Last Updated on January 13, 2021 by Team Styl.

In a quest to look perfect people often forget to pay attention to the minutest yet the most important things. But to make a perfect bride every detail needs to be tended and so we started the body type series. STYL-INC is here to help you identify your body type and help you choose your perfect lehenga. So our second blog of this series is for the RECTANGLE BRIDE.

If you have a straight silhouette i.e. your bust, waist and hips are approx. the same size then you have a rectangle body type.

To flatter a rectangle body it’s important to create an illusion of curves. And I have some full proof means to help you achieve the most flattering look.

Necklines For More Curves!

Broad, deep and curvy necklines like sweetheart, v-neck, and scoop neck are most apt for a rectangle body. Such necklines will create an illusion of curves. This will make your bust look wider than your waist, giving you a curvier upper.

Embellishments are a Blessing for You!

You are one of the luckiest types because you can afford to wear as heavily embellished bloused and lehengas as you like. The embellishments will work to your advantage. A nicely embellished blouse will make your upper body look voluminous and curvy. A heavy lehenga will do the same for your lower body and in between your waist will look cinched. A gorgeous way to create those curves isn’t it?

Effortless Belts!

You will not believe how effective this is until you try it. if you have a rectangle body type and don’t wish to get too experimental then just throw in a belt. Get a matching belt with your lehenga and see how it creates those perfect curves for you.

Layering gives a better illusion!

Opting for layered outfits will be a boon for you. Like a cape jacket lehenga will add extra volume to your lower body which will make it look wider than the upper half. To balance it out a little, get the upper half embellished. Or if wearing something like dhoti pants for a smaller function, pair it with a cape. The dhoti with the cape will create a perfect hourglass shape for you!

Drapes make a difference!

The way your dupatta is draped or the way your pleats and draped make a whole lot of difference. Using pleats to add volume at the right places is the chic and classy way to do it.

STYL-TIP: to add more volume and curves to your upper half try different collars like bertha collar or a proper cape neck. Opt for a little can-can for a more voluminous lower body.

These are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve the desired hourglass look for your wedding. STYL-INC is here to put to rest all your fashion and wedding related woes and make your D-Day a dreamy affair. Be a STYL-bride and feel like a celebrity throughout.
