Always remember, you are gorgeous, no matter what. So, whatever you’ll wear, you’ll look your best. Let’s try some of the below mentioned fashion fundas!

Co-ords for Diwali

It would be a sin if I won’t mention it first, they have not my but everyone’s heart. If you will walk around the street and go for some local shopping, I’m sure you won’t find a single shop where you won’t find Co-ords hanging on their mannequin. As they look they are super comfy and comes in varieties of pattens, designs, color and cloth combinations.

Even though they are available everywhere they are not at all common due to their vast range. You can opt for muslin, silk or satin fabric for the best traditional and festive look.

If you’re considering wearing something for the evening when you’ll be lighting fireworks, it’s important to be mindful of your choice. In this scenario, opting for cotton co-ords would be the ideal decision. Cotton co-ords not only offer comfort but also provide a level of safety during the festive activities.

Silk co-ord for Diwali

Go Indo-Western traditionally

How about mixing and matching a traditional saree with a top and belt? You can also try draping your saree a bit differently than the conventional Sidha and Ulta pallu. It looks smart and differently beautiful. Don’t hesitate, give this look a try.

I’m in love with pant suits

This peach coloured co-ords looks amazing, super comfy and most stylist. It is something different than dress or saree. So rock this Diwali in this self designed trouser and pant set!

This blazer suit dress will look amazing for outing with your friends or your office diwali party. It is even one of the top most Indian ethnic fashion trends.

Cold-shoulders are hot

Try some cold-shoulder dresses. Hey! Don’t worry, cold-shoulders are very much in vouge and will keep your fashion quotient warm this season. Nonetheless, cold-shoulder dresses are quirky yet beautiful. So, regardless of your own style, you can give it a try for sure.

Short Kaftan Kurta with Pants

Fuchsia is a perfect festive color. Kaftan is so much in trend this season. So what else could be a better indo western combination than a kaftan and pants.

Heavy Khaki Jacket Over a Ganji or a Camisole

An original Ritu Kumar design, this one makes you swoon, does not it? It definitely makes us ponder, whether do we need to follow the Holy Grail of sarees and anarkalis. A camisole or simple black sleeveless top, adorned with a heavy embellished jacket, is the dapper diwali girl I aspire to be!

Do the other way around

A peplum dress, which is also something else… maybe a Kurti or choli. Confused, right? Can you wear any particular dress in multiple ways? Well, who says you cannot? Of course, you can. See the picture given above and you’ll have your answers!

No more commonplace

Patialas and chust payjamas are so very commonplace. It’s the time to adorn dhotis and pants, the best combo of style and tradition ever! These are comfortable and smart, they are the perfect choice. Blue is the color associated with calmness, but this stunning dhoti set right here, is sure to create chaos. It is provided by Vasaas.

You go girl

Are you feeling like jumping to the jumpsuit parade? Umm… great sense of fashion, indeed! These dresses are easy-going and comfortable to slip-into. So, once you get inside these, just enjoy.

If you are like me, who wants her clothing light and comfortable, even if the festive rulebook says otherwise, this minimalistic jumpsuit is what you have been waiting for. You can add fancy jhumkas or dangling bracelets, with a garland in your hair to complete the look

Always in, never out – Jackets!

No matter what! Jackets will never go out-of-fashion. Put it over a nicely draped saree or a skirt and you are sorted. Right from a denim jacket to a silken one, jackets are the best accessories, if you know how to carry these well.

Minimal is beautiful

A crop top with a minimalist lehenga. What else do you need to kill this Diwali. It’s traditional and again it’s modern. Simply put, this combination rocks. So, no matter what, you can slay in these.

Torch all the eyes

A loose t-shirt or a sheer chiffon top with a stunning lehenga are all you need to burn the dance floor. Pastel shades can do the justice for sure. So, what are you waiting for? Go get yourself right away!

Floral is Fun

Adding some lively flowers to your Diwali Party, not only makes it less boring, it also gives you a fresher, dewy touch. I especially adore this off shouldered, embroidered, net chaniya choli .

Embrace your body

Besides being comfortable and free-flowing, maxi dresses somehow manage to weave the magic. If you are low-key, then a maxi dress is all you need. A solid-colored maxi dress no matter if you are curvy or not curvy will make your glow on the festival of light. You can this elegant, green one at affordable rates, at Flipkart.

