Pick The Right Anarkali Suit For Your Body Type

Some garments never go out of style and one such Indian Ethnic wear which has come back with a bang and making huge splash in the fashion scene is the long flowing Anarkali Salwar kameez. Anarkali’s was introduced in India by the Mughal’s; they were worn by the courtesan’s of the erstwhile era and have been named after one such famous courtesan-Anarkali.

Anarkali’s can effortlessly make you look glamorous and more importantly help you camouflage the problem areas in a jiffy. However not every Anarkali suit flatters every body type. Check the guidelines below to pick the right Anarkali for you:

Anarkali for Tall Ladies


•    If you are a leggy lass, you’ve nothing to worry about; flared Anarkalis look great on tall and slender body types.

•    Select Anarkali salwar kameez woven in different fabrics like chiffon, georgette, cotton and crepe; with an accentuated empire waist line, this will work well for you.

Anarkali for Short and plump:

Ladies with such body type should have to be extra careful while wearing an anarkali. Too much flare can make short girls look wee bit like a tent if you don’t select the correct fabric and cut.

•    The long length and fitting along the waist gives a slimming look and makes it perfect for a body type which is on the heavier side.

•    Wear single and light colours. Kalis should start from the shoulder instead of waist and kalis should not be too many.

•    A-line Anarkali with short borders is what you should pick. This gives an illusion of height and hides all the flaws of the body.

•    Go easy on the flare pick suits which are moderately flared.

•    You could also try picking a kurta that ends above your knee.

•    If you want to look slimmer, avoid Organza or any stiff cloth.

•    For broad shouldered busty women, Chiffons and Georgettes are apt. it can give you a toned down long accentuating the right curves.

•    If your arms are tad heavy, opt for half or long sleeves.

•    Don’t forget to team them with a gorgeous pair of heels

Thin Ladies –

Select fabric which will add volume to your structure such as organza, cotton and select the ones with lots of kalis and flares.

End of the day ladies live by these famous sayings of a great designer-Giorgio Armani- "Accentuate your best features and disguise" what you are not so happy with. Choose outfits that fit and make you look comfortable rather than those that are up-to-the minute”
