‘Bakrid’ (Eid al-Adha), one of the most sacred festivals of the Islamic calendar, is about to come. On this special occasion, every woman wants to look the most beautiful and different. Women often get overdressed in the joy and excitement of Eid, but a small mistake in fashion can spoil the entire look. Especially, if your height is a little short, then it is important to take special care from selection of clothes to make-up and jewellery.
Often short height women wear trendy Garara, Sharara or Persian Salwar, but due to lack of proper styling, their beauty gets hidden behind the clothes. This Bakrid, if you want everyone to praise your traditional look, then definitely note these 4 special styling tips.
1. Keep this in mind while wearing Persian salwar or sharara-garara
Nowadays, Persian salwar, sharara and garara suits are on top in fashion trends. But if your height is short, then keep these things in mind while getting them stitched or buying them:
-
High Waist Bottom: Your Garara or Persian salwar should always be slightly above the navel i.e. high waist. This makes your leg length more visible and makes you look taller.
-
Bottom Length: The bottom of the feet should not hang too low on the ground. If you are going to wear heels on Eid, then keep the length of the gara such that it covers half of your heels. This will create an amazing illusion in your height.
2. How should the kurta be? (Kurti Styling Tips)
Women with short height should show maximum wisdom in the selection of kurtas:
-
Avoid Anarkali: Avoid wearing a long Anarkali kurta with too many flares or touching the floor, it will make your height look shorter. If you have to wear Anarkali, then its length should be such that a little bit of the pajama underneath is visible.
-
A-line and straight kurta is best: To make short height look tall A-Line or Straight Fit Kurta Is the best option.
-
Fitting and Neckline: Avoid wearing kurtas that are too loose fitting and have full sleeves. Kurta should be of proper fitting according to your body shape. Also, if its neckline is slightly visible or has a V-neck, then the neck looks longer.
3. Correct way of draping Dupatta
Wrong styling of the dupatta can also make your height appear shorter. Follow these methods while taking scarf on Eid:
-
Side Draping: Do not make the mistake of draping or tucking the scarf completely around the neck. Pin it up leaving one side of the shoulder slightly open, this creates a long vertical line on the body that makes you look taller.
-
Rule of keeping pallu on head: If you want to keep a dupatta (pallu) on the head, then bring the dupatta on the head from the back and keep it long from the front and pin it. If the dupatta is too short near the chest from the front, your height will appear stunted.
4. Jewelery should be trendy and sleek
Every woman is fond of wearing heavy jewellery, but at short height, heavy jewelery suppresses the whole look:
-
Tell the bran: Avoid wearing a choker necklace that sticks closely to the neck or a very heavy set. These make your neck look shorter.
-
Choose Long Neckpiece: Instead of choker, choose trendy and thin neckpieces that hang from the neck to the chest (Long Chain/Pendant Style). This will make your neckline look longer.
-
Earrings: Instead of very big and wide earrings, wear small, modern and vertical (long) style earrings, so that along with your jewellery, your face and neck can also be highlighted well.
When you dress up this Bakrid by following these 4 easy and effective fashion tips, everyone at the gathering will go crazy about your elegant and beautiful look!
