It’s always difficult to decide on your outfit when it comes to attending a formal event, be it a wedding, a reception or so on. The decision is always tough. One must also remember that it’s your overall look that matters and that includes just how you accessorize your outfit. Colours also play an important role when it comes to making a style statement so be careful when deciding on the colour combinations. While you may be wondering what to wear, we provide you with a list of options you can choose from to convey your style statement…

Sharara: The most obvious choice

A Sharara can never go out of vogue and one cannot deny the simple fact that it’s the most loved wedding wear choice for most brides. Most women opt for the colours of either red or crimson with heavy embellishments but one can dare to be slightly bold and choose an entirely different shade. Those who are attending a wedding should, therefore, chose a lighter shade and minimal embroidery so that your attire doesn’t clash with the bride. As per latest trend forecast, you can opt for a lehenga (long flowy skirt) with a short shirt with an elegant dupatta that will complete the look.

Short frocks with straight pants

Frocks are yet another option you can go for this season. While long frocks are no longer in fashion, short frocks always look great, especially in a desi wedding. Nothing looks better than a churidaar pajama when it comes to long frocks but straight pants look more elegant with shorter ones. Some of the colours that complement this look well include royal blue, emerald green and other similar hues.

Maxi: Never out of style

If you have run out of ideas, maxis are always a good option to consider since they look graceful if you are good at carrying it. They make for popular wedding wear. Women prefer them because they tend to have a sliming effect. A long flared maxi looks best but you need to make sure you are comfortable when moving around. After all, comfort comes first. One way to deal with it is to not opt for too much work and embroidery. While maxis look good in almost every colour, bright ones such as peach, light blue and yellow appeal to the eye a lot more.

Short shirts with straight pants

While short shirts with straight pants are more suitable for casual wear, you can go for this style even for weddings with some embellishment to make it look fancier. It’s not just easy to carry but also looks good and is hassle free. You can either go for a ready-made outfit or get it stitched if you have economical restraints and want to save some money. Moreover, you can also wear it at other functions aside from weddings.

Capes: A little fancy something

Capes have recently become the most talked about dress people are going ga-ga over because it’s a bit fancy and somewhat unique to other styles currently in vogue. They give you a break from the usual shararas, frocks and maxis. For a wedding, net cave with quarter sleeves look good. If you are thinking of getting one for a wedding, you can go for readymade options like hand woven, embellished, floral, printed, etc. Since they are super trendy these days, tailors will stitch one for you without creating too much ruckus.

Coat style dresses

Coat style dresses have become a major trend in 2016. Plus, sometimes you need a break from shirts, frocks and long dresses. On such a day, capes and coats can make an ordinary day extraordinary. Mix and match the dress and flaunt your style. Coat style is just an inner with a long coat with either flappers or straight pants. However, there are people who prefer tights, which is a personal choice.
