Lehenga cholis are practically the manna for almost every Indian wedding and Indian bride. Without the lehenga, probably the best part of the bride’s look would run amiss. 2018 sees newer styles, which are more focussed on fabrics and the patterns. Last year it was all about the embroidery and the embellishment, but this year it is a different ball game altogether. The embellished lehenga cholis come in designer wear concepts mostly, and the placement of the designs matter the most. 2018 sees a lot of trending styles with pleats and silk fabrics, with regard to types of lehenga cholis for this year. Without much ado, whether you are a bride to be, a bridesmaid or someone attending a wedding and would want a lehenga choli, here are six types of lehengas that will rock 2018.

Circular/ Flared Lehenga 

 

This type of lehenga has many pleats and volume. BEST for Pear Shape, Straight (or Rectangle) Shape, Apple (or V shape), Hourglass Shape. The Lehenga has great volume and starts with many pleats at the hem which finally diffuse as goes down the flare. whether you are interested in designing your lehenga, select fabrics material that can take many pleats and go with huge borders. Too much embroidery design on the fabric material won’t be a good choice for this lehenga type.

Mermaid/ Fishtail Lehenga 

 

Imitating the mermaids, these type of lehengas are tight at knees and flare from calves like a fishtail and resembling a mermaid tail. Mermaid lehengas are tight at the hips and waists and hence should be worn with a bodysuit beneath. Besides, the trail at the back adds glamour to the look of the dresser with a perfect figure. Mermaid style lehengas are popular as they create interesting figure shapes and incorporated when it comes to various types of garments or attires.

A-Line Lehenga

 

This lehenga is in the shape of alphabet A. It flows from the waist to the hem. Unlike round lehenga which has a number of pleats, the flair of this lehenga is minimal. You can team this lehenga with puffy sleeves choli. This one has A-line at hem. It’s tight on the waist and then flares out at the bottom. BEST for Pear Shape, Tall Body Structure and Hourglass. This lehenga has the A-line hem that forms perfectly A shape. The number of pleats in this lehenga is quite less.

Sharara cut Lehenga 

 

With the trends and style changing in the market regularly, these have to evolve into the lehenga categories. These lehengas are stitched from the hem middle like a plazo or a trouser but look similar like a lehenga as a whole. These are mostly worn with Kurtis and are mostly worn by Muslim brides. We have seen many celebrities wearing Gharara and Sharara in various Bollywood movies like Pakeeza, Umrao Jaan etc. There are many Indian fashion designers designed and included Sharara and Gharara outfits for their bridal or couture design range. Gharara and Sharara are two outfits having their roots in Muslim culture, and they will be in fashion forever.
