Styling Lehenga Cholis

Lehenga cholis are one of the most flattering Indian outfits for women, commonly seen at weddings, ceremonies and high-end parties. They are also very easy to wear and quite simple to style. Now that it is so easy to get different types of lehenga cholis by shopping online at customer-friendly online portals like Utsav Fashion, women can conveniently get a variety of glamorous lehenga looks for the festive or wedding season. With the addition of the right accessories and jewelry, the outfit can be personalized to create the right effect:

Jewelry

The choice of jewelry will depend on the occasion and the lehenga designs. For instance, a full Kundan set will be appropriate for a bride wearing a stone and sequins studded lehenga choli while the bridesmaids wearing designer lehengas can pick out elegant but under-stated pearl necklaces or diamond pendants.

In general, lehenga designs with stones, sequins, Kundan work, beads work and other heavy, glittering embellishments will match well with contemporary pearl and diamond jewelry or traditional Polki or Kundan jewelry. The more festive designer lehengas with colorful embroidery, mirror work and patch borders will look great with antique Indian necklaces, colorful bangles and large jhumka earrings.

Shoes

The long lehenga choli design is best enhanced with a pair of high heels or wedges. The ethnic factor can be brought in by purchasing heel sandals decorated with Indian motifs or regional karigari (hand embroidered work). The only exception is the ghagra choli, worn for Gujarati festivals like Navratri, which can be worn with colorful and intricately decorated Indian shoes like mojaris or jutis with no heels.

Bags

In general, large tote bags would look extremely inappropriate with lehenga cholis. The best option is to go for an embroidered clutch or brocade potli (Indian pouch with drawstrings) with patterns that match the lehenga designs.
