Outfits you can wear as a wedding guest if you don’t want to wear a saree!

 

With wedding season approaching, we now have very little time to prepare our outfits as a guest. When we really dig into our cupboards last minute, we grab the safes option which is- a Saree. It is a great and versatile option. But if you wish to do something different. We are here to help you pick your outfits.

Lehenga/Lacha and a Top

So, if you have a heavy lehenga lying around and you cannot find an occasion to team up your lehenga lacha collection, it is the right time to change your mind. Don’t keep your lacha packed in the cupboard or your bed bunk. Take that out and pair it up with any basic crop top or shirt and you have a wedding guest outfit ready.

A kaftan

So, if you are new to this word, kaftan is a Kashmiri outfit inspired gown/dress. It is a single piece outfit that goes up to your ankle. The sleeves are not defined and looks rectangular. But once you wear it, the stiches on the side define the shape. Georgette printed kaftan are so easy to style for any body shape. Now you can hog the entire food corner and no one can tell. We got you bestie!

Handloom Salwar Kameez

If you are someone who likes the subtle look and believes in simplistic, minimalist look. You can go for Dupion handloom salwar kameez. It is a crisp silk fabric that keeps you comfortable, makes you look royal. If you want to dress it up, pair it with an embroidered dupatta and heavy earrings, and you are good to make a statement out there.

Anarkali and Palazzo

Now you think how can someone pair palazzo and Anarkali, both being the loose fitted clothes. So, get a shorter chanderi print Anarkali with palazzo and witness your mindset change. Anarkali with palazzo are extremely comfortable and a great alternative to your regular stitched salwar kameez.

Now you know, go attend that wedding but always remember to stay safe and be protected.

 

How to accessorize your simple outfit for festivals?

We are in the middle of the festive month. Everyday is a new celebration, which we absolutely love but with this also comes tension of dressing differently each time. While most men wear kurta pajama and are sorted for most of the part, it is the fashion divas and guys like us that needs to mix and match. Mixing and matching does help to elevate your outfit but accessorizing it differently each time gives it a new perspective altogether.

For example, if you have a plain saree lying around in the house or you buy plain saree online, now the difference it will make is when you will accessorize it differently. Even if you choose to wear one plain saree the entire festivities but decide to switch it up each time with new techniques, you will look top notch each time.

Change outfit by changing just the jewelries

Jewelleries can make or break your outfit. If you have a fancy outfit but is paired with either no jewellery at all or the wrong ones, the charm will be lost somewhere.

For classic look

Wear a beaded or stone single layer necklace set with stud as earrings. This is one simple yet classic look that never goes out of fashion

For bright look

If you have a simple cotton Anarkali suit or plain saree lying around and if you want to up your game, you can pair it up with chandbalis. These are heavy and long earrings representing Mughal art. You can buy artificial jewellery. These are budget friendly and looks great.

For festive look

Buy necklace set online for women, you will find various designs and shapes. Comes in different colours and patterns too. The necklace and earrings both are on the heavier side, looks good when paired with plain stitched salwar kameez, saree or lacha collection.

Not just jewellery, other accessories help to elevate your outfit from boring to fab like-

Potlis and clutches

You have so much to carry and let us be honest, sometimes Indian wear are not the most practical clothing. In order to carry your phone, extra earrings, makeup for touchup and other essential products, you need a good bag. Now, you cannot just carry any bag, so potlis comes to the rescue. It looks nice, are affordable and can carry so much. It is your cue to buy clutches potlis online, right now!

 

Get ready for all the festivities in these ethnic pieces!

 

The golden month of the year has started. This entire month is loaded with joy, celebrations and of course sweets. But there is one more element and that is our ethnic clothes, clothes that are close to our culture. This is the time when we can embrace colours of colours and festivities into our outfit without it being too much.

Many of us prepare our outfit well in advance, but those who haven’t, there is no reason to worry. You can always buy readymade suits. They come in handy. First, they are already a set so you do not have to think about mixing and matching and are usually true to their size. There are multiple options. You can buy stitched salwar suit online or scroll through a stroll, you will definitely find something for your liking.

For most of us who likes preparing outfits in advance, we have got few suggestions for you:

For Durga Pujo

Pandal hopping, eating good food, mingling with your loved, these all-beautiful things are associated with Durga Pujo. What is better than donning a silk saree. You can get a woven Banarasi Silk with contrast border. Usually red and white is the colour of this seasons, however, there are no hard and fast rule. You can get woven sarees in any fabric with contrasting border, you will definitely find one in your mom’s closet. Style it as you like and you are good to go.

For Dussehra

You would love to go to a nearby mela with your friends and family. Will eat a lot, play a lot of games, will walk a lot, this means, you have to look stylish and be comfortable, all at once. Nothing is better than cotton Anarkali kurtis in such cases. First, they are extremely flowy and has so much room to walk (and eat). You do not have to constantly check the creasing and other things, also there are minimum chances of you tripping while having fun. Sounds perfect to me.

For Diwali

Okay, this is one festival when you can go all out. Usually, it starts with the Puja in the evening and then people usually like staying in, either their own house, as a host or to their loved one’s house. Basically, there is not much walking around but lot of food and laughter. You can get designer embroidery saree or a designer plain saree that you can team up with various accessories. If you don’t wish to accessories a lot, go for embroidered saree and if you like pairing accessories, it is always better to go for plain saree. Choice is yours. This is your day to just shine!

Modest Indian fashion for all our fashionistas

 

Indian wear comes in various shapes, designs and patterns. Everyone has something for them.

So, all my beautiful ladies who are not comfortable wearing low waist sarees or small cholis, we are here to guide you on how to look like a complete stunner that you are without any skin show.

We will decode modest fashion one outfit at a time, what is better than starting with the versatile saree.

Sarees

So, sarees don’t always mean skin show. For example, take any designer plain saree, to turn it into modest wear, pair plain sarees with sleeved blouse with boat neck. If waist-show is not your style, get the blouse stitched a little lower and wear your saree high-waisted. Perks of high-waisted saree is that it makes you look leaner and taller. In fact, most women are opting for high waisted sarees these days and it looks absolutely breath taking. You can tie high-waist saree with any fabric like woven tussar pashmina saree or if you find woven sarees online and even any plain saree or embroidered saree will work too.

Lehenga/Laacha

This is easy, if you want to look flattering yet modest, choose a style of choli that you are comfortable with. If just plain shirt style long choli is not your preferred option, you can go for options like peplum choli, short kurta style, uneven hemline choli, button up choli and so many other styles. If you want to go for georgette stitched laacha, placement of your dupatta can make a whole lot difference. Drape your dupatta like you would a saree pallu and there you go!

Salwar Suit

Most modest Indian wear is a salwar kameez. You can opt for Anarkali stitched salwar kameez, it is flowy and comfortable yet look super stylish.

Wild card entries in our final list are a gown dress. These are modest, modern and appropriate thing to wear if you prefer comfort. Second comes georgette printed kaftan, it trending because its good. It’s a must try.
