As Ganesh Chaturthi approaches, marking the onset of the celebratory season ahead, we can’t help but draw up our wish lists. Heavy showers or social distancing rules won’t dampen our festive spirit this year. Whether your plans include a puja at home with limited guests or an intimate lunch spread with cousins or friends, there’s no reason to skip dressing up for the day.
Finding an outfit that’s suitable for the weather and lets you freely dance and move around without compromising on style is no easy task. Breathable fabrics, light embellishments that don’t weigh you down, and fuss-free silhouettes that are easy to carry throughout the day—sounds too good to be true? Our curation of monsoon-friendly festive outfits has everything, and more.
Style yours with embellished bags, contemporary jewellery and comfortable Kohlapuris. Keep scrolling.
One Piece Fits All
The easiest way to put an impactful outfit together for a celebratory affair is by investing in a festive maxi dress. The floor-grazing length and flattering A-line shape of these ethnic dresses will get you in a festive mood in no time. Complete the look with a pair of statement chaandbalis and you’re good to go!
A Case For Classic
If you’re a sucker for classics, then we suggest going for a bright colour this season. Head-to-toe monochrome is a current favourite and there’s no going wrong with shades like marigold yellow, coral pink or emerald green for day-to-night events.
Festive Fusion
Love to stand out? Unconventional pieces like one-shoulder tunics, dhoti pants and sari-like drapes are perfect for the occasion. Plus, the non-conforming shapes are ideal to spend an entire day in. You can make each of these picks appropriate for the evening with an embellishment clutch and high heels.
Bring In The Drama
There’s no occasion where you can’t wear your lightweight lehenga. Florals, sheer organza layers and rich monochrome hues will do the trick without weighing you down. Our picks include little to no embellishments, so you can freely dance and move around without compromising on style.
