It takes some time before you learn the following secret about ethnic wear: You do not have to buy a new, fresh dress in order to look like someone else. In many cases, just a small add-on such as a piece of jewelry, a belt, or another drape can change a nice looking ethnic dress into an unforgettable one. Here at Agapi Clothing, we often witness this situation with our customers, and it's one of the easiest fashion tips to apply to your looks.
In case you want to find out how the same ethnic outfit can be festive one day and plain the next, here is the answer.
A belt or kamarbandh will dramatically reshape any ethnic outfit by adding some definition at the waist. When draped over the lehenga or gharara, it helps to give the entire outfit a more finished and festive look.
It is especially true for the outfits featuring the flowy silhouettes. For example, take a look at the Lavender Hand Work Gharara Set its flared gharara pants look fabulous even without accessories, but when adding a metallic or beaded belt at the waist, the outfit becomes more stylish and festive.
Every person puts on their dupatta in the same way draped across one shoulder. Yet, simply by draping the dupatta differently, the whole character of the outfit changes without having to buy a new piece.
Instead of the traditional way, try draping it across both shoulders for a more elegant effect or allowing it to hang loosely down the back for something modern and chic. A lavender-ready to wear saree is a perfect example of an item which looks beautiful in its basic design but which can easily be elevated to look more formal by changing the way you pin the pallu.
As people think, jewelry plays an important role in completing an outfit. Depending on what kind of jewelry, it can enhance the outfit or ruin it. For instance, a basic outfit can get an elegant touch from a beautiful necklace. As for an outfit which already has many details, the right choice will depend on the way you want to elevate it further.
In case of such outfit as the Solea Lemon Yellow Silk Lehenga Set with Mirror Work, where the outfit already has all the sparkles in form of mirror work, it will be better to choose a statement piece as a necklace or a pair of oxidized silver earrings. In this case, the detailing of the outfit becomes the focus of attention while the jewelry only accentuates it.
