An Ultimate Guide to Pick the Right Anarkali Design for Your Body Type
Anarkali is a form of salwar kameez that is worn by women mostly from Middle East, Pakistan and India. It consists of a frock style long top paired with fitted bottoms and a dupatta (optional in some cases). The suit is fit on the bust part and then flows down, around the leg in the form of large pleats. Generally, the length of the suit ranges anywhere between mid-knee to floor length.
Anarkali is an evergreen piece of clothing and can be found in every woman’s wardrobe. If a woman says that she doesn’t own an Anarkali suit, she’s probably lying or doesn’t want you to see her collection. But to be very honest, there are various types of Anarkali suits that it becomes difficult to pick the perfect style which suits your body type.
Whatever be your shape, size and body type, at Beinstyl.com, you can find the perfect Anarkali that hugs your body like a glove.
To make things easier for you, we’ve curated a list of options that can suit your body type.
- Pear Shaped
Most Indian women are nothing less than curvy goddesses, because they’re blessed with a pear-shaped body, i.e., wider thighs and hips as compared to a smaller waist and shoulders. Floor length Anarkalis would be the perfect pick for this body type, as it would take the attention away from your lower body. Plunging V necklines or rich work around the neckline/waist would look great on you. Lighter shade Anarkali paired with a dark shade bottoms would also help balance your look.
- Apple Shaped
This body type is blessed with a lot of weight around the mid part of the body, with a heavy bust, round tummy and broad shoulders with smaller hips. Women with this body type should opt for darker shades with V necklines instead of strapless, off-shoulder or boat neck. Heavy detailing around the neckline should be avoided along with pockets or anything that bunches up the waistband. A-line kurti in cotton and silk should be your first preference.
- Hourglass Shaped
Count yourself lucky if you’ve this shape! Women with this body type are said to strike a perfect balance between their upper body and lower body, i.e., bust and hip about the same size with a defined waistline. The best part about this body type is that any and all styles of Anarkali will suit you. Whether it’s high neck or empire waist, you can flaunt any style with panache. You can skip the dupatta and flaunt your curves in a well-fitted floor length gown. Just be mindful of not wearing suits with heavy fabrics as they’ll add extra volume to your already curvy figure.
- Rectangle/Straight Shaped
Women with this body type have a long torso, well-defined arms and a toned stomach along with straight shoulders. Athletic figure women have the rectangle shaped body. Just like an hourglass shaped woman, you can flaunt most of the Anarkali styles with ease but the best picks for you would be a jacket style long Anarkali suit or a frock layered Anarkali. Suits with extra flares will add volume to your straight frame and create an illusion of curves and a defined waist. It’s preferable to choose wide and deep neckline for your suit.
It can be safely said that Anarkali suits are never going out of fashion and are desired by women irrespective of their body type. Which is why, don’t let the fear of looking older or bigger stop you from buying that suit you love with all your heart.
