#1. Go for a monotone blouse

To tone down the effect of your heavy lehenga, you can get a plain, raw silk or brocade (depending on your lehenga) blouse made. Throng your dupatta on one side and wear only a chunky pair of earrings. The best hairdo would either be a high bun if you have a chiselled jaw line, or curls let loose. We bet you will be leaving a twinkle in every eye set on you.

Get a contrast coloured kurta with long sleeves over your lehenga. You can even go for a turtle-neck if you wish to go bold with the style. You can get antique embroidery done on the shoulder, neck and sleeves (around the wrist), to add more detailing. In this case, stay away from jewellery to keep the look subtle. You can perhaps think of wearing a heavy bun pin to complete this unique look.

#5. Make a half-saree with your dupatta

If your lehenga is heavily embellished, you can go for a subtle shade dupatta, wrap around your waist and pleat like a saree. You can even go for a contrast coloured dupatta or a heavy dupatta in the case of a plain lehenga. Make sure you drape it carefully to blend the colours and fabrics well. It will make for a stunning new look.
