In the wake of the country’s most highly anticipated festival of the year that marks the triumph of light over darkness, families gather to eat, decorate and regroup with their respective card party groups. With that said, this edit covers a string of festive outfits that will help you put your best foot forward while you’re attending (or busy playing host) for all the festivities to come. Think comfortable lehengas, flared shararas, ruffle draped saree and more.
1. Kurta By RI By Ritu Kumar
Trade your basic kurta set with this turquoise and gold attire by RI By Ritu Kumar featuring a sequined dupatta and cotton palazzo pants. You could wear this with a kundan ring bracelet, gold-plated jhumkas and juttis for taash parties or dinner with friends.
2. Lehenga By Niloufer By Aasif Ally
If you’ve been searching for a fuss-free lehenga that doesn’t end up giving you a massive shoulder ache —you’re looking at it right now. This mustard chiffon number by Aasif Ali embroidered with subtle gold leaf detailing is flowy and very lightweight. Since it’s missing a dupatta, add a maang tikka, gold-toned ear cuffs and solid heels to complete the look.
3. Saree By Label Nitika
Considering diwali parties tend to go on for hours, get something comfortable like this onion pink set by Label Nitika. Accessorize this futuristic, ruffle draped saree with a pair of mudra earrings, cuffs and gold sandals.
4. Sharara By Keva
This off white sharara set by Keva can be worn for everything from a diwali lunch to an intimate dinner with close relatives. Build this look up with a strong pair of chandbali earrings and kolhapuris. Investing in this outfit can also serve as a great option for a small puja or a family get-together at home.
5. Metallic Anarkali By Rishi & Vibhuti
Rishi and Vibhuti’s anarkali set crafted in silk comes with an aqua blue embellished dupatta, mid-rise waist palazzo and belt. In order for this outfit to not look too busy, you could pair this with just a silver ring and beige heels. Add an embellished potli bag if you fancy a good clash.