Go sassy, no messy

Looking for something fuss-free yet sassy? How about pairing a beautiful chiffon saree with a jegging? It’s a great idea especially if you want to keep your look as minimal yet stunning as possible. Go grab your piece now!

Go light, go serene

A lehenga, that’s light-weight yet heavenly. So, basically you can go for a no-so-heavy traditional lehenga in shades of off-white, pastel pink or green and you are good to go. It will make you look gorgeous while keeping your grounded to traditions.

White is the new color

What could make you look the most beautiful other than a chic white saree? If minimalist defines your style, then the color white will never put you down. Maybe your fairy tale will get one of it’s missing protagonists, your prince charming!

Shirt your beauty out

A shirt-top with a free-flowing skirt. Yay! It’s very much yes. Whether you are a girlie girl or a tomboy, this style is going to suit you perfectly. Also, it’s very much trending among the beauties of the B-Town, as well.

Shararti Sharara Set

Sharara dresses are a personal favorite of mine. This cotton candy beauty by Bunaai , has my entire heart. Though Shararas look lovely with any sleeve length, a sleeveless fitted one has its own charm. I think its because as the pants are more loose, a fitted top helps maintain the entire balance of the outfit 🙂

Another one for the Sharara lovers, this mystical babe blue piece with colorful dupatta, defines dignity does not it? Those diamond shaped jhumkas complete the look, omitting the hassle of multiple jewelry. You can check this out at Nykaa

I wore similiar one the last Diwali

Sheer Dress is Sheer Pleasure!

Mesh is one trend millennials and Gen Z, both, agree upon. It is sexy, but not in a too obvious or revealing way. You don’t want your Diwali dress to be tantalizingly hot, but it does not have to be boring silk sarees either. Gladly, Myntra has the perfect fit for that.

Tradition with a Twist

Anything Neon is already enough to grab everyone’s eyeballs, add the one shouldered tunic and Voila, you are the unofficial showstopper of the event. How can an outfit look so comfortable, yet sensual at the same time, is something I cannot wrap my head around.

The Classy Three Piece Suit

For the working professionals, who are a bit too much in the habit of wearing a jacket to their board meetings, this festive shrug styled suit is a delight, is not it? Well, I am not going to refuse this one either. Stylish and won’t let you go cold in the unpredictable November? Sounds like a deal 😉

Here are some more beautiful indo-western dresses you can wear this Diwali

Hello! Beautiful ladies!

So, these are some of the latest and trending Indo-Western dress ideas that you can try this Diwali. However, what makes your look more beautiful is the light within you. So, keep that burning and the rest will take care of itself. Besides these fusion dress ideas, you can try much more designs and styles. It’s all up to you, how you carry a dress and how you carry yourself.

If you are confident, if you know what you need, you’ll definitely rock it.

10 White Sarees for Indian Independence Day

Independence Day isn’t far away — India is completing 75 years of independence this year. And what better outfit fits this occasion more than the much-loved saree! All around the country, from schoolgirls to elderly women, a white saree sparks feelings of enthusiasm, peace and love. Adding the national colours — saffron, green and blue makes it the outfit of choice for Independence Day functions.

Just a note for those who are concerned: The Indian parliament passed a law in 2015 that allows you to wear the national flag and associated colours on dresses, costumes and uniforms, as long as you do it in a respectable manner.

So we girls can show our patriotism and love for India with saffron, white, green and blue! Here’s a small but interesting collection of Tiranga-pattern sarees that will give you some ideas on what to wear this August 15th:

Price: ₹2850

Buy from: Suta

4. White Butti Work Khadi Cotton Handloom Saree

This amazing tri-coloured saree comes with a matching blouse. While it’s also great for a White Days in official settings, it instantly inspires patriotic feelings due to its khadi cotton handloom fabric. You can take this as a default choice for Independence Day.

Although this saree has all the colours of the National Flag, it doesn’t look specially crafted for Independence Day; you can easily wear it at your usual functions and parties. This multi-purpose pattern combined with the price makes it an ideal choice, if you ask me.

Price: ₹849

Buy from: Peachmode

7. Independence Cotton Saree for Twinning

If you’re looking for a cool saree to wear on any given day of the year — not just Independence Day — then this is a perfect choice. It’s floral pattern and side green border give it unique look that makes it a great fit for any occasion from business lunch to anniversary dinner.

The extremely light cotton impressed me the most. The light weight makes this saree easy to carry, especially when you’re attending a function where you’re given some duties and responsibilities.

