Ethnic wear is versatile. With the right styling, a woman could effortlessly sport it for a meeting, party, brunch and certainly a wedding. But the thing about ethnic wear is that in no time, the looks can get mundane. And the only way to escape the styling monotony that ethnic wear brings is by reading the detailed tips given below! 

• Go bold with drapes:

When it comes to ethnic dupatta, the choices are endless. So, if you are still resorting to the same old solid ethnic dupatta with your ethnic outfits, you are certainly losing out on a lot of panache. Instead, rave it up a bit with printed ethnic dupatta like indigo, hand blocked, bagru etc. If the outfit demands a sold ethnic dupatta only, instead of sporting a conventional cotton one, you could swap it for chanderi, silk or any other material that is not as widely found and casually used as cotton. 

• Accessorize like there’s no tomorrow:

If there is only one thing that can take your outfit from ordinary to extraordinary it has to be the right kind of accessories. Don’t believe us? Let’s say you got your hands on one of the chicest bagru print suits. It looks good, sure. But you know what would make it look great? An oxidized neckpiece and chaandbalis, statement rustic clutch and Indian juttis! This way, style any of your ethnic outfits with apt accessories and elevate its glam in a blink. 

• Don’t shy away from prints:

When you are shopping, do you always tend to pick up block printed kurtas online? If your answer is yes, it is time for a change! Of course, we are not expecting you to shift from your comfort zone. But as mentioned above, if you keep wearing the same prints, chances are all your outfits might start looking the same. So next time, ditch block printed kurtas online for indigo, make experimenting your style best friend forever and cart up kalamkari, bagru or ajrakh print kurtas on Vishnu! 

• Play with silhouettes:

In the ethnic world, prints are like the ocean…endless! But silhouettes? Quite limited. And if you keep donning the same styles over and over again, you know you will get bored with it too. For instance, if you tend to incline towards designer palazzo pants for the comfort quotient it offers, think culottes the next time you shop for bottoms. Same comfort, with a twist! Likewise, if you always opt for straight fit kurtas think anarkalis or tunics. Apply the same styling methodology when you are pairing these ethnic silhouettes with each other too. To give an example, if you always combine designer palazzo pants with crop tops, next time style them with a straight kurta. Or don the crop top with harems or dhoti pants. Long story short, don’t stop at the conventional. Explore everything you can and pave a new style way for your ethnic attires too!

Ethnic skirts are one of the most popular styles in the traditional wear arena. Whether it is the flare or its comfort post sporting, ethnic skirts are a women’s go-to bottom. If you have ever worn ethnic skirts, you will agree that you like some more than others. It might have made you look leaner or might have earned more compliments or might have simply fitted better. Though they all might look similar, in reality, they are poles apart. Unsure of the differences? Read to know more! 

• Silhouette:

Kalidar, pleated, A-line, flared, straight, bodycon are a few of the ethnic skirt silhouettes. Other than bodycon & straight, most of the remaining skirts look the same even though they are not. So, before you buy ethnic skirts, ensure that you know what silhouette you are buying. 

To maximize your ethnic skirt purchase from Vishnu or any other label, try to get ethnic skirts that fit well with your body type or goals. Likewise, not all skirts come with an elasticated waistband. Some are elasticated, some have a drawstring while some half & half of each. Depending on your comfort quotient, take a wise pick.

• Print type

Just like any other apparel, ethnic skirts can either be solid or printed. But if it is printed, it is extremely crucial to understand the type of print. Why? To incorporate its storage & care methods.

For instance, at Vishnu, every skirt is uniquely printed. Some are sanganeri, some ethnic skirts are indigo, some bagru, and some hand block print. But NONE are machine printed! This means, these ethnic skirts must be hand or gentle machine washed, in cold water and dried in shade. As they are fabricated from natural colors, a wearer must expect little color bleed while washing.

Likewise, some ethnic skirts available in the market have silver or golden print embossing that wears out quickly. To take care of such apparel, seldom wash it & ALWAYS iron on the inside out.

