Rakshabandhan is here
and what better time to flaunt your desi outfits? Dress to impress this Rakhi
with a few of my tips…
If you're celebrating at home
For a day time rakhi
event at home, wear pastels and light weight outfits. I love the Indo-western
combination of breezy solid colored palazzo pants and a short, fitted kurti.
Pair the two pieces in contrasting colors and add heavy oxidized bangles and jhumkis
to glam it up. Color pairings that look amazing :
- Red and deep blue
- Parrot green and magenta
- Orange and black
- Gold with anything
Stick to darker colors
on the palazzos if you're a little bottom-heavy and vice versa.
For a night time
celebration at home, wear an outfit with slightly darker hues with details like
stone work or sequins. A maxi skirt with a crop top and dupatta is perfect. Add
sparkle with a statement necklace and stacked bangles.
If you're going out
For lunch, the same
rules apply : wear summery colors- bright pink, purple, blue and accent with
metallics. I love a traditional salwar kameez paired with an indian jacket
instead of a dupatta. Keep it chic with dainty earrings and a sling purse.
For evening events,
opt for a flowy anarkali or go fusion with dark wash denims, a tank and a
jacket with an ethnic print. Add a long chain necklace with a funky pendant and
finish the look with sleek heels or ankle boots. For a more relaxed outfit, go
with a dress - mid-length or maxi with Indian motifs. I love maxi dresses by
Global Desi. Pair these with some earrings and a bracelet and you're outfit is
complete!
Have a great
Rakshabandhan!
