Festivals are special times for so many different reasons. They are an opportunity to spend quality and fun time with family, exchange gifts, host parties, have delicious food, and dress up in gorgeous attires. The best way to find the perfect dress for your festive needs is to consider your body type, personality, and occasion. For instance,
- Body Type: If you have an hourglass figure, then buying a festival dress that is tight at the top and loose at the bottom will look great on you. A more relaxed body type will look better in an outfit with a more fitted bodice, while someone with a more curvy frame should wear a dress that is loose around the waist but hugs their curves.
- Personality: Do you like bold colours? Or do you prefer more subdued ones? These choices will help determine what type of ethnic festival dress will be right for you!
- Preference: Do you prefer trending styles and colours, or are you a sucker for classics! If you love following trends, here is a short list of trending colours in Indian ethnic wear for you: teal green, hot pink, mauve, fuchsia pink, soft lilac and other pastels, ivory and beige, chocolate brown, bright yellow, sage green, maroon, wine, and metallic colours.
We’ve got plenty of captivating options to help you get ready for Eid and other upcoming festivals in style. From Indian ethnic dresses to fusion wear, we have covered all the ethnic trends in this blog.
