Wedding season is here and so is that time of the year when you cannot say no to a good brunch with the girl gang and the night party with cousins and friends. Besides, you simply cannot avoid hopping to and from the office between all this. While the hectic schedule might ruin your sleep and routine a little, it must absolutely not force you to compromise on style, isn’t it?
If you already feel baffled and confused about what to do, worry not. We would love to help! If there is one clothing from your wardrobe that would be perfect for this time, it has to be designer salwar kameez, isn’t it? After all, the salwar kameez offers you the benefits of all-day comfort, trendsetting style and adorable grace all at the same time. What more could a woman ask for when it comes to dressing up for any occasion?
Astonishing as it may sound, the conventional salwar kameez can be styled, using just a few hacks and tips, into multiple styles. Each is as different from another as would be when compared to other items of clothing. Depending on the statement that you want to set and the place or time you are wearing it to, you can work out several styles yourself. Let us help you with a few.
- The Day Look/ Brunch Time
Your gang of girlfriends has forced you to come with them to a brunch or a coffee date late morning the next day, and you sit with your face in your palms in front of the wardrobe repeating the I-have-nothing-to-wear chant.
Simply pick out the pastel-shaded salwar kameez duo or the one with some chikankari elaboration on a white or pastel base. Wear your hair down after blow-drying it, and make sure you keep the dress mono-toned from top to bottom. Grab a pair of oxidized earrings large enough to peep out from within the open hair.
Go for winged eyeliner and nude lips, and add a puff of blush for the cheery yet light look. Pair the dress with flats – ones with traditional embellishments would work best. Do not forget to carry your dupatta well – wear it across the shoulders, high on the neck, for completing the chirpy, innocent look.
- The Dinner Party/Pre-Wedding Functions
The night party would call for a little boldness compared to the day. Fling your wardrobe open and pop out any salwar kameez sets you own in feisty colours. Keep very large patterns at bay, and go for the more intricately detailed ones. Stones? Good. Embroidery? Good. Lace? No, wouldn’t work very well. Colours? Blues, greens, yellows or anything bright and beautiful.
Remember to pair up the pretty dress with some bold accessories as well. Go for anklets and bracelets for an added charm. You can try pairing a Patiyala Dress with a kamarbandh for added accentuation. Go for heavy eyes and a dash of pop on the lips. Coming to the hair, there are several styles you could go for – try different braids, try a half knot or even curls while letting your hair down for the evening. The glamour added by the salwar kameez is incomparable.
- The Office Look/Site-seeing
For this one, you do not want to go very heavy either on your looks or the apparel. Especially when it comes to workwear there are a number of other factors that come into play – the ability to carry the look for about ten to twelve hours, the benefit of no hassles to dress up because of your early morning spree and the ability to transform the look into a peppy one in case there is an unannounced party or treat!
Well, the salwar kameez is the perfect fit when it comes to all these requisites and much more. Not just office wear, this would be an ideal look if you are going site-seeing with your friends or family or simply because of fieldwork. Keep the look simple and sweet – go for cool plain colours. There is no need for pop in the entire look because you want to keep it sober.
Next, complete the look with minimalistic accessories. Go for either very small earrings or none at all. Slide a delicate watch up to your wrist and semi-heels on your feet. Keep your hair tied into a pony or a loose bun, or just let it down if you are comfortable enough and your hair is sleek. Wear the no-makeup makeup look and feel light, fresh and airy from head to toe.
Grabbing a pair or more
These days no one has the time to browse through multiple shops at even the local market to choose what to wear. Besides, you might not want a particular piece in the colour of your choice or your size and would have to wait long before the perfect one comes in stock. This is the reason it is probably best to switch online in your quest of the perfect Salwar Kameez pair. Just remember to keep in mind where you would want to wear the look too. Go get yours now!
