With
the changing trends in Bollywood fashion, the anarkali fever is setting in.
From Mughal-e-azam to Dedh Ishqiya, anarkali suits have always been the ‘talk
of the town’ making them a must have in every girl’s wardrobe. However,
anarkali suits are becoming a lot trendier and these days floor length anarkali
is the latest rage. Silk and brocade is replaced by chiffon, net and georgette.
For the sheer variety that the internet offers, women have started to buy Anarkali suits online. This dress is the best
option for a pear shaped and apple shaped body, as it accentuates the waist and
flaunts one’s feminine side.
An Anarkali
Suit is a combination of a
long kurta and bottoms. The kurta is fitted on the bust and normally features
large pleats flowing around the legs like an umbrella.
Anarkali dresses owe their name to Anarkali, a famous courtesan
in the court of a great mughal emperor the story of Anarkali was immortalized
because of her affair with the emperor's son that ended in tragedy when
Anarkali was buried alive behind a wall
The styling of the dress has evolved over time, with trends
ranging from floor lengths to normal length ones that end below the knees.
It is indeed a classic item of clothing and apt for the festive and the wedding
season.
Anarkali for your body
type:
Tall: If you have thin legs, you have nothing to
worry about. Anarkalis look great on tall women. Tall women can
experiment with contrasting colours. An empire line or waist line works well
for tall girls too.
Petite: If you have a small built, choose an
anarkali style carefully. Avoid too much flare. Petite girls should pick
something with moderate flare as too much of it can drown you in the fabric.
You could also try picking a kurta that ends above your knee.
Slim: Slim girls are lucky, as most anarkali
styles work for them. You could either go for traditional or try something
contemporary.
Short: Short girls have to be extra careful while
wearing an anarkali as it can make you look stout if not worn correctly. Pick
an anarkali in a single color and go easy on the flare. An anarkali without too
many kalis is what you should pick. And don't forget a sexy pair of heels.
How to look perfect in the
Anarkali look:
Choose
a beautiful Anarkali suit to charm your way. Here is a simple guide for
you to follow to look ravishing in an anarkali.
Fabrics - Rich fabrics like georgette, chiffon,
net and viscose are used in anarkalis and are the best pick to add glamour to
your look. Chiffon and georgette gives a more classy and elegant look. The
kameez of this style is quite heavily embellished with embroideries like zari,
gotta, sequins, laces, beads, pearls etc.
Colors - Light and soft colors are the flavor of
the season. So the preferred colors would be cream, off white, ivory, baby
pink, sea green, turquoise blue and pastel shades. Besides that, when it comes
to anarkalis, bright colors work really well. So, if you feel uncomfortable in
simple soft colors, you can go for the bright, neon shades of orange, green,
blue, red and pink for a real upbeat look.
Accessories - Since anarkalis are heavy, go
minimalistic with the accessories. Beautiful heavy danglers and bracelets with
a bare neck can work wonders with the look. You can also go a little
avant-garde and don kundan jewelry.
