Tips To Curate An Extraordinary Ethnic Look

No woman in this world can have enough ethnic attires. But the thing with ethnic ensembles is that women believe that there is only so much they can do to make it look like a million dollars. But this conviction is far from reality! All it takes is a couple of tweaks and a dash of confidence to rock the same old ethnic sartorial in a completely different way!

  • Experiment with bottoms:If you have worn a printed palazzo all your life, it is time to swap it for something more unconventional. Dhoti pants, cigarette pants, or even culottes are a great way to revamp your appearance. If you are not someone who likes to experiment, try a different printed palazzo. For instance, if Sanganeri Print palazzo has been your go-to for the longest time, switch it for Indigo Printed Palazzo.
  • Play around:Believe it or not, everyone has a sense of style. Now, unfortunately, because of this trait, most end up choosing the same styles, colors, or sartorial over and over again. Take a look in your wardrobe. Do you think it is filled with the same prints, patterns, or colors? For instance, some women have their closets filled with black color. While others have it crammed with the stunning sanganeri print. If you fall under this category, be slightly more mindful when you are shopping next time. This way, when you are dressing up, you will always have more options at hand and your consistent ethnic look loop will be broken! 
  • Put funk in your footwear:Some combinations have been and will always be a classic. But when contemporary is on your mind, you will have to embrace what’s in and at the same time be ready to go hip! So, for example, if Cotton Maxi Dress and mules are a no-fail pair, on donning the same, you’ll look beautiful for sure. But if you replace mules with a vintage kolhapuri chappal or open-toed wedges, just imagine how many eyebrows you will raise! Likewise, if your cotton maxi dress is solid, opt for heritage print heels to steal the show with your extraordinariness. 
  • Accessories to the rescue:Nothing can make you stand out like the right accessories. With a bigger-than-life pool to choose from, no matter how picky you are, you will always find accessories that match your vibe. But boring, run of the mill or wrong accessories can only take the charm away from your attire. To give it the necessary edge, know when to go statement and when to go subtle. For instance, you choose to wear an adorable but heavily embellished Anarkali Tops for one of your family gatherings. If you wear a loud necklace, you might rip off the appeal of your Anarkali top. Trade it for no necklace, subtle earrings, and a chunky clutch and witness how everyone calls you the one who redefined Anarkali tops styling!

Heirloom prints to try this festive season

Festive seasons are pretty taxing on women. Keeping the other responsibilities aside, what takes a big chunk of her time is thinking about what to wear, how to wear, and when to wear. If she goes too blingy, the outfit might not serve the purpose. But if she wears something too low-key, the attire might not look festive! Ask a woman and you will know the struggle of decking up is real. But not this time, not this season, because time-honored sartorial to the rescue!

Read on and take cues for your festive OOTD and OOTN:

To amp up the already existing grace of an indigo block print kurta layer it with matching pants or dupatta, a boho clutch, and silver jewellery.

Channelize your love for ethnic wear with printed suits

If there is something that rules every woman’s heart and wardrobe, it undoubtedly is a printed ethnic suit! But just like how anything carried out excessively suddenly starts to feel mundane, when a printed sartorial is sported daily and/or for special soirees, in no time, it can feel ordinary too.

To never let the charm of printed ethnic garbs die, the key is to mix and match everything, including – prints, accessorizing style, silhouettes & sartorial. Putting the latter points for another day, today let’s dive into the diverse prints on a go-to style – ethnic suits!

If distinguishing between prints is nothing short of a nightmare for you, here is a quick guide and a little history for you to revel in printed awesomeness, almost literally! 

  • Sanganeri Print Suits

Finding its name from Sanganer village in Rajasthan, this print is conceived in two forms – hand pressed by artisans & screen printed. Authentically made by the Chippa community, Sanganeri is a meticulous printing technique that looks as royal as the state it hails from. Though no two Sanganeri print suits look the same, the only thing common between them is sheer opulence! 

  • Indigo Print Suits

Only true art lovers understand the value of even a basic indigo cotton kurta! If you ask why, let us tell you that designing an indigo cotton kurta is far more complicated than it looks. It is not your average, blue-colored kurta; it is the result of a painstaking dyeing, stitching, designing & finishing process! Though the color is naturally derived from Indigofera tinctoria, it usually retains washing. Thanks to the beautiful or should we say blue-ti-ful base of indigo print suits, even contrast colored print used on it pops out like a dream. 

