Tricolour Saree

Rooted in Indian culture, sarees are timeless garments that have been part of India’s rich history. They are a great choice for most occasions and Independence Day is no exception. This year, flaunt your patriotic spirit in this green and orange saree from Laa Calcutta, which is made of premium pure cotton to help you comfortable outdoors. Style it like Madhuri Dixit with the top-rated Zaveri Pearls Kundan necklace set.

Classic White Salwar Suit

White salwar suits are a classic option for Independence Day but it doesn’t mean you have to stick to solid styles. Take a cue from Nimrat Kaur and opt for the Roohaniyat salwar suit with black embroidery that adds just the perfect touch of elegance to this classic. Complete the rustic look with the oxidised pearl jhumkis from Teejh By Joker & Witch.

Love adding a touch of drama to your outfits? You cannot go wrong with a Tricolour dupatta and white salwar suit combo on Independence Day. Opt for the Dupatta Bazaar woven dupatta, which reviewers say is high quality and value for money. With sharara being a top trend, recreate this look seen on Sara Ali Khan with the ISHIN sharara set that can be paired with any other statement dupatta for different occasions.

Bold Earrings

Sometimes, you just need to let your jewellery do all the talking and this look seen on Alia Bhatt is the perfect example. Try the handmade earrings from Dugran By Dugristyle that showcase traditional art techniques, including Kundan and Meenakari. While you can wear these earrings with any solid outfit, the bandhani print kurta from Varanga provides the perfect contrast with its stunning purple hue.

Casual Tops

If you can’t help but throw on a pair of jeans and a top for every occasion, we’ve got you boo! This look seen on Ananya Panday proves how playing with colours can help you experiment while still being in your comfort zone. We recommend the orange knit top from FableStreet with a breathable and stretchable fabric. Wear it with the white bootcut jeans from the viral denim brand FREAKINS.

Stunning Skirts

Not one for colourful outfits? You can opt for a monochrome outfit while still being on theme. Take inspiration from Deepika Padukone for an all-blue outfit with the bestseller pleated skirt from Uptownie Lite. It is made of a lightweight crepe material and midi length that adds a slimming effect. Turn up the comfy factor with the sweater top from Twenty Dresses by Nykaa Fashion that has trendy button details on the sleeves.

Shirt And Trousers

Heading to work or a formal event on Independence Day? You can bring the patriotic spirit with a shirt and trousers. While you can opt for any combination of orange, white, green, or blue, we love this contrast orange and green ensemble for a bold and stylish look. Opt for the top-rated orange shirt from High Star and green satin pants from RSVP by Nykaa Fashion – you can also tie the shirt for a cinched waist depending on the occasion.
