Fusion for Falgun
Pahela Falgun calls for a celebration as we
embark on the charming season of Spring (boshonto). It bears a tradition of
festivity, further brought to life by Bengali women. Their mesmerising beauty
and graceful ensemble truly radiate the spirit of Spring, making Pahela Falgun
beloved by all.
Women dress-up to look their best. Some even
get creative with their attire. A fusion of western and traditional is quite in
vogue and so, it is an interesting style to try for the occasion. This can
easily be sorted with existing pieces in your closet, saving you from buying
something new.
Sari with a top
Instead of a traditional blouse-piece, how
about you drape your sari over a western top?
Tops are similar to regular blouses, making
this style an easy one to pull off. However, to look your best, an appropriate
pairing is a must. Crop tops are the best option as they typically come with a
good fit. A top of any length can be worn, as long as it complements the sari
and looks flattering.
Make the materials work; a silk sari can look
stunning with a satin top, just as cotton would complement cotton.
In terms of colour, wear one that matches the
hues on your sari or strays to the contrast.
Don't look overdone by staying minimal. Style
the rest with traditional jewellery, tie your hair into a soft bun and look
breath-taking for the day!
Kurti and skirt
An uncommon choice — pairing a kurti and a
skirt!
A definite fusion that looks anything but
boring; it's fun to style and comfortable to wear. All you need to do is
coordinate the pieces fashionably.
A kurti consists of elements that define
Bengali-wear; combined with a western skirt, it translates into a beautiful
bond. Make sure the pairing has a fine blend of colours and patterns that
complement each other.
Feel free to embrace spring with bright
colours! Unless you're going for a boho-chic, keep it classy with subtle
designs. For a contemporary feel, add some trendy earrings, a purse, even
matching sunglasses. For a 'deshi' look, put on some traditional accessories,
pair with 'khussas' or 'nagra' and carry a 'potli.' Lastly, own the style with
your confidence!
Dress with dupatta
Add a hint of culture to any western dress (or
gown) just by carrying a beautiful dupatta (orna). A simple, long dress worn
with a dupatta looks transformative yet elegant. Stoles with beautiful, ethnic
designs are perfect for Falgun. The duo, without a doubt, makes a gorgeous
attire that is sure to turn heads.
Choose from pretty shades to celebrate the
joyous occasion. Carry the stole in a manner that reflects your personal style.
You can wear it on one side, wrap it around or carry it on your arm. You can
even take it a step further and wear it with a belt. We encourage you to play
with your style and play with it. Lastly, accessorise with stunning traditional
pieces to complete this fusion get-up!
