Here are some ethnic styles that will make you look perfect
Always have different kurti designs in your closet
Most kurti are loose fitting and complement almost any body type. Tight kurti tend to emphasise on your chunky areas, so I would suggest that you steer clear. Here are some few kurti designs that will accentuate your figure
A flared kurti
Flared kurti may be traditional attire but they are always trending. The structure is amazing; they are almost fitting in the upper body and waist and create a flare from the waist to the hemline. you can wear a flared kurti at your desired length. For a slimming effect, do not wear your kurti with any bottoms as it will make the flare heavier a make you appear wider. The flare of the kurti should not be too wide or too narrow.
Flared kurtis are suitable for any height, as long as the hemline fits you well. You can wear the perfect flared kurti from Stylecaret and some nice stilettos to any evening function, job and even cultural celebrations.
An asymmetrical Kurtis
Asymmetrical kurti comes in many shapes, designs and materials. The basic shape has a straight cut and undefined hemline. The collar of the kurti will depend on what you like. You may be familiar with asymmetrical designs like the high-low, tulip shape and ragged hemline. Kurtis made of silk, chiffon and linen are light and comfortable to wear not to mention they will make your figure appear slimmer. You can pear this kurti with stilettos for both casual and formal looks that you can rock to any event.
Have fun with your salwar suits
Dressing bottoms can be difficult and confusing when you have a full body type. With the salwar suits, make sure they are close fitting. Narrow salwar pants will accentuate your waistline and make your hips appear slimmer. Salwar trousers are stylish and can be worn with any type of tops. Because they are loose fitting, you have the freedom to wear buggy tops.
A salwar matches well with any loose fitting kurti for a more traditional look. If you want to appear even slimmer, ensure the hemline of the kurti doesn’t cover up much of your waist. T-shirts and salwar give you an indo western fusion look. This look is good for casual events and you can wear it with any casual shoes like sneakers and sandals.
Glamorous saree
The fabric and drape of the saree will determine your whole look. When you are attending a casual, cultural or religious event you want to look your level best in the saree. A heavy material will make you appear even heavier. Find a saree with classic materials such as silk, velvet, heavy chiffon and other natural blends
The up side of wearing such materials is that they will make you appear thinner while showing of your sense of style. Velvet, crepe, silk and satin will make you look sophisticated and elegant.
Before you pick out an outfit, look at these styling tricks
There are some basic rules when it comes to choosing out the perfect ethnic outfit that makes you look thinner.
Choose dark colored clothes over lighter ones
Dark colored clothes are known to create a sliming effect on anybody. How do they work? They hide your problematic areas through camouflage. They take away the focus from that area. Light clothes have the tendency of highlighting your whole body, especially when they are tight fitting. This does not mean that all your outfits should be dark colored, but you should always balance between the two colors.
Plain colors may work well to make you look more slimming when they have a good dark colored pattern. For instance, you can wear a nicely printed bright kurti shirt with some jeans and still get a slimming effect from the look.
Choose the right shoes
Picking the right footwear will help you achieve a slimmer look. The shoes you wear should complement you as well and the outfit you are wearing. For lehenga, anarkali and saree, wear perfect stiletto shoes that are not lower than 10cm. always pick shoes that are comfortable to balance your weight and keep your legs stress free.
If you are wearing any kurti style or pants you should try on some chunky shoes, they are comfortable and will complement your figure well. Sandals, doll shoes and pompoms are the perfect shoes for a casual outfit. Ensure they are well fitting because come designs may come off as oversize.
About the stripes
Diagonal stripes will do a lot when it comes to giving you a slim body. Stripes leading to your mid upper body will create a wrap around effect that guides the eye to make you appear thinner. Everybody has a different figure, so you should try between thick and thin stripes to find the perfect pattern that will give you a more slimming effect.
Vertical stripes can trick people minds into believing you are slim and tall. Avoid horizontal stripes as they will make you appear wider. Vertical stripes draw the eye in a vertical manner creating a height illusion. If you are wearing stripes, ensure the outfit fits perfectly. An outfit that is too tight or too loose will create an uneven or lumpy look that will make your outfit appear uneven.
Final word
These tips are very helpful when you have a social event coming up and you want to look your level best. A good outfit should accentuate your curves rather than exaggerate or hide them. When you are picking out an outfit, ensure it is the perfect color and fit perfectly for an eye catching look.
