Ace The Look
  • Body Type: Those with a pear-shaped body should opt for a V-neck blouse to elongate the neck, while a high-neck blouse can balance broader shoulders and enhance an hourglass shape. Peplum blouses can add curves to a rectangular body, whereas a fitted blouse can accentuate a petite figure.
  • Lehenga Style: Create a balanced look by selecting a blouse design that contrasts with the lehenga. If the lehenga is simple and plain, pair it with an intricate, heavily embellished blouse.
  • Color: The blouse color should complement the lehenga. If the lehenga is bold and bright, choose a blouse in a neutral shade to create a balanced look.
