Trendy western wear and fusion wear

Western wear is one of the most popular style choices among teenagers and young working professionals. The comfort and style choices offered by western wear are unparalleled. While jeans and tops have become so common, attires such as the gowns and dresses are worn only by a select few in Kerala. Let’s have a look at the various options available in western wear and fusion wear.

Dresses: It is a common misconception that dresses can be worn only by the extremely thin fashionistas. Dresses can be for the curvy or the thin. One has to keep in mind the cut off the dress and the colour while choosing dresses so that it flatters your body type. While maxi dresses would look good on a tall athletic figure it would be terrible for a short curvy body. If you have a slight paunch in your stomach then loose flared designs would be suited rather than bodycon dresses. If you have well toned arms go for sleeveless designs if not there are the lace sleeved dresses or various other sleeved options. Same goes for legs, you have options such as maxi, midi, knee length and mini dresses. Also remember to keep a little black dress that makes you look good as an emergency backup dress in your wardrobe.

Saree or Salwar the Best for Teenagers

This style can be teamed with a dupatta for the complete look or you can even do away with it. For festive occasions where you might like to dance this is ideal attire. The long top salwar is more formal looking attire. While this is the classic style when it comes to salwars this can be bit constraining for early teens. With the long dupatta and heavy work this is a combination that is best kept for auspicious occasions such as wedding celebrations or poojas.

Salwars can be brought both online and retail. One of the major reasons for the immense popularity of salwars is the numerous collections of unstitched salwars available. Unlike stitched and ready to wear options that you buy online you do not have to worry about the fit and other alterations that you might like to make. These are cheaper than the other stitched versions. Pay close attention to the design work around the neck and the fabric used while buying unstitched salwars. Most often these would be accompanied by a few pictures of the patterns in which they can be stitched. Depending on the way you get then stitched you could mix and match them with different bottoms and completely change their looks.

For late teenagers one of the most traditional dressing choices is the half saree. While this is not cumbersome to wear it has the elegance and charm of the saree. If you do want to go for the completely traditional and mature look then the saree is the best option. Unlike half saree this is a bit more difficult to wear and get used to. However, the elegance and beauty of the saree is unmatched by any other attire.  Learning to drape a saree properly is a skill worth learning. There are many styles in which you can drape a saree and you can even experiment with it and create your own unique style.
