In India, the festival season officially starts in October. Around this time of year, in India, the lovely curls of the athletic model on the glossy magazine cover, the futuristic angular sleeve dress worn at a sundowner, or that Cleopatra gold shimmering eye make-up you saw your friend wear, all transform into Indie fusion festive trends. Here are 5 fashion trends to brush up on for this festive season, taken from the runways of the Indian and International Fashion Weeks 2022.
A Fashion Revamp
As we all know, “less is more” during the festive season. Choose versatile pieces that you can mix and match, such as a statement top that goes well with a skirt and jeans or a statement dupatta that can add flair to an understated ensemble.
For the Sake of Comfort
Who doesn’t enjoy a stylish kaftan? This year, thanks to celebrities who enthusiastically embraced this trend during the pandemic, they are actually making their way onto the festive fashion scene. They are loose, comfortable, and suitable for all body types. For festive occasions, kaftans with vibrant prints and one-shoulder variations are ideal. To really up your style, add a belt with embroidery or some chunky jewelry.
The Sleeve Says it All
Dramatic sleeves have undoubtedly become more popular this year in both Western and Indian clothing. Choose a top with some drama instead of something simple and accessorize the conventional way! There are many options, including huge ruffles, one-shoulder, capes, and butterfly sleeves.
As Versatile as a Jacket
Your clothing choices can benefit greatly from the flair that a vibrant, embroidered jacket can bring. A well-cut jacket, whether short or long, can add flair to basic anarkalis kurtas, and even dresses, particularly when colors are cleverly contrasted. However, what makes a jacket the best? Even a tee and jeans outfit can be improved by incorporating them into a Western wardrobe.
Win it with a Sharara
The sharara is one item that never seems to go out of style; it is an incredibly flattering trend for all body types. Choose statement-making pants to wear to family dinners. You can accessorize with funky accessories, a simple top, and a belt to complete the look. When attending a puja, wear your sharara with a kurta or an anarkali top for a more upscale look.