  • Bagru Print Suits

Who knew something as humble as a puddle of mud can create mesmerizing patterns and motifs? Meet Bagru print. Getting its name from Bagru – near Jaipur, Bagru print suits are a result of resist dyeing. Meaning a process where minimal water and maximum natural colors are used to create one of its kind designs on fabrics. In the case of Bagru, Harda is the mix that is applied on to the fabric for better permeation of the dyes. Unlike Indigo print suits, Bagru print suits come in countless hues. 

  • Hand Block Printed Suits

There is irreplaceable beauty in all things made with hand. And the epitome of this statement is hand block printed suits! Patterns made using carved wooden blocks that are carefully pressed in a poetic sequence one after the other, watching the making of hand block printed suits is as captivating as sporting one! Just like bagru & indigo print suits, most dyes used for authentic hand block printed suits are natural too. 

The ethnic sartorial possibilities are limitless, especially if you are a print lover. As most of the above-stated prints are usually busy, keep accessorizing minimal and let the traditional motifs do the talking! Go on, experiment, and win the world with your printed grace!

Everything you need to know about getting Mulmul dresses online

Just the mention of the word Mulmul evokes a feeling of tender touch and mushiness. Having royal beginnings, Mulmul was once reserved only for a select category of elites in the princely states. Popular by the name Muslin in Europe for centuries, Mulmul originated in Dhaka in Bangladesh and was crafted by weavers in Bengal a few centuries ago. The finest quality Mulmul was so soft it became a synonym for gossamer. Thanks to the passage of time, Mulmul today is much more accessible.  Let us dive into the key aspects to consider when shopping for Mulmul dresses online – 

  1. Go with ‘Mulmul’ White: Mulmul and white seem to be as inseparable as blue color is from the sky. From time immemorial to now, the moment anyone says Mulmul, a feathery white dress billowing in the wind comes to mind. Mulmul cotton dresses inherently have come to mean pristine white dresses. There’s not much to experiment with here but you can certainly choose different shades of white to give your Mulmul dress a slightly novel look. 
  2. If not white then go Light: Now that we’ve already talked about white’s predominance when it comes to Mulmul, the next best colors to go with are the lighter shades. You can select from many hues of blue, pink, magenta, Firozi, beige, lavender, light gray, and so on. The important point to keep in mind is to let the softness of Mulmul come into the fore and that happens best with lighter hues. Experimentally you can go with bold colors to create a contrasting look but go with lighter colors with your Mulmul for the most part. 
  3. Explore different dress styles: Thanks to continuous experiments in the weaving industry, we now have the most widespread styles and designs in Mulmul dresses available in the history of Mulmul. From Kurtis to sarees, to tops, gowns, and Lehengas, there are a plethora of styles to go with depending on the occasion or for everyday wear as well. In Kurtis, you can have knee-length Kurtis to short ones with stylized cuts, neck designs, and borders. You can also have an alluring Salwar-Kameez in Mulmul to add to your wardrobe. You also can’t miss the Cape-shaped Mulmul dress that is very “in” right now. There are many honorable mentions like Mughal block printed Mulmuls, Mulmul cotton maxis, Mulmul shirt dresses, and much more if you’re willing to browse a little more. 
  4. The right Dupatta/Stole for your Mulmul dress: It’s often said that more than the dress itself, what makes a woman stand out is how she makes that dress into her own. Choosing a Dupatta or stole that goes well not just with your Mulmul dress but that accentuates your features is a must. In most situations, you would want to go with a Mulmul Dupatta but you can be slightly rebellious and go with a chiffon, net, georgette and even Tussar silk or Chanderi Dupatta. You can contrast your white or light Mulmul dress with a bold color Dupatta to give it a really interesting twist. Choosing your Dupatta length will vary as per the overall look you’re eyeing so keep that in mind as well. 
  5. Choosing the right accessories: Needless to say but maybe not so much considering how oft-missed this aspect of styling is. Let us say it loud and clear – your look is incomplete without the most fitting accessories. For your Mulmul dresses, you want to keep the accessories slightly upbeat, showy and aggressive to complement the simple charm of the dress. Go with chandelier earrings and embellished bangles. Go with fancy necklaces and invest enough in the right shoes and footwear to match your Mulmul. 

We hope the above bits of advice will make your job a lot easy in trying to get the best Mulmul dresses online, happy shopping!
