Go desi:

While rich Indian shades as well soft pastel colours both are high on demand this year, considering the summer heat, the latest addition in festive segment is a hint of bling with gota-patti and mirror handwork. For a statement look, you can opt for an Anarkali suit adorned with Gota Patti work for a regal and feminine look. The flowing silhouette of an Anarkali paired with the intricate embellishments of Gotta Patti creates a stunning ensemble that is both graceful and elegant.

On the other hand, a kurti or tunic adorned with mirror work is a versatile and stylish option and can be layered with a jacket as well. Whether you choose a long, flowy silhouette or a more fitted style, the addition of mirror work adds a playful and festive touch to your ensemble.

Staple silhouettes:

It’s common to see accents of newer styles, yet the traditional silhouettes remain the timeless favourites. During Ramadan, the interest draws towards festive hues, from peaches, pinks to dark greens, allowing individuals to build on their own moods. These shades are particularly loved by the younger demographic and travel through all age groups, says Sagrika Rai, founder and creative designer of the fashion label Warp 'n Weft. “Free flowing outfits like the classic salwar kameez, elegant anarkali sets, and comfortable straight-cut kurtas with ghararas, shararas, palazzo trousers paired with fitted churidars are great choices for women. For men, Pathan suits remain popular along with made-to-measure designs that are creative and comfortable during hot weather,” she adds.

Breathe easy:

Keeping in mind the summer season, one can pick a breathable fabric from a diverse choice of premium cottons, soft flowing chiffons, crisp kora silk and organza. Choose lightweight fabrics, flowy silhouettes, breathable layers, or statement accessories to create a chic and elegant look for the festive season.

Co-ord sets in captivating colours and natural fabrics are perfectly suited for this weather, ensuring both visual appeal and comfort. Adding more to the Eid style list, Sagrika mentions, “Some of our personal favourites for festive occasions are the Kora butidar kurtas with a splash of rangkat colour blocked dupattas in soft hues of whites, lavenders, aquas and lime yellows. The fluidity and sheerness of these lightweight textiles, are perfect ode to culminate the fasting rituals and celebrate the summer festival in perfect style.
