Diwali is here, and that means it’s time to dress up like a patakha, ladies. There are various Indian traditional outfits for the girls out there to choose from, but a lehenga should be a must-have in any girl’s wardrobe. Depending on how you style it, a perfect lehenga can make you look prettier and younger than ever before.
There are a few ways you can style a lehenga and turn heads around you this Diwali. Let’s discuss a few of the ways you can style a lehenga –
- Full-sleeved blouse and lehenga: If you are looking for an elegant yet cute look, opt for a full-sleeved blouse with a deep neck or an open back, whatever floats your boat, and pair it with a long, floor-length embroidered lehenga and a dupatta if you want
- Velvet lehenga with off-shoulder blouse: This combo of lehenga and blouse gives off very rich vibes and is a perfect fit for a lit Diwali. The velvet lehenga is a bit stiff and heavy, so match it with an off-shoulder velvet blouse and layer it with a not-so heavy dupatta on one shoulder
- Lehenga suit: This is a bit of a desi outfit style, but it looks fantastic and elegant when worn.Simply take a plain lehenga and pair it with a waist-length kurti with 3-4th sleeves. You can add on a simple light dupatta and drape it on one shoulder and wear jottis for a more desi look.
- Jacket Lehenga: If you want to make a bold statement this Diwali, then go for a jacket or blazer, preferably waist-length, and wear a light weight lehenga with it. You can also wear a blouse and layer it with an open jacket or blazer.
- Peplum top and lehenga – A peplum top and lehenga duo screams elegance and chic, and we are here for it! You can match your lehenga to your peplum top or go for contrasting colors, such as a golden peplum top and a red lehenga.
- Lehenga saree: – Channel your inner Bollywood diva with a lehenga saree. This one’s very simple and quick to style, all you need is a blouse piece, a lehenga, and a dupatta, which you can tuck into your lehenga and drape over you like a saree.
