A dress for every occasion

I love all kinds of dresses. They're so versatile and easy to carry. They come in hundreds of styles, patterns, materials and colors. There's a dress for every occasion!

Casual outing/Brunch date with friends

A knee-length dress in a light material is ideal for this occasion. It's fun and easy to move in. Pair it with some chunky wedges and a stack of chic bracelets for a cute, flirty look. A side-sling purse to carry your things in looks super cute with this outfit.

Beach

For a day at the beach, opt for long, flowy maxi dresses. I like to pair them with oversized sunglasses, a bright beach bag and cute flip flops. For jewelry, go with dangly feather earrings or long beaded necklaces. I also like to add bangles in metallic colors like silver, gold and bronze.

Semi-formal party

Go for a pretty lace dress with delicate detailing at the neckline or hem. Pair it with a statement necklace and add some oomph with dressy heels. I adore lace dresses. They give off a slightly vintage feel without being too traditional.

Formal dinner

A LBD is perfect for formal dinners. It doesn't have to really be 'little'. Longer dresses are equally flattering. Pair these with silver or gold jewelry and heels or wedges.

Traditional ceremonies (like a threading ceremony or engagement party)

For Indian ceremonies, most people go with traditional outfits like sarees, lehengas and salwar kameez. If you want something unique, a dress is a great option. Make sure the length is appropriate though.

I love long dresses with Indian motifs in bright colors. Pair them with minimal jewelry if the pattern is bold. For simpler dresses, add some statement pieces to glitz up your outfit.

Some brands which have gorgeous dresses with traditional prints are Global Desi, Fusion and Unlimited.
