ETHNIC WEAR TRENDS
By Minakshi Pharswal
Since fusion is in, you’d need to know how to wear ethnic clothes with a twist.
There is nothing new in the current trend of wearing a palazzo or cigarette pant
with a straight-cut Kurti. Muslim ladies are doing it since ages, it’s just that the
‘sharara’ (flared pant that looks like a skirt) has been replaced by a slimmer
avatar, palazzo. But the trend is definitely ‘fusion’, and is liked by all age
groups. Hence proven! Doing ethnic with a twist is the flavor of the season. So,
how to achieve that perfect quasi-desi look? What elements should be kept
under consideration? Let’s help you out with Indian ethnic wear trends for
women.
THE ELEGANCE-
PERSONIFIED LOOK
This is tried-and-tested style.
Pick a flattering long kurti in
silk or cotton-silk and go for
a printed palazzo. Kalamkari
print or tie-and-dye prints are
perfect. Colors like white,
indigo and green are in! You
can stand out in this look by
using bright make-up. Don’t
forget to put a bindi.
