How to Style Traditional Diwali Dresses for a Modern Look
As the festive season approaches, we know it’s time for shopping! The market is filled with ethnic dresses for women, but today we’re here to highlight the top Diwali dresses that will steal the spotlight this season. We’re presenting the top chikankari styles for flaunting your traditional fashion aesthetic.
We’ll also share styling tips and tricks to elevate your kurta set into a head-turning ensemble. After all, what fun would it be flaunting your ethnic wear without the right makeup, hair, and accessories? Let’s jump right into the season's hottest style recommendations for Diwali.
Styling Tips for Traditional Dressing
Here are a few styling hacks for flaunting your fashion aesthetics with elegant kurtas for Diwali:
- Mix and Match: Experiment with different clothing pieces until you create your masterpiece. For instance, style your festive kurta with a lehenga skirt for festive parties or pair your dresses for Diwali with an embroidered jacket for a bohemian twist.
- Play with Colors: Go all out with colors and transform your outfit into a Picasso painting. Go for contrasting colors, such as pairing a red dupatta with a yellow outfit, and get ready to stand out from the crowd. For intimate gatherings, stick to monochrome style or minimalistic clothing.
- Accessorize Smartly: A festive outfit is incomplete without some bling. Consider adding statement jewelry pieces to your outfit for a complete look, such as chokers, earrings, kadas and hair accessories. Don’t forget to carry the perfect bag, such as a clutch, potli or envelope bag.
- Dupatta Draping: Complete your outfit with a flowing dupatta. Drape it around the shoulders, secure it with a belt, or casually pleat it for a pallu look. Choose embroidered or colorful pieces such as mirror work, lehriya, or jaal dupattas.
- Footwear Matters: Opt for kolhapuris, punjabi juttis, or shimmery heels to make a statement with your festive kurta. Make sure that the footwear is comfortable and well-fitted for the night.
- Hairstyle & Makeup: Keep your makeup subtle and let your hair loose for a minimal yet gorgeous look for pooja gatherings. For card parties and grand celebrations, have fun with vibrant eyeshadow hues, lip colors and hairstyles until you get your desired look.
