ULTIMATE FACTORS TO LOOK SLIM IN ETHNIC WEAR
The only thing that Indian women and girls can blindly rely on is Kurtis. Whether you wear it with a lehenga for an upcoming festival, with straight pants for the office, or with ripped denim for a fun outing, they will always be your spine bone. And there is no better way to stay at ease and style, thereby making Kurtis a must-have wardrobe essential in every Indian women’s closet.
Talking about the pandemic, no matter how much we deny it, but at some point or the other, all of us have yearned for those binge quarantine sacks, as that’s how most of our lives looked like. But now, as the festivals have arrived, there isn’t much we can do to reduce those extra kilos. But the safest option that we can do is try to style ourselves to make us appear slimmer.
This blog will help you understand all the ultimate factors that, when combined appropriately, will make you look slimmer, only if you want to. And as festivals are around the corner, what could be a better way to amp up your wedding quotient other than ethnic wear.
FABRIC
Fabric is the soul and core of any dress; it is the most vital aspect you need to keep in mind. You must completely avoid body-hugging fabrics which are stiff in nature, such as spandex, matte jersey, or heavily-starched cotton.
Fabrics like chiffon, georgette, silk, satin, and light-weight poly-cotton are perfect to choose as they will not cling to your body, and you can freely move.
COLOR
The next key factor that needs to be considered is colour. It plays a crucial role in whether you appear slim or plum. Darker hues will make you look lean and thin. If not black, look for shades close to black, blue, maroon, burgundy, purple, and brown.
LENGTH
Short Kurtis look cute, but when looking slimmer and taller, you need to switch towards long length kurtas. The length must go above the ankle or could be floor length.
PRINTS
Prints play a vital role in playing along with the overall look. Striped prints running vertically or ditsy prints distributed on a dark hue background will make you appear thinner. Incorporate these prints on fitted Kurtis with flared hemline where it ends till calf. This look will surely give you rounds of compliments.
SLEEVES
Always remember to abide by these few rules when it comes to sleeve length. Half, quarter, and full sleeves will help you appear sleek and lean. On the contrary, short sleeves or no-sleeves will make you look plump if you have a heavy upper torso.
ADD-ONS
Layering techniques will always save you from the last-minute embarrassment as these can be a bit arduous to execute. For instance, add a short Kurti jacket over a floor-length lehenga to elevate your fashion game by miles.
A long shrug, cape, jacket, or waist belt can be used as add-ons for layering up. Cigarette pants or fit and flare pants will be a game-changer for ladies with heavy bottom torsos.
EMBELLISHMENT
Who does not love intricate embellishments on their wedding dresses? And women adore heavy work on their outfits. But unfortunately, no matter how tempting they look, brocades and zari embedded outfits are the wrong choices for women who avoid looking bulky. And if you can’t resist embellishment, then look for Kurtis with minimal airy embellishment, running vertically down your length.
ACCESSORIES
Never underestimate the power of accessories. Many of us believe that accessories have zero involvement with how our body appears. Chunky bangles or bracelets for your slender wrist, tassel earrings to emphasize your long neck, and an exquisite choker for your collarbone- will help you look slimmer.
FOOTWEAR
Footwear falls into line when it comes to making your body appear slimmer. This is indirectly responsible for making you appear slimmer and taller. A few inches of heels will help you with longer legs.
