The Onam season is quickly approaching, so here are some wonderful fashion suggestions and practical advice for putting together chic and current ensembles that you may wear for not only Onam but also other ethnic or traditional celebrations.
Fun, food, festivals, and now fashion are all part of Onam. How many times have we questioned what to dress to an Onam celebration at school, the office, or with friends and family? The traditional Kerala saree, the Set Mundu (women), or a shirt & Mundu are what we end up donning most of the time (men). Or, at least, it was up until a few years ago!
Today, we observe that our customary and genuine clothing has developed a fashionable and stylish edge. You have a wide range of options when it comes to women’s Onam ethnic clothing because sarees today feature elaborate thread work, embellished motifs, or even embroidery. Designer blouses are also hugely popular right now! In addition to sarees, we also offer exquisitely crafted kurtas, skirts, and even crop tops that adhere to the Kerala or Onam theme and are simple to dress to create the ideal Onam costume.
Some of the top choices for fashionistas out there include:
Skirt With Choli
No salwars or sarees for you, then? Want to dress in something stunning and more modern? It’s a terrific idea to wear blouses and skirts with embellishments to look like traditional Kerala pattu pavada. You may choose different colors for the top and skirt, and add simple embellishments to make it look more ethnic and one-of-a-kind.
Kurta with Salwar
For those who aren’t too keen on wearing a kerala saree but yet want to attempt something cultural, salwars with kasavu are still another fantastic choice. Salwars can be tailored to your preferences; On the yoke portion of the salwars, you may experiment with adding basic mirror work, floral motifs, embroidery, or even Ikkat designs.
Zardozi Embroidered Saree
In the past, dhawanis, or half sarees, were a fashionable fad among young women. This outfit, which combines a saree and stunning embellishments, is perfect for individuals who desire the best of the fashion world.
Printed Georgette Saree
The most recent fashion trend is floral, whether it be in sarees, salwars, skirts, or dresses. In order to create a delicate yet attractive Onam outfit, floral motifs can now be scattered over even the most plain of Kerala sarees.
Embroidered Lehenga
Who said lehengas could only be worn on special occasions and had to be intricately adorned? A white and gold lehenga-style is appropriate for any occasion with a Kerala theme, especially an Onam celebration.
