Best Outfits to Wear on Karwa Chauth
Keeping in mind that it’s a day when you will be fasting, we recommend going with something you are comfortable with. If you are a saree lover, go for a fancy embellished sari, chiffon sari or a digitally printed saree.
For Lehengas, you can either go with a monochromatic lehenga or with a contrasting blouse. If you are not fond of heavy sarees or lehengas, go for co-ord suits and long frocks. They look equally festive and mesmerizing.
Tips And Tricks for A Flawless Karwa Chauth Look
- Footwears play an important role in elevating your look. So pay special attention to your footwear. If you are a lady with a toddler, go for khussas and sandals as they are easier to walk in.
- Most of the women wear a saree on a Karwa Chauth. First of all, make sure your petticoat is not flared. It should be well-fitted so that you should look slimmer. If you are an expert in handling a saree, go with heels and stilettos. But if you are a beginner, choose small heels like kitten heels or block heels.
- If you are a newlywed, you must dress a little extra because it is your first Karwa Chauth. Go for bright hues like red or dark pink.
- Most ladies go for ethnic and traditional outfits, don’t forget to mix and match your accessories. If your dress is too heavy and embellishments are fair enough to make you stand out, go for light and subtle jewelry.
- If you are wearing plain silk suits or chikankari kurti outfits, accessorize well with jhumkas, teeka, bangles and necklace. This will balance out your outfits and you will look stylish yet sophisticated.
