Choosing a lehenga is an exciting experience, but with so many beautiful options, it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. The key to finding a lehenga you’ll absolutely love is understanding what styles best complement your unique body shape. When you find the right silhouette, you’ll not only look stunning but also feel incredibly confident and comfortable.
This guide is designed to help you navigate our collection and find the lehenga that's perfect for you.
1. For the Pear-Shaped Body: A-Line & Flared Lehengas
If your hips are wider than your shoulders and bust, you have a pear-shaped body. The goal here is to balance your silhouette by drawing attention to your upper body while gracefully skimming over your lower half.
-
Your Go-To Lehenga Skirt: An A-line lehenga is your best friend. It is fitted at the waist and flares out gently to the hem, which beautifully flows over your hips without adding bulk. A lightly flared or circular lehenga also works wonderfully.
-
Blouse & Styling: Opt for blouses with intricate work, embellishments, or bold necklines like a boat neck or a high collar. This will draw the eye upwards and create a harmonious balance.
2. For the Apple-Shaped Body: High-Waisted & Peplum Styles
An apple-shaped body typically carries more weight around the midsection, with a less-defined waist and slimmer legs. The perfect lehenga for you will create the illusion of a more defined waistline.
-
Your Go-To Lehenga Skirt: High-waisted lehengas are a dream for this body type. They cinch in at the narrowest part of your torso, creating a flattering, elongated silhouette. An A-line skirt in a soft, flowing fabric like georgette or chiffon will drape beautifully and not cling to your midriff.
-
Blouse & Styling: Consider blouses that extend slightly past your natural waist, such as peplum blouses or longer, straight-cut cholis. These styles create a streamlined look. Avoid heavy embroidery or belts directly on your midriff.
3. For the Hourglass-Shaped Body: Mermaid & Fitted Lehengas
If your bust and hips are balanced with a well-defined, narrow waist, you have an hourglass figure. This body type can pull off a wide range of styles, but those that accentuate your natural curves will look most stunning.
-
Your Go-To Lehenga Skirt: A mermaid-style or fish-cut lehenga will hug your curves and flare out dramatically at the bottom, highlighting your balanced proportions. A classic flared lehenga with a fitted choli will also look incredible.
-
Blouse & Styling: You can choose almost any blouse style you like, from fitted corsets to chic halters. Don't be afraid to experiment with different necklines and backless designs to show off your silhouette.
4. For the Rectangle-Shaped Body: Ruffles, Layers, and Volume
A rectangle-shaped body is characterized by a straight frame with a balanced bust, waist, and hips. The key to styling for this body type is to add volume and create the illusion of curves.
-
Your Go-To Lehenga Skirt: Look for lehengas with lots of volume and texture. Circular lehengas with plenty of pleats, and tiered or ruffled lehengas are perfect for adding a more curvaceous silhouette.
-
Blouse & Styling: A peplum blouse or a blouse with an embellished belt can help define your waist. You can also opt for blouses with padded shoulders, intricate sleeves, or deep necklines to create more dimension and draw the eye.
A Note on Fabric and Color
Remember, fabric and color can also make a huge difference. Lighter, more voluminous fabrics like organza and net add bulk, while fabrics like raw silk and crepe offer a smoother drape. Darker colors tend to be more slimming, while lighter or brighter shades can add a playful feel.
No matter your body type, the most important thing is that you feel beautiful and comfortable in what you're wearing. We're here to help you find that perfect piece!
