How to Choose the Best Lehenga Design?
Is your big day around the corner and you are at wit’s end deciding the perfect attire for your day? There a million lehengas available in the online market but how does a woman choose the right one. In this article, we provide you with suggestions on choosing the lehenga of your dreams.
Choose a Lehenga Design Based on Your Body Type
A crucial factor while selecting a lehenga design is to choose according to one’s body type. Every girl is blessed with a different body type and choosing a lehenga according to a woman’s body type will complement her figure and make her look elegant.
- Women blessed with an hourglass figure are spoilt for choice since the majority of the lehenga designs will complement their body type. You can choose fluidic fabrics such as georgette, chiffon, and velvet and opt for a short choli to accentuate your waist.
- Women blessed with a rectangular body type should choose a lehenga that adds volume. You can choose a lehenga skirt made of silk or net to add volume to your waist and choose a choli with plunging neckline to create an illusion of fullness.
- Women who are blessed with a pear-shaped body should stay away from body-hugging lehenga skirts and chose fluidic fabric to draw attention away from your waist. You can pair your lehenga skirt with a broad neckline or cold shoulder sleeves to accentuate your upper body.
- Women blessed with an apple shaped body can layer their lehenga skirts with sheer fabrics to add volume to their waist. They can wear full-sleeved jackets and wide necklines to accentuate their figure.
Choose a Lehenga Design Based on Occasion
Firstly, choosing the right fabric for your lehenga is of the utmost importance. If you are getting married or attending a festive occasion in summer or in the rainy season, it is apt to choose lehenga made out of light and airy fabric such as georgettes, chiffon or net fabrics. For autumn and winters, you can choose thick or heavy fabrics such as silk or velvet to complete your look. If the occasion is conducted during the day time, you can choose bright coloured fabrics that bring out the playfulness in you. Opt for bright colours such as yellow, oranges and reds to be the star attraction in any event. For nighttime events, you can choose to wear lehengas that are heavily embroidered or embellished to shine like a star. For formal events, you can choose lehengas with minimal designs or drape your lehenga dupatta as a saree to look sophisticated. For casual events, let your hair down and rock your lehenga with a shirt type choli.
Do and Don'ts while Choosing a Lehenga Design
Always draw up a budget before choosing a lehenga, this ensures that you don’t go overboard while shopping. Play with colours, you can choose to play around with contrasting colours such as dark pink lehenga skirt with a golden colour choli. Moreover, you can pair this lehenga with a pink dupatta with golden embroidery at the edges.
Stitch your lehenga to the correct height, excess length or short length will ruin the look of the skirt. If you’re a wearing a heavily embroidered lehenga, choose to wear minimal jewellery to avoid looking like a gold mine. Always do some research related to designers, fabrics, colours, and design beforehand while choosing a lehenga.
Plan your shopping and customization of your lehenga in advance, this leaves you with ample time for alterations and avoids last minute hassles. Always wear the right accessories such as jewellery, shoes, bangles, and hairstyle while wearing your lehenga, since these small details will make or break your look. If you are planning to order your lehenga online, check the credibility of the site and see the customer reviews. Furthermore, you can chat with the seller to know more about designs and check whether your lehenga can be customized based on your measurements.
