Newest Trending Styles in Indian Ethnic Salwar Suits

Fashion keeps changing constantly with changing tastes and styles. Indian silhouettes have kept on evolving to be in line with fashion. An essentially Indian style, the salwar kameez has especially changed over the years and this year is a treat for salwar suit lovers for the variety of patterns introduced by Indian designers.

Layered Anarkalis

Anarkalis are apparently the most popular style in salwar suits right now. Almost exhausted after a long period in fashion, these were revived again with Deepika Padukone’s appearance in a long layered anarkali salwar suit in Bollywood movie Bajirao Mastani. The new style took the industry by storm and the anarkali was made more regal with new changes. Layers were added to give volume and a more royal appeal to the anarkalis. Now these are even tried in simpler forms like printed anarkalis in place of heavy embellished ones.

Pakistani Suits

Pakistani suits are not unknown to us since we first saw Kareena Kapoor in dancing in a sharara decades ago. These became an instant hit and are still worn in various ways. We paired suits with palazzos inspired from shararas. Now the actual Pakistani silhouette is back in fashion, only they are much more stylish. The shararas are given a bit more volume, kameez given a sleeker look with minimal work and details. Apt for almost every body type, these could be your definite next show stopper!

Cape Style

 These are a very avant-garde style as compared to the rest for these have an eccentric touch added to them. The standard dupatta is replaced with a cape style pull over that can be worn over the regular suit. These are usually embellished with choker necks and borders to add more drama to the outfit. These could be your style statement if you are looking for a novel and daring ensemble.

Asymmetrical Suits

Anything can be made more glamorous by adding a little disproportion, these asymmetrical suits are a proof of that! Asymmetrical silhouettes were the perfect answer to the exhausted regular suits worn in the same way over and over. The unbalanced lines added playfulness to the outfit while the fall of the soft fabrics gave it a subtle sensuousness. These are now a hot favorite of the masses being tried in even more stylish ways such as a heavy embellished asymmetrical kurta with a plain pant or palazzos.

Dhoti Style Punjabi Suit

This is a yet another novel style that has been doing the rounds lately. We are all familiar with dhotis which is a very common outfit for rural Indian men but who could have thought that they would become a ladies’ favorite one day? Well they have! This is a very androgynous style for those who are always looking for statement fashion. A short kurti paired with dhoti style bottom is a terrific combination that gives a both chic and powerful illusion. You can either add a dupatta or go a little quirkier and put on a matching jacket with some heels.
