From the bride to the bridesmaids, kids to friends – the first
thing that comes to our mind when we think of wedding shopping is the ‘lehenga’.
What started as traditional bridal wear has seen a dramatic transformation, and
thanks to designers, it still continues to be highly popular. You can transform
your look and mood just by draping a lehenga dupatta in a different way, and if
that’s not enough, you just have a million variants in lehengas – you can
never have too many of them! So today, I’ve created a lookbook with lehengas
for anyone who is looking for options on how to wear a lehenga. Let’s see what
they are!
1. Raw Silk Couture Lehenga
And Blouse
The couture versions have brought back the short choli with
lehenga skirt. Go with a heavily embroidered raw silk skirt, and a short saree
blouse kind of a choli. You can keep them both heavy, and go with a bare neck,
big earrings, and a maang tikka. If you are a little conscious, wear a flimsy
net or organza dupatta, and let it cover you from the neck to the belly.
2. Backless Lehenga
Choli
If you have not had a backless blouse for your saree or lehenga,
it means your traditional closet is still incomplete. Go all out with a plain
raw silk lehenga skirt, and a backless blouse with embellishments. Keep it
simple on the front. You can drape a plain saree style dupatta if you don’t
want to scandalize your family.
3. One Sided Floral
Couture Lehenga
As we discussed, we can never have too many lehengas, and thanks
to designers like Manish Malhotra who make any number of them feel inadequate.
A one side sleeve choli and floral combination is a perfect balance of
contemporary and traditional elements. It’s ideal for destination weddings or sangeet
parties.
4. Gold And Black
Lehenga For The Bride
When we say bride, we think of a red Sabyasachi-style lehenga,
which is great, but what about all the other functions that we have to be a
part of? Break the stereotype with a black sleeveless blouse, golden threaded
skirt, and choli. A contrast choker and earrings with smokey eyed makeup
will be a perfect combination.
5. Lehenga Choli For
The Bride
Lehenga for the bride is the epitome of all lehenga styles. If
you are a sucker for old-school traditions, go with a heavily embroidered red
lehenga and drape the dupatta like a saree, or go with a skirt and short
blouse, and put your dupatta over your head and look like a million bucks.
6. Anarkali Lehenga
How about mixing our all-time favorite Anarkali with the
timeless lehenga? How did we not think of this earlier? You could mix and match
a long, Anarkali style raw silk kurta with a plain lehenga skirt. Choose a
kurta that comes with a center or side slit so that it brings the look out
completely and does not look too consuming.
7. Crop Top Style
Blouse And Golden Tulle Lehenga Skirt
Designers like Manish Malhotra are endlessly innovating with the
lehenga and are spoiling us for choice. A crop top style noodle-strap-gold
blouse and a heavily embellished tulle skirt without a dupatta or accessories
are a great Sangeet look for the bride or her tribe. Put up your hair in a
chignon updo and let the dress do the talking.
8. Long Skirt Lehenga
Bottom And Contrast Blouse
If you are headed to a friend’s bridal party, or something less
casual, mix and match your lehenga to bring about a contemporary look. Pick one
of your plain long skirts, and pair it with a contrast-colored choli. Keep one
of them plain. Perfect lehenga style for millennials.
9. Princess Cut Choli
And Skirt
Marry the traditional green Banarasi long sleeved blouse with a
mellow pastel skirt and wear a chiffon or tulle dupatta over your head to look
like a bride who knows it all. Go for a nude or no-makeup style look and keep
everything else muted.
10. Off-Shoulder
Blouse And Threadwork Embroidered Tulle Skirt
If you are petite or short, or both – go with an off-shoulder
blouse. Since lehengas tend to look overpowering, petite women feel like it is
too consuming. Off-shoulder style blouse opens up your shoulders a little, and
a dreamy tulle skirt is entirely fitting for this look.
11. Pink Ghagra With
Butterfly Sleeves
When we say ghagra, we imagine something a little more
traditional – a red colored silk outfit that fully encompasses you in the
conventional element. You can keep all of that intact by experimenting with
milder colors and blouse patterns like this one to keep up with the
contemporary game.
12. Full Sleeves Plain
Choli With Raw Silk Skirt
Raw silk and tulle are lehenga staples, but the embroidery makes
a lot of difference to the outfit. So, the next time you are headed to Mehendi
or other bridal parties, go for a plain full sleeve choli for your floral or
printed raw silk skirt. Full sleeve blouses look impeccably stylish and wearing
this with a plain tulle dupatta is just going to take the look to the next
level.
13. Saree Style
Lehenga Draping
Combine the goodness of the lehenga with the traditional saree
style draping technique and have the best of both the worlds. If you don’t want
the fully wrapped saree style, just gather your dupatta into thin pleats and
wrap it just the way you would wrap a saree.
14. One Piece Anarkali
Style Full Blouse Lehenga
Most of the lehengas that we see today come with a cropped top
style choli, unlike the old times. If you still want to be that and combine it
with a modern touch, go for a choli that runs below your belly button and has
full sleeves, but with an illusion bodice and a full-blown embroidered skirt.
15. Purple Zardozi
Choli With A Backless Blouse
Are you the bride-to-be? Even better, the bride’s sister? You
are totally allowed to wear a backless choli. Go with a single color and fabric
for the entire outfit, but let them both steal the show. The perfectly pleated
lehenga skirt will be a perfect match for the oomph-oozing choli.
I wasn’t kidding when I said that we could never have too many
lehengas – and if you are smart enough, you will wear that one set (lehenga
skirt and choli) in more ways than one. It’s purely up to you. What is your
go-to lehenga style?
