Step up your Anarkali look with these footwear choices!

The flare of an Anarkali is one of the most versatile, graceful, and elegant outfits, suitable for women. Perfect for family gatherings to festive celebrations, Anarkalis are multifaceted and easily make you the face of the event with their royal appearance. However, the choice of footwear you’re pairing with it can break or make your look in seconds. Let’s see which 5 traditional footwear choices will give you a slight lift and bring you comfort with an edgy charm.

2/6

Traditional juttis

Punjabi juttis with Anarkali are a mix of comfort and chic elegance, which overall enhances the ethnic look. However, women who are petite and short should avoid wearing a flat pair of juttis, as a flared Anarkali already turns down your side structure. Flat ethnic juttis are perfect for girls who already have a straight and lean posture. You can opt for juttis that are decorated with zari, beads, sequins, or any other thread work. They look perfect with all silhouettes and exude an overall rich look.

Kolhapuri chappals

Kolhapuri chappals keep things looking stylish but with ease. Known for their simplicity, handcrafted Kolhapuri sandals with small beads and decor look perfect with Anarkali suits. These complement the ethnic fit, making it appear chic without overshadowing the fit. Opt for a light-finish embroidered Kolhapuri sandals or chappals according to your comfort and enjoy your event without any distractions.

Decorated block heels

Block heels give the perfect twist to any traditional outfit, and an Anarkali is no exception. Unlike the pointy heels, block heels are comfortable for long hours and give you the perfect height. It allows the anarkali to flow swiftly and bestows you with a neat posture and comfort. Opt for an embellished pair that is decorated with stones, beads, tassels, and glitter, which gives you ease, unlike high heels.

Peep-toe sandals

Peep-toe sandals exude a soft yet contemporary touch and create a sleek edge with their front design. Adding a bit of modernity without overpowering the traditional look, it is well-suited for super-flared Anarkalis, which demand comfortable accessories. These peep-toe sandals are perfect for summer parties, weddings, and festive occasions, as they create a neat balance between chic and comfortable. You can opt for metallic shades or go for classic nude pairs with a gentle fit.

6/6

Stiletto heels

If you wish to look super glamorous, modish, and bold with your traditional anarkali set, then opt for a sleek pair of stiletto heels. Stilettos make you appear taller and add a magnificent appeal. Opt for a pair that already has stone embellishments or a glitter charm and exudes a festive glow. Stilettos are less about comfort and more about glam, so opt for a fitted Anarkali charm, which helps you in movement and gives you the ideal fashion fluidity.