The only thing I didn’t appreciate, especially since this is from a common site like Myntra, is that this saree does not come with a blouse piece. I’m not sure why they aren’t providing a blouse piece — a matching blouse piece is the norm these days, online or offline. Having said that, if you’re someone like me who always wears mix-and-match blouse-saree combinations, it won’t be a big deal for you. You can match it with any cotton, velvet, plain or fancy blouse that has any of the colours of the national flag. I think it will look amazing if you team it up with a green or orange coloured blouse.

Price: ₹2700 – currently out of stock

Buy from: Myntra

Stay Patriotic, Stay Beautiful

While we Indians celebrate a ton of festivals and functions for our family, friends and religion with a variety of traditional and modern outfits, it’s time we gave the same importance to national festivals like Independence Day and Republic Day. With these graceful and chic sarees, you can make the Tiranga a centre-piece of your wardrobe. Go unfurl your saree this Independence Day!

I would surely want to add Pant suits in this years trend. They are super comfy and looks classy.

8) Dhoti Pants and Kurta

Dhoti pants, also known as dhoti trousers or dhoti salwar, are a modern variation of the traditional dhoti worn in India. Dhoti pants are usually made from lightweight fabrics such as cotton or silk so they are very easy to carry. Today, dhoti-style outfits are worn for festivals, weddings and parties as well. This fusion of Kurti and Dhoti pants is quite something and makes quite a statement.

9) Peplum Top with Sharara

Peplum tops with Shararas give quite a look. When worn correctly, it can yield diminutive waistlines and elongated figures. Worn poorly, it can lead to exaggerated hips and unnecessary bulk.

This Kurti style is in fashion these days. Paired with a Sharara, you are good to go for any function. For an everyday look, wear this Kurti style with a pair of jeans.

12) Shirt Style Kurtis

This is Kurti style defines comfort and the best option for jeans lovers! You can wear it casually and over a Sharara for any function or a party.

For a casual day, wear a solid, plaid, and such kinds of A-line Kurti with a pair of leggings and for a party, it can be worn with palazzo pants, dhoti pants, or cigarette pants to give a more sophisticated and well put-together look. To complete the look, add a pair of heels and heavy studs.

14) Salwar Kurta

This is a staple in many traditional wardrobes and when worn, should have a maximum impact with minimum effort. Be versatile with your bottoms and salwar Kurtis provides us that.

15) Chiffon/ Georgette Kurtis & Dresses

9 Nights, 9 Colors – The Captivating Charm of Navaratri

India is known for its colorful and vibrant festivals, and Navaratri is one of them. As the name suggests, Navaratri stands for nine nights. Celebrated across India for centuries, Navaratri is a festival to honor the divine mother, the deity, and the all-pervading power of feminism. There are a number of scriptures that praise the magnificence and splendor of Devi Durga and communicate tales of her victories.

The 9-colors of Navaratri and you

Navaratri is one of the biggest festivals in India and is celebrated with great devotion and gusto. People from all parts of India worship the nine avatars of the deity and enjoy their hearts out during the festival. As with all the Indian festivals, there are many rituals associated with Navaratri too. During the nine days of the festival, nine different incarnations of the Goddess are worshiped. And, each of them epitomizes a different color, which makes it nine different colors. It is considered that wearing that very color on that very day is a good omen and brings good luck. No wonder why, India looks so colorful and vivacious during the nine nights of Navaratri.

Now that this beautiful festival is about to knock on your doors, your wardrobe is probably getting ready for it. The pandal hopping, the scintillating Garba nights, the drool-worthy food, and ultimate fun and frolic, you want to slay with your gorgeous looks each day, every time, right? As far as fashion ideas for Navaratri are concerned, you can never ever afford to do without an elegant and dazzling Chaniya Choli. In fact, it is the dress code for most Garba arcades.

Are you looking for some mesmerizing, beautiful, and breathtaking Chaniya Choli designs this Navaratri? The grandeur and beauty of Chaniya Cholis to be adorned during the nine utterly mesmerizing nights of Navaratri lies in its one-of-its-kind work and colors. Let’s check out some of the latest and unique Chaniya Choli Designs you can adorn this Navaratri –

Red is the color of power

Day-one of Navaratri, the Pratipada, is marked by the color red and epitomizes strength and action. This lehenga choli decked with minimal, yet gorgeous mirror-work all over the body of the lehenga and choli and a beautiful matching dupatta embellished with a continuous thread of mirrors will add bling to your look on a festive night.

