Indo-western fashion
is one of my go-tos whenever I have to attend an Indian festivity which is not
so very traditional. I even work this trend in college for some change in my
regular western wardrobe. Ananya is the probably the best icon to follow if you
want to get this look. Her style echoes her free spirit and her clothes have a
bright colorfulness that can make a mundane outfit stand out.
Long skirts with Indian prints paired with western
tops and T-shirts
This is my favorite
look in the whole movie. Ananya pairs printed, flowy maxi skirts with solid
colored tanks and tees. She wears chunky jewelry like big earrings and stacks
of bangles to pull her outfit together. Look for ethnic skirts with a solid
color with a large border or printed skirts with vibrant patterns. Pair these
with contrasting tops, stacked bracelets or bangles and chunky wedges.
Short kurtis and shorts
I can hear you going
"WHAT?", but it does really seem to work. In the movie, Ananya pairs
a short blue kurti with denim cut-offs and totally owns that look. This look is
not for the faint-hearted. If you're hesitant in incorporating this outfit into
your daily wardrobe, save it for beach outings or places where the temperature
is high. If you don’t want to show too much skin, pair the look with knee-high
boots for a bohemian twist.
Ethnic kurtis
This is more on the
Indian side, but her kurtis do have contemporary necklines and designs. Pair
these with heavy earrings and you're all set! Look for different styles like
short, medium and super long(which is the current trend). Wear these with
leggings, patialas, salwars and jeans for a huge array of outfits. You can mix
and match dupattas, stoles and short ethnic jackets for a trendy vibe.
Sarees
Super bright sarees
with traditional designs are Ananya's thing. She wears the traditional Chennai
silk sarees in bold, youthful colors like hot pink, blue, green and yellow. If
you have an occasion to donne a saree, take inspiration from Ananya and don’t
be afraid to wear a Kanjeevaram saree. Pleat the pallu and drape it across your
shoulder in a single, thin patch rather than opening it up.
Jewelry
Ananya wears a lot
of chunky bracelets, necklaces and earrings. She wears jhumkis multiple times
in the movie as well as a lot of statement pieces like hoops with colorful
stones set into them and traditional gold earrings for her saree looks.
So the next time you
have to wear ethnic, it doesn't have to be the same old outfit.
