WHY CHOOSE ETHNIC WEAR FOR CHRISTMAS?
We know ethnic outfits are not something many dare to wear on Christmas eve. However, this time come out of your comfort zone and try Indian outfits to rock your Christmas party. And as a matter of fact, indo-western outfits are a big YES! And we will use this element to add some rock punk to your look. Do not forget to add Christmas elements before leaving your home for the Christmas celebration.
TIPS TO CONSIDER FOR PERFECT CHRISTMAS ETHNIC WEAR
RIGHT COLOR
There is no mandatory rule to wear a specific color for Christmas. You are open to wearing any color that you want. But, many colors represent the true essence of Christmas. It includes explicitly golden, green, white, and red. To ensure that you look Christmas ready, don’t forget to add these colors. You can also choose the family shades of Christmas colors.
ADD A PUNCH OF INDIAN ELEMENTS
For those who do not prefer or like the idea of wearing a traditional Indian outfit on Christmas eve, this segment is for them. Instead, you can play around with adding some punch with Indian elements. When we say Indian elements, it could be a kurta, jacket, or a saree. For instance, try to pair a short black dress with an embroidered shrug or a brocade bottom with a tube top. One of the other ways this can be done is by wearing an Anarkali in Christmas colors or western silhouettes with a traditional churidar sleeve or neckline.
PLAY ALONG WITH MODERN SILHOUETTES
If you belong to a die-hard category of Indian silhouettes yet want to add a western flavor to your outfit, this segment will give you clarity. Add elements like a cape, trousers, culottes, victorian drapes, ruffles, peplum, abstract prints, and plunge V-neckline to your outfit. For instance, wear an Anarkali gown with an embroidered waist belt or a straight-fit kurta with ripped denim, palazzo pants, and finish the look with statement accessories.
THE MAGIC OF INDO-WESTERN OUTFITS
Indi-western outfits have had a great boom in the fashion industry for quite some time. This Christmas eve is not different. It’s time to make some rounds this Christmas with indo-western fusion. Dresses like kurta palazzo sets, Anarkali suits, dhoti pants, and kaftan pants give a contemporary feel and look edgy and comfy. Please do not keep yourself restricted with these silhouettes. The road to exploring silhouettes is endless. For instance, wear a traditional embroidered blouse with dhoti pants or high waist pants or add a cape to a modern drape with contrast accessories.
LESS IS MORE
Sometimes less is more! Often adding many small elements can make the overall look clumsy. And it’s indeed hard to mix the Christmas vibe with traditional Indian outfits. Therefore, to stand out, you must emphasize one particular element rather than blindly infusing elements. For instance, chunky statement accessories won’t look good with a heavy sequin or embroidered saree or wearing loud, and neon colors are a big NO! Instead, go for a subtle look with chunky accessories or a printed saree with minimal makeup and a simple hairstyle. A monochrome look will make you stand out.
SEQUINS WILL DO WONDER
There is nothing more Christmas-y than adding a sparkly flavor to your Christmas outfit. After all, they have the power to pull up a plain outfit to another level. There are many ways you can add sequin to your Christmas looks, such as wearing a sequin trouser, jacket, tube top, Anarkali, kurta, or footwear.
