You must have seen me posting a lot of Indian wear posts
when it comes to fashion posts. That is because I really like the relaxed silhouettes
and fabrics. I personally love cottons and rich silks which is something you
will definitely get when it comes to Indian wear! Similarly there is this one
type of silhouette that I consider to be the most comfortable and versatile!
Indian Suits have so many variations these days but the one silhouette
that has stayed and shined always is the Anarkali Suit. It was majorly
introduced to Indian fashion after the movie, Mughal-e-azam. But the anarkali
suit saw a makeover, a practical one at that, some years back and since then it
has been a hot favourite! I am listing out a few reasons why I personally love
Anarkali suits so much and how you can incorporate this suit for every
occasion!
1. Comfort
Like always, this is the first
thing I consider when it comes to clothing! The anarkali suit is roomy, flow-y
and very comfortable when made of a light fabric. Always opt for linen and cotton
anarkali suits for a hot and humid day. Stay away from heavy embroidery; opt
for prints and light colors for day.  |
| opt for pastel shades /light shades |
 |
| Choose flowy and lightweight fabrics |
 |
| wear different prints |
2. You can wear it in so many ways!
You can wear it as a regular anarkali suit or you can try
wearing it in a few different ways! Wear
the anarkali kurta like a dress; cinch it at the waist using a belt. If your
anarkali is full length or ankle length, wear it as a gown.
Wear a top over your anarkali and let the flare of the anarkali
be the skirt. Wear a belt on your waist over the top. Wear it with a printed anarkali, I love the
prints of the Biba Anarkali suits and I can buy the Biba suits online easily!
Plus their sizes fit me perfectly!
You can also wear a short kalidar kurta/Anarkali kurta with
a long skirt! This looks very good and is extremely comfortable!
 |
| Wear it as a maxi dress |
 |
| Wear a sheer top on this and wear it with a belt |
 |
| Wear this with a red or black long skirt |
3. Versatile
I can wear a anarkali to office, a variation of it on a day
out with my girls, as a dress on a date and I can event wear a beautiful anarkali to a wedding or a
function that calls for me to dress up! With an anarkali I can always dress up or
dress down!
 |
| Wear it for a day function |
 |
| Wear it for night time wedding |
4. Looks good on every body type
The Anarkali suit does a great job at making every woman
look good, irrespective of her height or body type. But if you do want to keep
a few things in check then wear an anarkali with loads of “kali” or flare if
you are skinny , this would make an illusion of a little more weight. This also
does a great job at covering up those love handles and muffin top! That is why
I opt for an anarkali when I am feeling bloated!
 |
| Dress it up or down , as and how you like |
These are a few things that, according to me, makes the
Anarkali suit an evergreen silhouette for the curvy Indian women, plus you can
wear this on all occasion!
Do let me know your views in the comments sections on what
type of anarkali you like and how you like to wear it!
Loads of love,