When energy and serenity come together

Dwitiya, the day-two is denoted by the color of energy and tranquillity, blue. So, you can try wearing a navy-blue art silk lehenga enhanced with beautiful gold foil prints paired with a magnificent yellow choli and magenta jacket to look as vibrant as your spirits during Navaratri. Tinted in perfect color combinations, this chaniya choli is lovely and out-of-the-box for this Navaratri.

Be a Braveheart, experiment with Yellow on the third day!

Tritiya, the third day of Navaratri is observed as the deity’s beauty and bravery and is symbolized by the color yellow. Something like this yellow Kathiyawadi chaniya choli, inspired by rural India topped with a backless blouse with colorful and intricate embroidery and plain blue dupatta is the best choice for you. Add some oxidized silver jewelry and you are ready to kill.

Be you, be as bright as green

Chaturthi, the fourth day of Navaratri, is symbolized by the vibrant color, green. If you don’t like too much work on your lehenga, this dress is for you. A perfect combination of solid-green lehenga bordered with black brings out the best contrast. You can either wear it with a matching embroidered blouse, or a simple white shirt. Pair it with some traditional Gujarati jewelry, and you are ready to go.

Grey isn’t necessarily boring

When it comes to Panchami, the fifth day of Durga Puja, the grey is the color of ferociousness and a mother’s inner strength. You can adorn this simple, yet beautiful traditional Gujarati lehenga choli if you long to stand out from the regular. Go all elusive in this grey color lehenga paired with mix and match blouse embellished with mirror and thread work.

Flaunt the diva in you in Orange

Sashthi, the 6th day of Navaratri is marked by the color orange. Slay in a dual-tone traditional Gujarati lehenga made up of lightweight crepe fabric with simple Zari border. You can team it up with a pastel green choli with minimal embroidery work and embellishments on the arms and around the neckline. A pristine orange yoke with simple motifs is more than enough to make you look gorgeous.

Look peacefully gorgeous in White

The seventh of Navaratri, Saptami, is represented by the color white. Try this flamboyant white printed lehenga bordered with a solid navy-blue block and colorful tassels around. Adorn this no dupatta look with a multi-color thread and mirror-worked navy-blue choli and be the talk of the town to feel the seventh heaven.

Bang on your fashion sense with Pink

Whose says fusion wear doesn’t look traditional? Drape in an Indo-western Chaniya Choli this Navaratri’s Ashtami, the eighth day, in a solid pink lehenga with a plain zari border, teamed with an off-shoulder yellow blouse with a multi-color ornamental strap and pine green dupatta. Dab in some kajal and put in some oxidized silver ornaments and you’re good to go.

Look naturally beautiful in light blue colour

On the last day of Navaratri, Navami, although your heart gets heavy, the feeling that the goddess will revisit in the very next year, all over again, gives you a reason to smile and enjoy.

Navratri Trends to Look Out For in 2022

Navratri is a festival close to my heart. Garba and the confectionaries are partly the cause of it, but there is something most people overlook – “Feminisim”. You were not expecting that one, did you? The auspicious festival of Navratri is actually celebrated to rejoice over the defeat of the demon “Mahishasura” who was granted immortality by Lord Brahma. The only catch being, that he could be defeated by a woman. Assuming it was beneath any female to outwit him, Mahishasura created a havoc not only at Earth, but in heaven as well. It was Goddess Durga who finally lead to his downfall. An authentic story on the power women carry, and a one men often ignore, is not it?

But I would not get into the controversial topic of Feminism today. Rather what I have to bring to the table, shall stir every woman’s interest. This blog shall enlist trends in Navratri outfits and jewelry that you can look out for, while you are off Navratri Shopping

1. Shell Jwellery

Shell jwelleries are much in trend this year. It looks elegant as well as affordable. Sometimes they are heavy if shells are in more quantities, rest it looks classy.

2. Colorful Handmade Thread Navratri Jewellery

Handmade jewellery made out of thread, mirrors and shells or ginis looks very very beautiful as well as super comfy. As I mentioned they are mostly made by threads so are light weight. So twirl this navratri in this eye grabbing piece and feel like feature.

