What to Look For When Scouting Designer Anarkali Suits

November 8, 2017 · Fashion, Womenswear



Gone are the days when choices were few for anarkali suits and buyers were fewer.

Now there are numerous variations of anarkali suits out there. These suits have a long and a frock styled top matched with a slim fit bottom.

What Are Anarkali Suits?

It’s considered to be a highly elegant form of dressing for Indian women. It may have been a trend that you’ve wanted to explore in the past, but may have been reluctant to it. They’ve definitely become more mainstream thanks to the gorgeous Indian actresses adorning them.

So let’s see what you should keep in mind when scouting anarkalis.

Why Go For Them?

Several reasons may steer you in the direction of anarkali suits:

  • Perfect blend of traditional and fashion wear
  • Very comfortable and stylish for almost any occasion
  • Available in numerous designs, colours, fabrics, patterns
  • Makes you stand out in the crowd

Once you buy the designer anarkali suit, they will last for a really long time.

They embody beautiful designs, embroideries, and sequin work, patchwork, zari work. You’ll look nothing short of stunning. With thousands of patterns available in the designer anarkali suits, here are some of the things that you need to consider.

Prices

Designer anarkali suits are made with a lot of care, caution, and compassion! The detailed handwork that goes into each piece is enormous.

You can expect prices to start at as low as $120 to as high as a few thousand dollars. It all depends on the amount of work, fabric, and customization required.

Set your budget and shop within its boundaries. Generally, spending a few hundred dollars isn’t unheard of, especially on evening pieces.

The more designs and embroidery patterns you go for, the higher the price. Be sure to compare prices before purchasing.

Occasion

When choosing your dress, ensure that it fits the occasion its meant for.

For example, if you’re going to a traditional party, then opt for something that is more demure, yet elegant. On the other hand, if you plan on attending a party, a bold pattern is perfect for it. This also works perfectly when attending wedding parties.

In recent years, different looks have emerged giving more options to the party wear, bridal, traditional, designer, cotton, silk, simple and Pakistani anarkali suits that already existed. New components and styles have made their way into this ethnic dress, such as:

  • Capes
  • Gowns
  • Jacket
  • Layers
  • Fish tail
  • Bollywood

Body Type

The design which looks perfect on Katrina Kaif may not be the right one for you. Don’t let that disappoint you. Just like any other fashion trend, trying on different styles to see what fits applies to anarkalis as well.

Though, my personal opinion is that you may be able to get away with more with these dresses given the nature of their cuts.

Don’t forget that skin tone, body type, height, and lighting will affect how a dress can look from one person to another.

Once you identify your body type, go for suits that are designed for your shape to ensure it highlights your assets.

Comparison

There are thousands of designs, fabrics, embroideries, colours, to choose from on the market. Take your time and compare the several options out there.

Look for what is best suited for your occasion, body type, features, preferences, and budget. This will help you narrow down your choices and get you the best deal on your anarkali suit.

Colours need to be carefully selected based on your skin tone and features. Don’t forgo to take makeup looks, hair styles, accessories, and shoes into account when setting your eyes on a anarkali suit. As it’s a head to toe piece, planning ahead of time what you will combine with it, to ensure it suits your style and features, is not a bad idea:

  • Check out Pinterest for ideas
  • Think of what makeup and hair style look good on you
  • List the accessories and shoes you already have

Buy it Online

Online shopping has gone to a completely different level than what it was a few years ago.

Anarkali suits, just like all other products can easily be found online at great prices and in amazing quality. Take your chance and go ahead order one but check the return policy on it. If there’s one thing to be weary about when it comes to online shopping is fit. Your best bet is to try one in store first to determine what suits you best, then find the equivalent online to save money!

Another factor to consider with online shopping is shipping and return shipping, customs, duty and taxes. These can often nip you in the butt if you don’t read al the fine print. Be aware when it comes to that.

The Gist of it

Buy designer anarkali smartly, by following the tops above to ensure you get the bang for your buck.

When you keep these points in mind, you can be sure that you’ll get the best deal. Be sure to go with a suit that best fits your body and personality. What type of anarkali suit do you like?
