Which Fabrics are the Latest Lehengas Being Made From and Which Ones Should You Choose?
Lehengas are truly a piece of clothing that has undergone so many changes in the past few years while still keeping its soul intact. There is so much experimentation being done on lehengas that the outcomes are truly astonishing. One of the major ways lehenga cholis have changed is usage of different kinds of fabric in its making. You can truly change the look of a lehenga by just changing the fabric it is made of. A lehenga, even a plain one with no design, can be transformed into a royal one by just making it in brocade or silk fabric. Raw silk or taffeta can add volume for a billowy skirt, satin can create a softer silhouette, even the right kind of cotton can make a delightfully pretty and light lehenga.
On the other hand, to keep costs low and yet have the trendiest outfit, synthetic silk and materials like net can achieve remarkable results. Fabrics used traditionally like brocade, though beautiful, can weigh the lehenga down, and if there is a lot of embellishment that further adds to the weight. You don't have to sacrifice one for the other and can easily get beautiful but lightweight lehengas if you wish, or heavy, highly embellished ones as well. Here are some of the fabrics with which the latest lehengas are being made of.
Silk
Any outfit made in silk, regardless of the style and the design, makes the outfit look very rich and traditional. A lehenga choli made with silk fabric will definitely give you a royal look. It looks very lavish and is a perfect choice of lehenga fabric for an Indian wedding. A highly embellished silk lehenga in red and cream colour will look perfect on a bride. Silk lehengas also come in various other colours and levels of embellishments. Therefore, if you choose to look a little simple but still very elegant, a silk lehenga with minimal embellishments will be your best friend.
Velvet
Velvet has been associated with royalty since ages. This fabric is lush and very sleek-looking. It generally is available in dark colours but the lighter colours are also available. Velvet is your go-to fabric for lehengas if you are attending an evening party or a reception. A dark coloured soft velvet lehenga with minimal but intricate detailing looks very flattering.

How to Choose Your Lehenga
Regardless of whether it is your own wedding or your best friend's wedding, if you choose to wear a lehenga, make sure you rock it too. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you in choosing your perfect lehenga--
According to Body Type
One of the most important things you should do before even going to shop for lehengas is to identify your body type. Some lehengas look very pretty on a person with a certain body shape, but if it is not your body shape as well, the lehenga won't suit you. It is important that you wear a lehenga which flatters your figure and which is made to enhance your figure rather than one which is made for some other body type. Therefore, always choose lehengas which are made to fit you and flatter you. Do proper research.
Colours That Compliment Your Skin
There are multiple colours in which lehengas come in. The colour of the lehenga also plays an important role in how you look. For example, you may wear a lehenga in pastel pink colour and feel that it is very dull looking. The same lehenga, in a bright yellow colour, could make you glow. This difference exists and colour plays a prominent role too. Therefore, go for colours which complement your skin perfectly and make you glow.
Daytime or Evening Wear
The time of the day when the event or the wedding is matters a lot more than you can imagine. You can wear a stunning lehenga and look dull if it is not worn at the proper time. A wine red, rich-looking velvet lehenga is perfect for a night wedding but it doesn't look as flattering during the day. Some lehengas come to life at night and some, during the day. Therefore, no matter how much you like a lehenga, the time when the lehenga will be worn should be a strict consideration before purchase.
Your Personal Tastes
There are many factors you can consider while choosing your lehenga and you might be doing all the right things but if there is no "you" in the lehenga, it is just not worth it. Choose a lehenga which speaks to you and you are assured to look fabulous in it. Wearing a lehenga which you like adds a lot of confidence in you. Be authentic to yourself and enjoy your lehenga experience to the fullest!
