leher

Hey guys , we are back with the second blog of our print series. Last time we styled stripes, but this time we went for a more Indian fabric - LEHERIYA.

Leheriya is a traditional style of tie and dye practiced in Rajasthan that result in brightly colored cloth with distinctive patterns. the technique gets its name from the Rajasthani word for 'WAVE' .

Leheriya has been worn by women over the ages now and has been a Bollywood favourite .

We personally love leheriya as a print. we used leheriya dupttas with western outfits to keep the balance between modern and traditional going.

LOOK 1

we used a multi colored leheriya dupattas for the look . generally multicolored fabrics are difficult to style so we kept our outfits monotonous,so that  no colors of the dupatta clash with the outfit. We used a beige straight pants along with a white crop top. the duppatta was draped around the neck. As the colors of the outfits were subtle all the colors of the duppatta showed beautifully.For the jewelry we used the earcuff on the top of the ear and big dangler earrings , a kada and few rings. the classic white shoes to complete the look. For makeup the eyes were kept soft and brown with pink lips. This look can be easily worn to college and is a perfect street-style look.
PS : you can drap duppatta in whatever style you want .

LOOK 2

For this look we had bright orange leheriya dupatta in mind so we decided to style it with something that would not overpower the color of the dupatta. So we chose a black below the dress with a large tan belt. This dress was too long for our liking so we decided to knot it up from one side. te belt gave definition to the waist as well a held dupatta in place. Since the dress was black the dupatta was in its full glory . the jewelry gave a tribal look to the outfit with little choker , kada,  and a nose pin. Our favorite chunky boots completed the look. 

Hope you like the blog .
