Your wardrobe may be brimming with the trendiest western wear from the most leading brands, but there’s something intrinsically charming about Indian ethnic wear. Therefore, make sure that you have these five ethnic staples in your wardrobe. You never know when it’ll come in handy.
1) Kurtis
Take a break from wearing T-shirts, tops, and tunics and opt for a kurti instead. They look great paired with jeans, palazzos, skirts and of course, regular pyjamas. Pair Kurtis with wide bottom pants to successfully achieve that boho look. Kurtis also doubles as cover-ups for bikinis so don’t forget to pack a few for a weekend getaway at the beach.
2) Salwar sets
A well-crafted salwar kameez (with matching dupatta and bottoms) is a brilliant addition to your wardrobe. You can wear it for Indian festivals, parties, and office ethnic days. An elegant salwar set can even be worn to formal dinners in lieu of evening gowns.
3) Sarees
Every Indian woman deserves to have at least one gorgeous silk saree in her wardrobe. Like salwar sets, you can wear a saree to many events. Take good care of your silks, and you can wear it throughout your life and even pass it on to future generations. If you want to show off your edgy style, you can team cotton sarees with crop tops, tees, and shirts and accessorize with sneakers or boots!
4) Pyjamas and churidars
An Indian wardrobe isn’t complete without the appropriate bottoms for your kurtas and kurtis. Yes, you can wear your kurtis with jeans and jeggings, but it looks more elegant and complete when you switch to dhoti-style pyjamas or churidars. Buy a few in neutral shades to go with a wide range of kurtis.
5) Blouses
As mentioned above, a saree can be worn with tees, shirts and crop tops. However, its charm shines through when you pair it with a pretty blouse. Therefore buy a blouse or two or get them stitched as per your specifications and keep them around – we promise they’ll be put to good use soon.
As a general rule, pick classic pieces in neutral shades if you’re not planning to wear these pieces too often. Alternatively, you can select pieces in your favorite shade and make it part of your signature look.
