Dressing up for the New Brides
This Diwali, the big trend is to go minimalistic and style your ensemble with lots of accessories. It’s not about going heavy. No flowing dupattas or yards of fabric. You can pick a maxi dress with Indian appeal and team it up with a chudidar.
If you’re going to attend a formal event such as Diwali puja look stylish with a simple saree or classic lehenga and team it up with a smart brooch. But if it’s a fun party, Indian wear with a funky modern twist would definitely add to your glamour quotient. And you being the newlywed bride you are going to be the cynosure of all eyes,
so you could opt for a smart ethnic waist coat to go well with your plain bright kurta or wear a smart patiala with a short kurti and traditional waist coat. This is festive and also very chic and comfortable for the occasion. Keep it simple this season and get over heavy embellishment, bling and over decoration to make a style statement. Instead of the heavy duppatas, try a silk scarf to brighten up your dress.
If you are planning to go ahead with the anarkali, keep away from those layers of fabric and ghera. Opt for something with less volume with discreet trims that add length and look better. The best part about the Anarkali is that is festive and always makes you look dressed up traditionally.
Dressing up for the Guys
Be a trend setter and get into the festive spirit by wearing smart ethnic clothes. Ethnic need not be boring. Just wearing a kurta will not do. Coordination is the key to right dressing.
For the guys, a simple ethnic Nehru collared kurta paired up with a churidaar styled with a striking scarf will complete the ready-to-party for Diwali look. You can also team up your kurta with a bandi which is a waist coat with Chinese collar. Let the kurta be less ostentatious with tastefully done up embroidery.
