As the wedding season begins once again, with much celebrations in the air, the one outfit we see almost at every event, worn by girls who are 14 to ladies who are 40, is the Anarkali suit. Irrespective of age, body type and culture, this attire is worn by many. Hence it becomes all the more important to be able to pick up the best one from the showroom in accordance with all the highs and lows of your body. To highlight your highs and hide your lows. 

Here are a few tips that can guide you, depending on your body type and body frame.

Tall Girls: It is needless to say that tall girls are actually quite lucky since almost any kind of Anarkali suit would compliment them. The best ones being ankle length or floor length Anarkali suits with broad borders. These broad borders would suit them since they make one's body look more fragmented. As a result of this, if short or plump people wear such Anarkali suits, they would end up looking chubbier and shorter. 



Slim Girls: Slim girls who are niether too short, nor too tall are also at a "Nothing to lose" position. They can wear knee length, ankle length, as well as floor length Anarkali suits.The style of their borders would depend on whether they are towards the taller frame or a shorter one. If they are short, it would be best to stick to thinner and lesser number of borders.



Plump Girls: An Anarkali suit has the capability of making a very plump girl look very thin, which is due to the illusion that it's gathers or " Kalis" give. However what needs to be kept in mind is that such girls should opt for longer Anarkali suits, with little or no fragmentation and absolutely solid colors. Borders can be both broad or thin, but the bodice should not have any cluster of colors. It is also advisable for girls with this body type to wear broad and relatively lower necklines . This also creates an illusion, which makes them look much thinner than they really are. Magic!



Petite Girls: Anarkali suits basically add volume to the body that wears them. Hence they work best for any petite girl who would want to add just a little volume to herself, while keeping in mind that she would never want to look fat. It is therefore best, for petite structured girls to wear Anarkalis that have a relatively lesser number of kalis. This would give them the necessary volume, but also not make them look lost in an entire mass of cloth.



Broad Framed girls: If you have a broad frame, then it is best to go in for a broad and a deeper neckline. You could accessorize by wearing a state of the art neck piece. Since broad structured girls have the added advantage of a broad back, this gives them the pass to opt for a deep back or backless Anarkali suit.



Narrow Framed girls: If your frame is narrow, that is your shoulders aren't wide, then it would look great if you could experiment with a high neck or a boat neck Anarkali suit. High neck Anarkalis look simply classy and chick.
