Most Indian women have grown up trying to imitate the style and gestures of Bollywood divas who are often considered role models. You may even be stalking their Instagram accounts to get a glimpse of their personal lives and to see how they behave and how they dress up on various occasions like their birthdays, weddings, and of course vacations. We all are unique individuals with different personalities of our own. We all are blessed with beautiful structures, yet we yearn for those sexy curves that the bold and sassy Sushmita Sen and Kiara Advani possess. We can’t play around too much with nature, and neither can we change God’s ways but there are methods by which we can create the illusion of having a taller body even if we don’t have one. One such foolproof way is by wearing a long kurti which is a wardrobe staple for every Indian woman. It is something that will always have your back and make you look effortlessly stunning. Let us have a quick look at a few tips to look attractive and slim in long kurtis.
Choose The Right Fit
However beautiful or expensive your salwar kameez, Anarkali, or kurti, maybe, it is a waste if it doesn’t fit you well. An exquisite dress without a proper fit is no good. The fit of a garment can make or break your overall look. The right fit of clothes makes your best features look proportionate and even stand out. If you are not sure of what works best, you can choose to wear a long kurti that will enhance your silhouette. Oversized kurtis or loose kurtis can make you appear larger whereas a well-fitted straight kurti can make you look sleek and slender just as you would like to see yourself in the mirror.
Opt For Vertical Prints Or Patterns
Printed long kurtis paired with the right lowers look terrific on both formal and casual occasions but to look slim one should make sure to go for vertical prints or patterns that create an illusion of height. As a rule of thumb, if you want to look slim, the individual pattern of the print should not exceed the size of your clenched fist. Checks and horizontal lines should also be avoided. Geometric patterns and vertical lines are a great choice for long kurtis for women to look slimmer. You should stick to small motifs and embroidered patterns as large patterns make you look bulkier.
Use Monochromatic Or Dark Colors
Monochromatic outfits create a vertical line of appearance and complement your body. Dark colours like black, navy blue, purple, brown, or dark green kurtis will make you look a few kilograms lower than your actual weight. They help to hide any bumps or bulges that make you feel conscious. On the contrary, lighter shades like white and beige emphasize your contours and give the illusion of a larger frame. When you embrace a single colour, you minimize visual breaks, giving the illusion of a more slender figure. This orange long monochromatic outfit, for instance, works wonders in elongating your look.
Consider Flared Or A-Line Silhouettes
Indians have always had a soft corner for flared or A-line kurtis. They have been popular since ancient times, often adorned by the royal queens, and have now made their space in the closet of modern women. A-line kurtis and anarkali suits give the illusion of a slim waistline. One thing you need to take care of while wearing flared silhouettes is the choice of fabric. Fabrics like cotton, chiffon, and georgette are recommended instead of thicker fabrics like silk and chanderi that make you look heavier. Go for long georgette kurtis and pair them with heels that will make you look taller.
Highlight Your Best Features
It’s time to act smart and trick everyone by hiding your flaws and drawing attention to your best features. Intricate beautiful embroidery and tassels on necklines or sleeves of long kurtis give the illusion of a well-toned figure and make you look terrific. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and be a little creative with your outfits showcasing your best features through originality, confidence, and uniqueness. This chrome yellow kurti from KALKI is eye-catching and perfect to hide all the flab. We won’t be amazed if you are hooked on this kurti that is just so irresistible.
Use Fitted Bottoms
Wearing a long kurti that is well-fitted and apt for your body type is very important for you to look slim and elegant, but we cannot undermine the importance of well-fitted bottoms along with it. Ditch the baggy lowers that give an unflattering look and add unnecessary volume to your frame. Instead go for slim-fit silhouettes like leggings, churidars, straight palazzos, or slim pants which create the appearance of a slimmer waist. This unique navy blue kurti with fancy drape and cage motif embroidery will give you your dream look and also make you stand out from the crowd.
Invest In Good Quality Fabrics
You will never regret investing in good quality fabrics as the comfort and grandeur that they provide is unbeatable. Invest in high-quality fabrics that drape well and flatter the body and therefore should be your first choice. A well fitted outfit crafted from premium fabric can do wonders to enhance the silhouette. So, next time you are shopping for that chic ensemble, keep an eye on fabrics that breathe and move with you. Flowy fabrics like cotton, georgette, and chiffon are most suitable if you want to look hot and sizzling like the swoon-worthy Katrina Kaif!! No wonder cotton and georgette long kurtis are very sought after and sell like hotcakes.
Experiment With Layering
Change is the only constant in life and therefore experimenting with different styles, cuts or add-ons makes dressing up more interesting and lots of fun. You don’t have to stick to the mundane styles of long kurti to attain a slimming effect. Layering your long kurti with a jacket, shrug, or scarf can create an elongated silhouette, but make sure you choose jackets having thin and flattering fabrics. Also, the length of the jacket should be medium to long to conceal a heavy waistline. Adding layers defines your body and also does not give people a direct view of your body.
You can wrap it up with a sleek, contrasting thin scarf to give your long kurti a chic pop. Plus, it’s like your secret weapon to elegantly downplay a heavier bust. Why settle for ordinary when you are destined to be a fashion icon?
Pay Attention To Accessories
Wearing the right kind of accessories can be a game-changer in the way you look. Accessories like statement neckpieces, bandanas, sunglasses, watches, earrings, or belts steer the attention away from anything unflattering and make you look aesthetic. Long chain necklaces are a great way to prevent the neck from looking thicker. Similarly, women with round faces look gorgeous with medium-sized earrings. Make sure you don’t overdo the accessories to look stylish. Go by the rule less is more for a regal look. The lime green floral long kurti paired with a hat is a perfect combo to hit the sunny beaches of Goa!!!
Confidence Is Key
Get over the fact that plump women cannot look attractive. In fact, it is much easier to look delicate than you think even without becoming broke shopping for high-end clothes. All you have to do is embrace your body shape, dress up accordingly, and most importantly believe in the power of you to look incredibly majestic. Looking good not only depends on the attire you wear but also on your mindset. Well once you radiate that confidence while wearing the uber-chic long kurti nothing can stop you from ruling the roost.
