Navratri is just around the corner, and it is officially the time for dancing, celebrating, and feeling your best. However, choosing the right outfit for garba can be tricky, specially for plus size women, as they do not always allow you to move freely. The good news is that you do not need to compromise on style to be comfortable and also look pretty.
Plus-Size Navratri Fashion Guide
We have curated five Navratri outfit ideas beyond classic ghagra for plus-size women that are easy to style, easy to dance in and will make you stand out.
1. Ghagra with Peplum Blouse
If you have a heavy bust, then a peplum blouse work well for people with a heavy bust. Its structure cinches at the smaller part of the waist and flares out, and hides the tummy area as well. A peplum blouse, when paired with a high-waisted flared lehenga, gives a balanced look.
2. Saree Drape
If you do not want to wear a lehenga or heavy ghagra, then a saree will look perfect, as it will have the festive vibes too and will go well with garba. Wear a colourful and bright saree, possibly in bandhani or leheriya print, for garba. Put the drape of the saree in front for the authentic Gujarati look, similar to Janhvi Kapoor's latest rani pink Gujarati saree for the Ambani's Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. You can also choose a ruffle saree or a pre-draped saree for more structure. Go for chiffon or georgette, as it will be more comfortable. A saree will look beautiful on a curvy body.
3. Anarkali Kurta With Flared Pants
If you want that flare and twirl of garba, then go for an Anarkali suit. It will also work for plus-size bodies as it covers most of the body and is also comfortable while dancing. Go for the anarkali suit that has mirror work or heavy embroidery that will match the festive vibe. For more flare, wear it with palazoo pants or a long skirt.
4. Dhoti Pants with Cape Top
Dhoti pants will give full movement and comfort while dancing and will give a completely different look for garba too. Meanwhile, a cape top will successfully cover arms and back. Choose a solid dhoti pant and pair it with a printed cape top that will instantly give a festive look. You can also add a waist belt to define the curvy body shape.
5. A Plain Top With Long Skirt
If you are still confused on what to wear on garba, then here is a last minute outfit idea for you. Choose a solid full- or half-sleeved top and pair it with a vibrant long skirt. The solid top will sit right on the body and bust, making it comfortable while dancing and also removing the worry of an uncomfortable blouse.
Conclusion:
Whether you choose a twirl-friendly Anarkali lehenga, a comfy sharara set or a trendy dhoti with a cape, the best styling hack is comfort. Pair your outfits with beautiful jhumkaas, comfortable jhutis and cute polti to stand out.
