With designers creating creative styles every day, it is almost impossible to not find something that goes with your personal style. Let’s check out some trends in Indo-Western that can be your style statement for this season:
Play Along with Crop Tops
If you are a Western outfits’ lover then you are definitely familiar with crop tops. Crop tops are a recent hit and they have the crowds by storm! These are basically standard blouses made a little short up to the midriff or even waist, however you prefer. The beauty of these tops is that you can pair these up with almost anything and everything. So why not drop those denims for now and try on some skirts or salwars and palazzos? Crop tops are available in such various varieties that you can find a perfect match for your old ghagra or full skirt. Put on a contrast dupatta and there you go! All Indian and stylish with the same comfort.
Dresses with Pants
The key to dressing up in Indo-Western dresses is playing with apparels in such a way that they create a perfect balance of both the silhouettes together. You can wear your flared or gathered dress with a loose pant and who could tell the difference? As shown in the image above, this is a fresh style to try while sticking to your personal taste. This look is comfy, quirky and can be tried for causal daily wear.
Sheer Fabrics
There is nothing exactly that makes sheer fabrics a style but it’s a fabric that is abundantly used in creating Indo-Western attire. Now this is a fabric that demands of a no-shy attitude so if you have that confidence in you then this is your pick! Fabrics like net and chiffon are hot favorites of designers in this category. These are used in jackets, kurtas, lehengas you name it! A sheer Eid salwar kameez like the one shown above is your shoe stopper look for that next party you are looking forward to. Embellishments like embroidery, stone work make these even more better. Now if you are not happy with a complete Indian ensemble then no worries, throw on an embellished net shrug over your usual tank top and denims and you’ll be ready to make heads turn.
Brocade Pants
Not only styles, you can also experiment with fabrics. Like net, as we mentioned before, brocade is also so ‘in’ this season that you would be surprised what all you can do with it! Brocade is that one fabric that’s got everything in it. It has Indian designs, weave and that mandatory bling all in one! Brocade pants can be amazingly paired with kurtas, jackets and tops. If you think a kurta is too Indian for your taste, try out a simple brocade pant with plain shirt or tank top and a tuxedo. If not brocade, you can go for simple jacquard fabrics as well. The oomph factor will be upped in the blink of an eye!
Frock Style Kurtas
If you have made up your mind to wear a kurta, why not twist it up a little? Frocks are never out of fashion and kurta is one mandatory Indian wedding dresses that you must have in your closet. Let’s mix them up together and you have the frock style kurta. Indian fabrics, Indian design and Indian salwar but a Western pattern, there you have it, a glamorous Indo-Western outfit perfect for those wedding functions that you got lined up. Soft fabrics like georgette, chiffon and satin are your best picks for this as they lend a flared flow to the style.
So, there you have your wardrobe ready for this season with all new styles that go with your personal flair and ethnicity as well. The basic thing to remember is balance, these mix matches can either make your look or break it so balance all the pieces together, what fabrics and colors flaunt your body type. Happy dressing!
