neck is the new cool! It can be worn as a sleeveless jacket, with cap sleeves, coat sleeves, three-quarter sleeves or with full sleeves. It can also be a simple boat necked jacket in the front and the back with a fish panel or embroidery, or stonework according to one’s imagination.

A gorgeous Blazer patterned short or long jacket can be the perfect blend highlighting the Indo-western fusion. It can be a jacket which has the full look of a short jacket clasped at the middle or a long one that hangs low with the clasp at the top and the midriff bare.

Who doesn’t like lace, especially if the objective is to look and feel young!!! This simple, yet, bold design is a preferred choice for teens and young ladies. It gives the jacket the illusion of a perfect fit too!

A designer touch is achieved when the blouse is given a curvy design from one end to the other. The lehenga saree blouse designs can be made of georgette material which can be medium in length. A singular sleeve decorated with stones and the blouse also gives a curvy shape at the end giving a flowing look to the designer saree and straight cut lehenga. When you wear this, you truly feel like a diva!

Silk can be used to give a magical touch to off-shoulder lehenga blouse designs. The design is widely carried by broad shoulder ladies to give a blunt look to their neck and back. This could be your choice if you are ready to carry yourselves stylishly. For eg:- A traditional age-old chikankari work lehenga can be combined with an off-shoulder style blouse with ruffled sleeves to make it quite an interesting outfit. It's perfect for parties.

Since the lehenga choli draws a lot of attention to the “choli“ or the blouse, finding the right jacket pattern helps to highlight the whole ensemble, making it either look grand for a wedding as a bride or as a simple outfit that can be equally stunning.
