Eid Clothing Styles: From Salwar Kameez to Kurti Sets
On the happy occasion of Eid, it’s all about meeting and having a fabulous time with your loved ones. While doing so, you want to make sure that you are wearing your finest garments. When it comes to options, some of the classic ones are salwar kameez, anarkali, sharara and gharara sets, kurta and kurti sets, sarees and eid lehenga. You can experiment with these fail-safe ethnic pieces by choosing different colors or patterns. In case of salwar kameez, you can go for an asymmetrical style that features uneven hemlines and chic cuts to add a dash of drama in your ethnic look. For the ones who love to stun everyone with their style, they can go for sequined kurti paired with sharara and dupatta.
To add a twist in the ethnic ensemble, you can opt for dhoti pants, harem pants to palazzos instead of the usual salwar. Add a modern edge to the salwar kameez by selecting them in cape-style or jumpsuit-inspired cut. For the much-loved lehengas, you can go for a structured silhouette instead of heavy flare for easy movement for long hours. If you want an extravagant look, you can opt for mermaid-style lehenga.
While white, ivory and blush pink have been choices of the Bollywood divas, you can choose other pastels such as lilac, mint green, or even powder blue. If you are tired of the usual designs, look for applique work, cut dana, threadwork or pearl embroidery. To have the best of both worlds, choose the trending lehenga sarees that merge both the ageless apparel types. You can also go for vividly coloured silk lehengas adorned with heavy gold or silver brocade. If you are a fan of the ever-loved sarees, you can select them in luxurious silks such as banarasi, Chanderi, Bhagalpuri, or Kalamkari.
All of them are distinct from each other yet display true Indian grace. The organza, crepe or chiffon sarees could be your bet to look heavenly. Sarees in mirror or gota work; batik or ikat print can be perfect to stand out from the sea of usual sarees wearers. Abaya style suits are very popular among women for their modest yet lavish look. These salwar suits precisely fit from the top to waist and flared at the lower end. Inspired from Islamic abaya dresses, Abaya salwar kameez are floor-length suits with an Indian ethnic touch.
