If you are thinking of putting together a lovely ensemble, consider the mix and match techniques. With all the items in your closet, you can always create something new just by using some creativity. For instance, put together a unique outfit with a solid high-waist skirt and a floral blouse, and pair it with any old heavy worked dupatta. You can become the highlight of the evening while showing off your creativity. You can even add chunky earrings or minimal jewellery to go with it. You can consider using your off-shoulder top with the skirt or lehenga and ditch the dupatta, altogether.
Pair with Embroidered Blouse
Embroidery is considered as a folk art in India and it offers endless ways to make your lehenga stand out. Today, with the popularity of lehenga, the embroidered lehenga is used in many forms. Combine a plainly designed lehenga skirt with a bright embroidered blouse. It will be better if embroidered with golden thread as it will enhance the look. This style is sure to bring lots of attention to your outfit.
Style Your Dupatta
Dupatta is not just a part of the Indian attire, it is also used as the most essential accessory This versatile strip of cloth gives you various options to play around with while wearing a lehenga.

There are also the bandhej or Rajasthani dupattas which are famous across the country. The chiffon ones with traditional mirror work look rich and comfortable to wear due to its lightweight. You can also consider a velvet dupatta which is an ideal choice for winter wedding, but don't forget to use a lightweight lehenga with it to keep the balance.

Mistakes to Avoid While Wearing Lehenga
When you decide to buy a new lehenga you can just head to the market and buy one. But, if you want an exclusive one, then we can help you find the dress of your dreams even in low budget. The trick to buy the perfect dress is to choose the right design and colour, while avoiding some mistakes to get your dream lehenga.
No 'Matchy-Matchy' head to toe
There were some days when all the pieces of a lehenga were matched; red to red and white to white. Today it is considered as the biggest fashion error. It is a better idea to select a contrast lehenga (like pink with blue or beige with red). It is even better at you can mix and match with other sets, too.
Choose Right Lining Underneath
The most crucial, yet an often-neglected component of a lehenga set, is none other than the lining of the entire dress. The fabric and the colour of the lining both are equally important when you are buying a lehenga. If the fabric is opaque and not soft, it might be a hindrance with the fall of the dress, and if it is too itchy then it can also prick your legs. Other than that it is important to match the colour perfectly. A shade too dark or too light will make the slip show. If the colour is brighter than the lehenga itself, then it will surely wreck the look of it.
Avoid Anything Too Much
Balance is the word when you are buying a dress that is going to cover almost from your head to toe. Avoid using too much of one thing, as it might look hard. If you are picking a highly embroidered lehenga, go for a plain blouse. Too big motifs or patterns on all pieces of the set will make you appear larger than you are. Also, try to avoid loading yourself with heavy pieces of jewellery with an intricately embroidered lehenga unless you are the bride. Remember the quote, ‘less is more’.
