What do you think about when you hear the word ‘glitter’? An eyeshadow palette? A school project? Wedding decor? A handmade greeting card? After this article, you’ll think about lehengas, sarees, suits and other Indian wear. Take a cue from your favourite Bollywood celebrities on how to wear glitter without looking extra. You don’t need a million bucks, to look like one in a million. Just a handful of glitter confetti is enough.
1. Thick Glitter Border On A Lehenga
Borders alone can change the tone of your lehenga. A dainty gota-patti border will give an elegant vibe as opposed to a thick velvet border on the hemline. Take a cue from Bhumi and add a gallop of glitter to your lehenga skirt’s border. It’ll pretty up your twirl!
2. Glitter Embroidered Detailings
Give your dull colours a sparkly spin with glitter embroidery, just like Karisma Kapoor has done it on her cape and lehenga skirt. Don’t let grey and beige stay away from happy celebrations.

3. Glitter On Blouse Design
When it comes to Indian wear, Sabyasachi is nothing short of an inspiration. Another way to add glitter in your outfit without looking ‘too much’ – pay attention to the blouse. Go easy on embroidery when your blouse is this ‘lit’.
4. Dupatta With Glitter Work
Dupattas are another Indian wear essential that can double as some serious #GlamGoals. Transform a simple suit to sexy, Sridevi style. You’ll look anything but basic.
5. Glitter Embellishments
Longline jackets with Indian wear, especially skirt coordinate sets, is a trend we’re most thankful to 2017 for. Have a function to attend but don’t want to spend a lot? Pick one of your old jackets and add some glitter embellishments, just like Deepika. It’ll feel like a brand new outfit!

6. Edgy Glitter Highlights
We love the glitter highlights on Dia Mirza’s blouse. Sheer three-fourth sleeves with glittering cuffs and neckline, it doesn’t get better than that. You’ll look stylish but not over the top.

7. Glitter Work On Saree
Farewell is coming, but the saree ideas are not? Don’t worry! Just ask your masterji to add some glitter to your mom’s old saree. People will think you’re wearing a designer number. You can also try a glitter blouse under a sheer net saree to keep it subtle.