3. Pom-Pom Earrings

Fashion trends change before one can snap their fingers. But, something about changing trends is exciting. Like how the world whipped Dalgona coffee together, it sort of gives a unified feeling to the whole. In the fashion community, Pom-Pom earrings are doing the trick. Not just India, these lightweight earrings are trending around the globe. A- They are eye catchy. B- They will never weigh your earlobes down like the jhumkas might do. C- Well, sometimes you don’t need a C, they are just in the trend!

4. Mirrored Necklace

The mirror on the wall, might lie about your beauty but the mirrors on a string wrapped around your neck, are bound to alleviate it. Mirrors are not contemporary, they have been accessorized long ago; but something about them still looks utterly lovely.

5. Authentic Kedia in Stylish Black

“Old is Gold” they say. And they are right. No matter how progressive or innovative we become in the way we celebrate Navratri, Kedia shall always remain a timeless trend that people will still follow.

6. Teal Printed Pant Suit

Once, you start wearing the pants, there is no going back to those long skirts that one might trip into. Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop makes your work easier, by providing an excellent range of such Indo-Western options. If you are specifically interested in Indo-Western alternatives for Chanya Choli, you can find more creative options here.

7. Oxidized Baju-Bandh

This accessory is somewhat of a Navratri special, as we rarely wear it outside of the nine dancing days. It is so antique and quaint as a piece of jewelry, one is charmed to pair it up with their #OOTD, whether that might be the typical chaniya choli or a simple kurti that needs embellishment.

8. A Sexy Headgear – Mathhapai

Gosh, look at the bedecked headgear that lies on the beautiful lady’s forehead. One simple accessory and her entire face is illuminating. Nykaa remains to stun us every single time.

9. Wrap Dress

This Patola printed cotton wrap dress, is so delicately made. It contains no nuisances associated with draping of a saree or a dupatta. Adorned with simple but classy flats, I think the entire look in a word, is demure. For uncomplicated dresses like these, a complex braid can balance the look, maybe something like a mermaid braid. For more Navratri hairstyles, you can check out our other blog post that consists of easy, doable looks 🙂

10. Dhoti Set

Everything goes up a notch, when Radhika Apte is in it; but this floral dhoti set is truly gorgeous on its own too, is not it? Dhoti suits are the talk of the town. They can be recycled from a well-considered Wedding buy to a last minute Navratri outfit.

11. Orange Printed Trench Coat

We know what you are thinking. That is aesthetic but how in the world is she supposed to dance with so many layers on? Don’t worry the scarf or the cloth attached at the front of her neck is not a part of the outfit. Only the shrug seeming long overcoat, is what we are attempting to suggest. Paired with a black ganji and simple denim, it would be a comfortable, funky outfit that still encultures the essence of Navratri. You can buy this exquisite item, here.

12. Kaftan Kurti with Pom-Poms

Teenu suit suit karta, oh teenu suit suit karda 😉 This girl might not be in a saree, but we cannot resist, as the Kaftan Kurta definitely suit karta. It is a tad plain looking, now we never denied that. But, add in some heavy jhumkas, or better, an authentic maang-tikka and the outfit is suddenly Instagram-worthy. A fancy pair of stilettoes are also a BIG yes.

13. Heavy Choker with a Simpler Dress

Such a classic combination, but it still works. On days you don’t want to waste much time determining what clothing goes with which accessory, remember the golden rule – A simple dress with a heavy choker necklace shall always work. A plunging neckline shall further let the neckpiece accentuate its effect. Jewelry, can turn an office outfit into a festive one.

14. Neon is the New Orange

Someone is who looking for a “Pop” effect, something that is bound to make their dress stand out from the crowd; should not hesitate twice before slipping into a Fuscia robe or a neon orange ghaghra. It is hip, it is different and it bound to make heads turn.

15. Statement Ring

Rings are weapons of beauty encircled around fingers. Size does not always matter, except here it does. A big statement ring can garnish even a plain outfit. As many Garba movements include rapid movements of hands, it draws attention to the graceful dancer and adds to her finesse and beauty

16. Flowy Kurta

The traditional chaniya-choli does have its own appeal, but it is itchy and time-consuming. After a tiring day at work, you just want to slip into something comfortable yet lovely. Well, thank God Ajio always manages to have the desired product right at hand.

So, we hope this post gave you a head-start into rocking the nine day Navratri everyone is waiting eagerly for. We might have nudged you in some direction, but remember, creativity is always individualistic and not so commonly imitated. Hence, do your own thing anyway.
