Choosing an ethnic suit that flatters your body is like finding your fashion soulmate — when it fits right, you feel invincible. At DanLo, we believe every woman deserves to look and feel her best in what she wears, and the secret often lies in choosing the right silhouette for your shape, not just the prettiest embroidery.
Let’s break down how to pick your perfect suit based on your body type — so you shop smarter, style better, and strut with unapologetic confidence.
👙 1. Pear-Shaped Body (Wider Hips, Narrower Shoulders)
What Works:
- A-line Kurtas, flared at the bottom
- Anarkalis that draw attention upward
- Light or embellished dupattas to balance the frame
What to Avoid:
- Heavy borders around hips
- Tapered or skin-tight bottoms
Shop Smart:
At DanLo, we’ve curated flowy suits that glide over the hips while adding subtle drama at the shoulders — ideal for balance and poise.
🧍 2. Apple-Shaped Body (Fuller Midsection)
What Works:
- Straight-cut kurtas with vertical prints
- High slits and V-necklines to elongate the torso
- Dark colors with minimal embroidery near the waist
What to Avoid:
- Clingy fabrics like lycra
- Heavy waist embroidery or belts
Best Pick at DanLo:
Monotone suits with georgette dupattas and sleek silhouettes that flatter the center and highlight your strengths.
🪞 3. Hourglass Body (Balanced Bust and Hips, Narrow Waist)
What Works:
- Fitted kurtas that hug the waist
- Palazzo or churidar pants to emphasize curves
- Waist belts or detailing around the midsection
What to Avoid:
- Baggy or shapeless cuts
