All the options you can consider if you want to skip the OTT embellishments on your best friend's big day

Trends will come and go, but the classic silhouette of a back-baring blouse and A-line skirt of a lehenga will never lose its charm. With lehengas being appropriate for most functions in the Indian wedding line-up, picking a versatile one can ensure that you get the most out of your investment. Think creations featuring threadwork, bold prints on featherlight fabrics and wispy skirts with interchangeable blouses. Remember how Sonam Kapoor Ahuja stood out in a layered lehenga set by Anamika Khanna in pastel tones at her cousin’s mehandi ceremony? The recent crop of lehengas is dominated by such fuss-free styles that would serve well for everyone from wedding guests to bridesmaids in an intimate setting. Ahead, we round up some of the best offerings of the season.

The best lightweight lehengas you can invest in this season

Recent collections by Megha Bansal, Ridhi Mehra and Payal Singhal prove that a summer-friendly colour palette of aqua blue, canary yellow, soft pink and neutrals will bring some natural goodness to your ensembles. While florals never disappoint, Aisha Rao and Seema Gujral present equally refreshing alternate patterns in chevron and tropical motifs. When you have crop top style blouses that offer more coverage like the ones at Torani and Anita Dongre, you can ditch the dupatta for an even more pared-down look.
