1. 5 Hatke Outfits For The Next Wedding You Are Attending!

2. With wedding announcement, comes the panic and endless planning for what to wear, how to wear
and when to wear what! Because, it is not just one occasion; there are just too many to worry about.
In case you are part of the family of the bride or the groom, or even a close friend, you have plenty
of other responsibilities to take care of, leaving you with little to no time for yourself. There are
other headaches too. Even if it’s a wedding you have been waiting for really really long and cannot
settle for a look anything less than perfect, you have to ensure that you do not overshadow the
bride.

4. MCL brings to you a list of ideas you could experiment with for the head-turning outfits this wedding
season.

5. LEHENGA WITH A TWIST
Aren’t you bored of wearing crop tops and blouse with lehengas? Meet Version 2.0 of the regular
ones, the cape lehengas and the jacket lehengas. Replace your choli or crop top with a short,
embellished jacket or skip the dupatta and wear a long-slit, full-length jacket. Additionally, a perfect
fusion of the two would be a stylish cape-jacket!

7. You could opt for contrasting yet coordinated colours when choosing for a cape or a jacket. A cape
with mirror work detailing works perfectly well with a solid colour lehenga and will help you grab all
the attention you want! The cape further can be designed into numerous styles, say off-shoulder,
one with circular frills, short-length or long-length capes. Avoid heavy jewellery and you’re good to
go!

8. THE DESI PANT- DHOTI PANTS
Possibly one of the coolest trends that have emerged from the traditional dhotis, the dhoti pants
once associated only with men, have broken through gender stereotypes and entered the female
wardrobe effortlessly. Enjoying its ultimate journey from tradition to innovation, they are the
perfect combination of style and comfort, and can make you look trendy and edgy at the same time.
These are the perfect fuss free outfits to ensure that all your focus is on dancing your heart out in
the sangeet!

10. SHARARA SHARARA!
A sharara is a pair of loose, flared, and wide legged pants, generally giving an illusion of a lehenga
worn with a kameez or a long or short kurta paired with a ghoonghat or a dupatta. And if you have
been wondering how to glam up your ethnic look this season, why not experiment with this look!
Usually finely embellished with zari, stone-work, sequins and beads, shararas give you a chic yet
ethnic look, amidst options like silk, brocade, zari or velvet, along with zardozi & stone
embellishments. So, go for your royal look and rock it!

12. JACKET WITH CIGARETTE PANTS
Cigarette pants have become a must-have this season! With the classic and flattering shape they
come in, they can be literally paired up with anything and accessorised as much as you want. But
when it comes to a wedding, the perfect companion of it, is a jacket! Now, when it comes to jackets,
you have umpteen choices! How about an opulent royal blue jacket paired with a cigarette pant of
the same colour? Whatever your style is, cigarette pants will suit you well.

13. CHAUGOSHIA
The outfit Rekha wore at Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja’s wedding reception made headlines like
never before and created a buzz. The legendary actress, opted for a slightly hatke look at a recent
wedding and for all those people out there calling it a ''pant-sari', it’s called a “Chaugoshia”, a
sartorial style easily over 150 years old! It comprises chau or four garments - a choli (tight blouse), a
kurti (loose tunic) a tight pajama (pants) and a five-meter khada dupatta that’s draped in a special
way. The chaugoshia is the traditional garment for women in Nizam's Hyderabad, incredibly stylish
and is still worn by women on their ‘nikaah’ or wedding ceremonies. So why not opt for this regal
look at your best friend’s wedding?
