The Indian
summer is here and fashion trends are naturally going to be dictated by the
weather and nothing better for the summer than Indian ethnic wear which was
originally conceptualized keeping the Indian climate in mind. This is one
reason why the rising popularity in western wear hasn’t affected the market for
ethnic wear in India and other south Asian countries with similar dressing
styles. Classic Indian outfits like georgetteAnarkali suits, cotton kurtis, salwars and saris continue to be much sought
after clothing items. Read further to know about these seasons trends involving
Indian ethnic wear and ethnic jewelry.
Summer 2016
Yes like every other summer, this year too there’s going to
be an onslaught of cottons, jute and other summer friendly outfits but this by
no means translates in to drab casual wear from your closet from the previous
years. Give ethnic wear a twist with new age silhouettes, retro elements on a
trendy outfit, fusion inspired fashion and a free reign to expressing yourself
through what you wear. Read further to know more.
Indo-Western Fusion
The trend this year is not to get tagged with the desi girl images
instead combine elements of ethnic and western fashion to come across as a
global fashionista who is proud of her Indian heritage and hence shows off the
best of Indian ethnic fashion sensibilities with her everyday western wear. An
example of this look is to match your casual crop tops with a lehenga. Another great trend this upcoming season is to
go fully desi with a statement piece that shows off the global girl in you. One
way to pull off this look is the sari and blazer combination. This is purely
for occasional and festive dressing however when you walk in to a wedding
wearing a gorgeous sari with a blazer thrown on, you are bound to be the
trendiest person in the room. Continue to team up your denims with trendy
ethnic kurtis for casual every day wear. That is one powerful yet casual
combination that is here to stay for a while. What can we say; old habits die
hard.
Anarkali Suits are
back
Yes the traditional Indian Anarkali suit which is one of the
great fashion contributions of the Mughal era in India is back. Be inspired by
Deepika Padukone in Bajirao Mastaani, who often looked resplendent in georgette Anarkali suits in the movie.
Smartly borrow from her look in the film and add chunky pieces of silver
jewelry and outfits that boast of oversized floral patterns and embroidery as
ultra-feminine fashion elements are the rage this season. Definitely keep your
androgynous outfits away for a while.
Cover yourself up
While the summers may seem like a good reason to take out
your denim shorts and crop tops, its best to strategically use ethnic wear to
cover yourself up. A crop top with a lehenga as mentioned before would go a
long way to keep you looking fashion forward. Saris with long sleeved blouses
or blazers are very much in rage. One good thing that comes from these trends
is that you won’t get terribly tanned this summer.
Hair and Makeup
Summer make up is always minimal. That’s one trend that
hasn’t changed in a while. Kohl lined eyes, nude lips and a dab of bronzer for
evening wear should do just fine. Hair trends this season are very retro. Be
inspired by Adele or opt for the traditional Indian braids.
