Key Considerations for Choosing Indian Attire

However, it is important to know the criteria of the perfect Indian attire as this will make the shopping task much easier to cope with. To begin with, you should determine the occasion for which you want to buy the garment since it will affect other aspects of the choice such as fabric and style of the clothes.

Speaking of the fabric, the weather and place where the party will be held matter as well as the occasion. In case of outdoor or daytime party, the use of a light garment like chiffon or net will be the best option to stay comfortable during it, whereas for evening wedding reception, one should choose rich fabrics such as silk and velvet.

The next aspect is personal style and desired look whether it is sophisticated or spectacular and luxurious. Moreover, colors of the dress should also be considered and chosen based on their compatibility with one's complexion and atmosphere of the party.

Occasion and Cultural Appropriateness

Selection of the proper outfit for the occasion is one of the most crucial aspects of shopping Indian ethnic wear, and the collections of Agapi Clothing keep that in mind while designing the products.

In case of weddings on occasions like Haldi, Mehendi or reception, there is no harm done in going all out in terms of elaborate designs and embroidery, where you could opt for a heavily embroidered lehenga in Zari and mirror work, an embellished saree, or even a beautifully embroidered sharara/gharara suit. Every event within a wedding needs a different degree of formality and hence requires different types of clothing, and this should be planned event by event.

Coming to festive occasions like Diwali, Teej or Eid, you are free to play around with colors and designs as much as you want, as you would want a bright red silk saree, a heavy embroidered lehenga, or a brightly colored gharara suit in coral, emerald or mustard to celebrate the occasion. In case of more personalized functions like engagement, religious functions or even anniversary parties, you could rely on the beautiful woven saree or silk lehenga sets to do the job properly.

Body Type and Comfort

There are diverse options of ethnic wear which cater to all kinds of body types, and it is best to choose the silhouette which is most flattering to your body. A-Line and kali style lehengas work very well on all body shapes since they provide a good drape and a structured silhouette. Women with hourglass body types would be flattered with corset style lehenga cholis which enhance their natural curves.

Women with pear body shapes would look great in saree combinations worn with blouse styles with capes which provide a structured silhouette and balance the proportions. If you find traditional draping challenging, try our pre-draped sarees which give a perfect silhouette without any effort on your part, which is especially suitable for first-time users or women who are running late for the event.

Sharara and Gharara outfits with their flared bottoms make for the perfect choice to create balanced proportions for almost all body types.

Color and Fabric

Indian attire consists of an array of colors and fabrics that need to be matched in order to ensure you look your best. The lehenga and saree dresses in blue and lavender colors look very well on the cool undertone, while the dresses in mustard, coral, or gold color suit the warm undertone women. Also, jewel tones such as emerald, royal blue, and wine will be a great choice for all skin tones for all formal occasions.

What about the fabric? You can go with any fabric: net, chiffon, georgette, silk, velvet, or chinon; this is dependent on the event, the season, and how you want the outfit to flow. Light fabric is appropriate for day events or warm weather events, whereas heavy fabric is perfect for formal evenings, winter weddings, etc.

Sizing and Customization

Fit is as essential as the choice of style. All our collections come in sizes that range from XS to XXL. In addition to that, there is a size chart provided on all buying guides to assist in measuring yourself beforehand so that you do not order the wrong size. In case you have an issue with size, we suggest going for a larger size, particularly in styles such as lehengas and gharara sets.

If your order requires customization, which includes fit, material, and design, then Agapi Clothing can assist you. Just contact our styling team via WhatsApp by dialing +1 469 417 9861.
