10 Ways To Look Slim In Indian Ethnic Wears

So rightly said by Coco Chanel! Looking fabulous is the priority among the cosmopolitan ladies. Who doesn’t want to flaunt a slim figure? A figure that adds a subtle touch of attractiveness to your personality! However, not all of us are blessed with a perfect shape no matter how much we exercise or control our desire to binge over the mouthwatering goodies.

India, the incredible country shares a rich heritage in terms of ethnicity and culture. Women in India are naturally beautiful but at times sad because of a fat look in Indian clothes. Indian attires in general impart a thinner look as compared to the western outfits. Due to the presence of layers and embellishments, you can easily use these dresses to flaunt your style by camouflaging all the flaws. 

Following are some valuable tips that will make you look slimmer in Ethnic Outfits: 

1. It is essential for every woman to understand the kind of dress that complements her body contours in the most perfect manner. If you have a heavy upper part, avoid wearing fabrics that cling to your upper part. 

2. Avoid adding any kind of frill or gathering of fabrics in your lehenga or kameeze to look slimmer.

3. Women with heavy upper portion, frills near the necklines are not a good option.

4. If you have heavy buttock, avoid the frills near your hips. In fact churidar is a great alternative for Patiala pants to hide that area and look slim. Choose long kurtis that cover your hips and gives you a narrower look. 

5. Monochromatic Indian dresses are a great choice when it comes to a taller and less bulky look. 

6. Opt for loose fitting kurtis that make you less bulky.

7. If you love printed outfits, always choose smaller prints.

8. If you have a secret crush on stripes, always opt for the vertical ones. 

9. Stick to the fine silk sarees and crepes as they will make you look slimmer than the heavy silk sarees.

10. Delicately sequined and embroidered sarees are also a good choice to look slender.

Be The Man Of Manners Even When On Wheels

Following a few basic rules of roadway etiquettes can create all the difference between safe, decent driving and careless, reckless driving.

Prove yourself as the man of manners even when on wheels by avoiding some common driving errors:

The Annoying Tailgater-

Tailgating is the act of an unnecessary drive close to the car just in front of you. This should be avoided as it depicts a rude image and could even be dangerous. Driving close to the car in front of you throws direct risks considering you may not have enough time or space to avoid the collision leading to accident. Thus, it is always safe and decent to maintain a certain distance from the vehicle in front of you. 

The Imprudent Multi-Tasker

When you are driving your car, your primary focus must be the road ahead of you and the environment surrounding you. Often some drivers try to act smart by showcasing their multi-tasking talent on the wheels by turning on the radio, speaking via mobiles and enjoying the GPS display while driving. Such activities only prove a person’s stupidity rather than his smartness.

If you have to make or attend an urgent call, drive your car at one side of the road and receive your call without any hassle. Always remember that you have got two hands and only one brain. Even professional drivers fail to maintain balance and concentration while driving. The current road environment is fast paced and at times chaotic. Thus, it is better to act really smart by paying your complete attention towards driving and nothing else.

The Impatient Approach to the Pedestrians-

No pedestrian prefers spending time in the middle of a road. They always tend to cross the road as soon as possible. It is always better to portray patience without unnecessary honking to give them their space and time to cross the road safely.

The Double Parking Space Occupiers-

Portray yourself as a confident man who always tends to park his car within the confines of a single parking space. Avoid consuming a double parking space that might offend others.

The Frequent Honkers at Traffic-

Frequent honking at the traffic signals not only irritates others but also portrays a foolish image of yours. Thus it is advised to follow the traffic signals patiently without blowing the horns constantly.

Play Smart With Your Hair To Camouflage Your Forehead

Wide foreheads are a sign of open-mindedness, superior intelligence and analytical powers. These are few comforting words for those who have disproportionately large foreheads. Every woman wishes to get a well-balanced synchronization of facial symmetries. For those who have wide foreheads, here are a few tricks to play smart and look aesthetically pleasing.

Back combed styles are not for you-

Tying a ponytail with a back brush style may be a cool trend but try avoiding this style if you have a broad forehead. This style not only draws attention to your wide forehead but also reduces the hairline further.

Opt for styles with headbands, scarves, bandanas & hats-

If you are bored with the styles you generally do to cover-up your forehead, try something new with these pretty fashion accessories. Create a funky style statement with summer hats or colorful head bands. A contrast can also be made with scarves and bandanas that beautifully cover your forehead by eliminating the monotony of style. You can also bring those cascading attractive curls in front so as to make an appealing statement for the world. 

Hairstyles can be illusive enough to hide your flaws-

 A wide forehead gives your face an elongated appearance. You must play some tricks to break this look. Nothing can be better than trying some hairstyles that not only bring a perfect balance between your forehead and face but also make you look attractive.

Layers & highlights for medium to long hair-

A layered style speaks of soft waves and bangs. Tell your makeup artist to make a side parting with a layer of hair falling gracefully over your forehead. Try some colour highlights to make those locks more interesting thereby distracting attention from forehead. 

Emo hairstyle for short, medium & long hair-

Add a spin to your style by trying the emo hairstyle that helps in hiding your forehead with an innovative side-swept fringe. Heavy and choppy in nature, these fringes can be streaked in vibrant shades to create a wow look for you.
