You bank on the most fail-proof monsoon fashion hack ever— colour! The idea is to pick up a juicy hue in a fun, roomy silhouette and you’d be good to go. No heavy embroideries, no daunting details. Just a nice vibrant colour. Now, that sounds fun, right? Scroll down for our curation of 11 fun festive fits:
Pretty Pink Anarkali By Lavanya
Call us superstitious but we never ever do a festive fashion round-up sans any pinks in the list. It’s a must! And we just found the perfect pink fit in this Lavanya anarkali. There are hardly any embellishments in sight and the fabric of the outfit does all the talking. We love the flared cut and how the churidaar sleeves add a luxe touch.
Bandhani Maxi By Dash & Dot
This flamboyant maxi is a great way of getting festival-ready while keeping it fresh and interesting. The Bandhani print on a halter neck maxi is the kind of Indo-western twist that we love. The side slits add to the gauzy appeal of the dress and the metal choker detail will ensure that you do not need a lot of accessories with this one.
Desi Mom Approved Printed Suit By Aarke
This yellow-red chiffon suit is both desi mom approved and every bit comfy. We love the subtle scalloped edging on the kurta and how the tangerine dupatta and matching pants add a pop of colour to the ensemble.
Stunning Green Midi By Swatee Singh
Easily one of the best monsoon shades, this lawn green hue has our heart at the moment. We are in awe of the artistry that went into the pleating and draping of this Swatee Singh midi. The OTT tie-up detail on the shoulder gives it a dramatic touch. The best part? It’s all fabric which means you can jump around in this gorgeous dress without feeling weighed down.
Embroidered Kurta Set By Asha Gautam
We love the multi-coloured resham embroidery on this pretty pink Asha Gautam outfit and how the designer has creatively used just the fabric to do the talking. Notice the scalloped hems of the salwar? The beauty is in the details with this one!
Neon Green Suit Set By Libas
Neon green is going big at the moment and we are sure you have already seen a lot of Western separates in the colour already. For Rakhi 2022, we recommend an upgrade though. Opt for Indian wear in neon green and see how the compliments pour in.
Kaftan-Jumpsuit By Style Junkiie
If you have been in an experimental mood lately and are all for playing with cuts right now, this magenta jumpsuit by Style Junkiie is the one for you. The crepe kaftan makes it easy-breezy and the contrasting thread work embroidery gives it a festive touch.
Colour-Burst Dress By Drawn
If the monsoon humidity is kinda making you give up on all things fashion and style, we have the perfect dress for you. This colour-burst short-tiered dress by Drawn is comfier than your worn-out pyjamas and will look uber chic when you style it with statement studs and a cutesy hair-do.
Tangerine Anarkali Set By Gulabo Jaipur
Notice how all the major fashion houses have been stocking up on orange lately? It is time you add some to your wardrobe as well. We recommend this vibrant anarkali set by Gulabo Jaipur. Their anarkalis always come with a generous flare and the see-through embroidered pants happen to be our favourite detail here.
Mint Suit Set By Dimple Design Studio
A pure cotton suit set dipped in the brightest mint green hue? Pack one for us, please! This Dimple Design Studio outfit is impactful albeit simple and will be perfect for those who like to keep it fuss-free. We love the neat lines, the subtle infusion of gold in the dupatta, and the brand’s signature pleated pants.
Draped Dhoti Set By Monk & Mei
Draping is a mega 2022 trend and this Monk & Mei Dhoti set hits the right spot. The look comprises a breezy shibori skirt, a crop top with kowri tassels on the hem, and a drop-shoulder cape. The best part? You can later style each piece in the set with different separates as well!
Printed Lehenga By Kalki Fashion
Fancy wearing a lehenga this Rakhi without any jhanjhat? Head to Kalki Fashion’s website and add this sunshine beauty to your cart. From the crew neck to the soft, ruffled accents, everything about this fit has a “thumbs up” from us!
So fashion gworls, all set for some colour therapy this Rakhi?
