You might think that retro styled clothes are no more in trend, but that's absolutely wrong! Retro attires have been ruling since ages, and still rules the fashion industry to the fullest. You must have already seen plenty of retro attires such as polka/Gibson dots dresses, parallel pants, skater skirts, and what not? But, have you ever tried to check out the retro ethnic wears? There are plenty of exemplary ethnic wears that were worn by none other than the leading ladies of Bollywood in the 60's era. For instance, Anarkali suits were worn by Madhubala in Mughal-e-Azam, and churidars were worn by Sadhana in the movie Waqt. These type of suits were trending in the 1960's and are still considered as attractive ethnic wear. But, there's one thing that has recently emerged in the fashion arena, and that is, Retro styled lehengas.
Retro styled lehengas are not exactly the carbon copy of what the 60's actresses wore. These are basically inspired by the fabrics, designs, prints, sequins, and last but not the least, the choli style, which are inspired by the 60's era. Here are some of the retro-styled lehengas that can help you look like a "retro-beauty" on a special occasion:
Plain lehengas were "most wanted"
In today's era, not a single girl would prefer to don a lehenga that has no sequins, prints or designs on it. But in the early 60's btown actresses mostly used to wear lehengas that were simply plain (not a single design!), and wore a choli that is multicolored or well-designed, such as floral printed cholis or cholis having floral sequins.

Lehengas with waist length cholis were "most raved"
Nowadays, women like to flaunt their contour more; so what they do is tailor cholis that are short, so that they can flaunt their sultry, curvaceous body, especially the waist line. But, in the 1960's era, Indian women hardly used to wear short cholis; instead, they always wore waist-length long cholis to conceal their waist area, most probably because the body showoff culture wasn't much preferred.

Lehengas with long cholis were "in trend"
If you think that long cholis are a "new" trend then you are absolutely wrong. Lehenga having long choli is a retro style, and this style has again gained popularity in the current century, especially after the release of Bajirao Mastani, where Deepika was seen donning lehenga's with long cholis, and sometimes with angrakhas
