Colour as per skin tone

The Colour of your lehenga can completely change your entire look. Colour plays an important role in enhancing your skin tone. If chosen correctly, it can make you look gorgeous and vivacious. Hence, picking the right lehenga colour according to your skin tone is crucial.

1.      Fair

Fair skin tones have many advantages of choosing varied colours of clothing. If you have a fair skin tone, you can experiment with bright and bold colours such as Pink, Yellow, Emerald Green, Turquoise Blue (Firozi), and all shades of Red. Such colours can enhance your beauty and make you look livelier. Ditch colours like Dark Brown, Burnt Orange, etc.

Women with wheatish skin tone can also be experimental about colours. If you have a wheatish skin tone, you could try lighter shades of Peach, Light Gold, Warm Pink, Turquoise Blue (Firozi), Chili Red, etc. These colours can give an instant boost to your confidence. Avoid going for extremely pale and milky shades.

3.      Dusky/Dark

Many get attracted to dark and dusky skin tones. So if you have a dark skin tone, go for colours like Apple Red, Medium Red, and Indigo to be the center of attraction. Avoid getting bright colours, such as neon shades, as they might clash with the undertones of your skin.

 

Colour as per the timing of the event

1.      Daytime Event

Look stunning in lighter colours that look youthful under natural light during daytime. Choose pastel colours like light yellows, light blues, pinks, or peaches as the major hues in your lehenga or you can pair multiple bright light shades for a more vibrant look.

2.      Evening Event

Look rich and luxurious under artificial lighting after the sunset hours. Deep reds, greens, and royal blues are the best colours for evening or night functions. Lehengas in these colours are head-turners and sophisticated.

2.      Puja

If you are attending a puja or an event that calls for a modest dress code then go for muted shades of beige, peach, or pink. If you want to add an elegant and festive touch to the lehenga, go for hints of gold in the outfit in embroidery or embellishments at the border.

Colour Combinations

When it comes to mixing different colours in your outfit, the options are truly infinite. You can go for safe and elegant with a monochromatic dress or can create a contrast between the lehenga and the blouse. Another alternative is to choose the same colour for the lehenga and blouse but with a dupatta in a contrasting shade. You can also choose a multi-coloured lehenga and go for one of the shades from the lehenga for the blouse and the dupatta.

Selecting the right fabric

Just like the abundant colours, you will be confused by endless fabric options for your lehenga. Consider the following factors while selecting the right fabric for your lehenga:

Fabric for a summer wedding

Light fabrics, such as chiffon or georgette, are ideal for weddings in the warmer months or even a dessert-like wedding location. Throughout the ceremony, each of these fabrics will keep you cool and comfortable. The best thing about chiffon and Georgette is that they flatter women of all shapes and sizes. If you have a curvy figure, go for intricate work, and if you have a petite frame, go for larger-sized embroidery on the lehenga.

Fabric for a monsoon wedding

Are you planning a monsoon wedding? Heavy fabrics, such as brocade, velvet, and silk, should be avoided because of their weight. Instead, choose lighter fabrics such as crepe, net, georgette, and chiffon. In addition, for this season, choose minimal embroidery and rich lacework. Explore options such as heavy bridal blouses paired with lighter lehengas to accentuate your look.

Fabric for a winter wedding

When it comes to lehenga fabric, silk and velvet are always a safe bet for a winter wedding. Both of these fabrics drape beautifully and add a royal touch to the ensemble. Furthermore, because they are thick, they work well when it is slightly chilly outside. The best thing about these fabrics is that the nature of the material itself is rich, so they look good even with minimal work. For your wedding, choose colours like maroon, deep red, and green.

When selecting lehenga fabric, you should be aware of whether or not your skin is allergic to any type of clothing material. If so, keep the odds in your favour by sticking to organic silk or cotton fabrics. Also, avoid low-quality lace and net, which can irritate the skin if worn for an extended period of time.

Finally, before settling on a lehenga fabric, try on a few different options. Get a sense of the quality, weight, and movement. This will assist you in narrowing your search and selecting the one with which you are most comfortable. After all, it’s all about turning heads. Go through the above checklist to get the most beautiful and comfortable lehenga for you.
