Reasons to Ditch your Lehenga for the Next Sangeet

The sangeet night includes the most action-packed festivities of the wedding affair. A dance clash between team bride and team groom, grooving to your favourite numbers, partying till the wee hours, be prepared for glitz and glamour galore. From getting competitive on the dance floor to channelling your A-game glamour, your agenda will need a diva-esque flair to leave a lasting impression on the onlookers. We know you swear by the good ol’ voluminous lehenga to slay sangeet revelries but if you plan to experiment and sass it up, start taking notes. Call them modern influences or smart substitutes, with these flouncy twirl-ready silhouettes you can easily win the ‘fashionista of the night’ title. 

New-age Sarees

Sipping cocktails and dancing to Bollywood numbers amounts to the best-thrown sangeet party. Channel your elan in glamorous concept sarees to shine in the spotlight. If you wish to be as happening as the party, place your trust on pre-draped saree gowns or palazzo sarees that will shimmy on the dance floor and stay intact till the after-party! 

Classic Shararas

While we might wonder if shararas are sangeet-appropriate, you’ll find ample of Bollywood song references. Its flouncy flare is bound to make a statement when you dance the night away. Leading the bridesmaid team? Add a cinematic charm to your performance dolled up in a classic sharara or gharara ensemble. You’ll surely leave the crowd swooning over you. 

Free-spirited Anarkalis 

To enter to room like a party-starter of the evening, you can trust the quaint charming anarkali to keep it effortless yet sassy.  From a mehendi sundowner to a sangeet night, a voluminous anarkali has the knack to ease you through the revelries. Twirl-ready on the dance floor and double-tap-worthy on Instagram, you’ll be setting the stakes high acing both-the steps and the glam-quotient

Dreamy Gowns

Breezy, form-fitted or can-canned, gowns have the flair to turn you into the belle of the ball. So, if you wish to be one, an opulent fit and flare silhouette should set you right. A flowy contemporary cut will accentuate you in a flattering way; you might feel like waltzing across the room with your beau. 

Lehengas have clocked decades as the most-coveted sangeet night outfit. But if you’ve been planning to move over lehengas and reckon with the modernity, start a trend with a silhouette you feel groovy in. Fusion sarees, shararas, gowns and anarkalis, the alternatives are eclectic and super-comfy to celebrate in.
