How to Style a Lehenga Choli for Different Occasions

Every festive occasion calls for lehenga cholis. Whether you’re a bride or a bridesmaid, festivities seem to be incomplete without women wearing a lehenga choli. If you are torn between wearing a saree or a gown, get the best of both by turning up in a lehenga choli, giving your style a traditional touch. 

Lehenga cholis ooze glamour, and they are the best way to showcase your culture. If you don’t want to invest in a new pair this festive season, revamp your older pairs by wearing them in different styles to create a new look each time. If you have grown out of wearing your lehenga choli in the same old way, you can try out these amazing new styles:

1. Cowl neck style: This is a brand new style and we bet you will be the first one in your circle to pull off this style. If you are planning to attend winter festivities, drape your dupatta in a cowl neck style, which not only looks elegant but also protects you from the cold.
2. Draped overhead: If you want to go for a complete traditional look, you can drape the dupatta over your head and take one side at the front. If you want your hairdo to be seen, a sheer dupatta is best to work with. This style is best-suitable for brides.
3. One-side open drape: If you think dupattas are too much to handle, you can drape one over one shoulder and let it hang free. Secure it with a safety pin. This style allows maximum movement, and you don’t have to bother about the dupatta falling off again and again.
4. Pleated one-side drape: This is a fuss-free way to carry your dupatta. You can pleat it and wear it over your shoulder. You can secure the dupatta with a matching belt, which also creates a pretty silhouette.
5. Tie to wrist: Many women are pulling off this trend, which involves the dupatta being tied to the wrist. If you are planning on hitting the dance floor during the festivities, you can secure one corner of the dupatta onto your wrist so it doesn’t get caught in someone else’s footwear.
6. Half-saree drape: If you want a saree look with your lehenga cholis, this type of drape is an ideal one. Not just that, it is easy to pull, too! To do so, you need to tuck your dupatta in the front, pleat the rest of the fabric, and then wear it over your shoulder with the rest of the fabric hanging like a pallu.
7. Asymmetrical drape: Give a contemporary approach to your traditional style by draping the pleated central drape over the right shoulder and letting it free on the front end. The other back end is brought to the front before draping it in a cowl neck style. Get Disney princess vibes by rocking this draping style.
