8 ways to sport a slimmer you in Indian Ethnic Wear!

Come October the whole country dives head first into the festive mood- The festive fever grips the country and everyone spins into a frenzy of celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja & Diwali with full gusto. Looking drop dead gorgeous during these months is an absolute necessity, so much so, that girls start planning their beauty regime months before. Our deepest desire is to look like the next Deepika Padukone with wash board abs and like we were born to wear swirling chaniya cholis! Sigh! What we wouldn’t give to drop few inches when we slip into our Indian Ethnic Wear. Don’t worry ladies you don’t have to gulp down ounces of karela juice to shed few inches. Today we have compiled a list of cheat sheets to give you a slimmer look instantly.

Go for Fish Tail lehengas
-Instead of voluminous swirling lehenga sarees opt for a straight of fish tail lehenga. It highlights your sensuous curves along with an illusion of long legs!

Empire Waist Anarkalis
-Thank the lord and the Mughals for Anarkalis! A great way to hide your tummy is to wear anarkalis with a fitted bodice ending just below the bust.

Black is the safest bet-Its official Ladies, Black will always and forever make you look slimmer and sharper! But always add a pop of colour through scarf, dupatta, purse, shoes, etc. Just don’t go in complete black top to toe.

Layer them easy: Camouflage your problem areas by layering your clothes effectively. Choose nice silhouettes, wear a mix of structured and fluid pieces and keep the accessories simple just don’t go OTT with layering.

Sport a jacket: A half-knee length embroidered jacket on your ethnic wear can hide away the heavy arms and drooping shoulders.

Go easy on embroidery: We love our extensive embroidery work but keep it minimal, delicate and with thin borders for that oomph factor.  Keep the gotas and borders small while choosing your lehenga or saree.

Vertical Stripes- Vertical stripes in one colour to add few inches to your height.

Say No to Puffy Sleeves: They might look utterly adorable on Rani Mukherjee but wearing puffy sleeves with designer sarees are a complete fashion disaster for women with broad shoulders. Stay as far as you can!

Take a hint from these few tips on how to dress sharp and look slimmer when you don Indian ethnic wear. Go right ahead and shop for the best and most of all don’t forget to have fun this festive season, and be proud of the body you are blessed with!
