When it comes to lehengas, the blouse can make or break your entire look. This season, designers are blending traditional craftsmanship with modern silhouettes, making blouse design more important than ever. Here are five blouse styles that are currently trending for lehengas — perfect whether you're dressing for a wedding, sangeet, or reception.
1. Corset‑Style / Structured Blouse
· What it is: A corset-style blouse features a structured bodice, often with boning or tailored seams, giving you a defined waist and a flattering silhouette.
· Why it's trending: According to , these blouses bring a sophisticated, glamorous edge to bridal and reception looks.
· Styling tip: Pair it with a flowing, soft lehenga (like silk or georgette) so the contrast between the rigid top and fluid skirt makes a statement.
2. Full-Sleeved Embroidered Blouse
· What it is: Blouses with long sleeves, often richly embroidered with thread, zardozi, or mirror work.
· Why it's trending: Full sleeves are especially popular for winter weddings, adding elegance and coverage.
· Styling tip: Use heavier fabrics like velvet or brocade for a regal feel, and keep your lehenga skirt comparatively simpler so the sleeves are the highlight.
3. Plunging V-Neck / Deep Neck Blouse
· What it is: A blouse with a deep V-neck (front or back), sometimes supported by sheer mesh or delicate tie-ups.
· Why it's trending: The plunging V-neck is making waves as a modern, chic twist on traditional blouse designs.
· Styling tip: To balance the daring neckline, go for understated jewelry — maybe a simple choker and dangling earrings.
4. Peplum Blouse
· What it is: A blouse with a peplum flare starting at the waist, giving a structured and dramatic silhouette.
· Why it's trending: As per ZeelClothing, peplum blouses in 2025 are evolving with layered flares or asymmetric cuts that feel fusion and modern.
· Styling tip: Pair with a high-waisted lehenga so the peplum’s flare enhances your waistline and creates a balanced proportion.
5. Off‑Shoulder or One‑Shoulder Blouse
· What it is: Blouses that either expose both shoulders (off-shoulder) or just one (one-shoulder), often with embellishments, ruffles, or drapes.
· Why it's trending: According to BestBlouseDesigns, off-shoulder styles are especially popular for their feminine, western-fusion vibe. WomenLehenga also notes that asymmetric one-shoulder designs (with ruffles or sequins) are a hot pick for modern brides.
· Styling tip: These work best with strapless or light-strap brassieres. Highlight your collarbones with a statement necklace or go minimal for an elegant, sleek look.
Bonus Trend: Back Designs That Impress
While not a “front” blouse design, back detailing is a major trend this season. Designs like backless blouses with dori (tie-up) or tassels, sheer net backs, and intricate embroidery are very popular, according to BestBlouseDesigns. These can elevate any of the above styles by adding drama and sophistication.