• Versatility

One of the key indicators of an ethnic skirt that makes it a no-brainer buy is its versatility quotient. Can it be paired with designer kurtis? Or any of your previously purchased ethnic tops online? Or a crop top that you frequently love wearing? If the answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, trust us when we say that you have found your ‘the one’ ethnic skirt! 

• Material

One of the most underrated yet important elements of ethnic skirts shopping is material. Now how do you determine what is the right material for your ethnic skirt? To be honest, there is no right answer to this. In fact, it all depends on the season & purpose of wearing. Looking for a wedding ethnic skirt? Think crepe or silk. Something for a more casual approach and all season? Think mulmul, cotton. And for something that is not occasional or casual? Think muslin or viscose! Long story short? No matter how extraordinary the juncture, time of the year, or choice, there is a skirt for everyone! Just research right & you’ll be all set to put the style & comfort floors on fire!

There are two types of women – the ones who find the ethnic world endless and the ones who believe it is mundane. For the ones who fall in the latter category, looking fabulous every time, with a similar ethnic silhouette can get challenging. Not anymore!

If you believe there is only so the Indian ethnic arena can do for you, read on to pick up some tips and get ready to have all eyes on you! 

• Embrace prints:

Solids are perennial, agreed. But nothing can beat the charm of lively prints! That said, did you know that are 100s of art forms and printing techniques in India? Now put the pedal on the thought – Instead of wearing any regular ethnic maxi dress, if you wore an exclusive artisan-painted masterpiece, isn’t it a no-brainer that all the spotlights will be on you?!

• Mix and match:

Gone are the days when matching sets were the show-stealers at any merriment. Now is the time when prints and contrasts are winning. For instance, if a sanganeri kurta with sanganeri pants is your style sense, ditch it! Opt for something as vibrant as an handblock palazzo or skirt with the sanganeri kurta to shine like there’s no tomorrow. Likewise, when sporting conventional kalamkari Anarkali suits, simply swap it for a popping, contrast print dupatta and witness the glam quotient of your ensemble elevate in a blink!

• Go bold!

When it comes to Indian festive occasions, there is a pre-defined mindset as to what needs to be worn. If you really want to leave a lasting impression with your attires, a perspective shift is the first change you must make. For instance, most women wear jazzy and sequined ethnic attires during Diwali. Not saying, it’s wrong. But saying that if you wear this every year, you will end up being the one in a crowd. The key to looking outstanding is experimenting with something off-beat like ajrakh print dresses! Lastly, if the occasions demand, never think twice before going over the top. Sequins, velvet, heavily embroidered? No matter what, believe that you are beautiful enough to carry it all with nothing but sheer grace!

• Keep up with the trend:

Subtle is good and safe. But seldom extraordinary. If having a OOTD or OOTN that gives you an edgy appearance is your ethnic agenda, you must always be in vogue! Is blue ethnic maxi dress your game? Switch it for a Pantone color of the X year ethnic maxi dress! Always end up wearing handblocked or kalamkari Anarkali suits for weddings and Bhai Doj? Try a saganeri kurta, choose a different overlay or go completely rad with an ethnic boho jumpsuit! Bottom line – Be on a look out to upgrade your style and sync it with the latest trends out there. Unsure from where to get your dose of ethnic inspirations? Three quick ways – Find ethnic influencers on Instagram, check out compiled look books on the internet, and lastly be signed up for newsletters by labels like Vishnu!

Women spend a lot on ethnic wear apparel. But what hurts both the pocket and heart is the fact that ethnic ensembles either dull out quick, shrink in size, or both. If this is something that you face frequently, chances are that you aren’t taking care of your ensembles right. Whether it is an occasional or everyday ethnic attire, here are a few tips that you can use to ensure that your outfits stay new and for long:

• Store right: Some ethnic skirts come with a cancan to deliver a fabulous fit and flow. This requires a special folding and storing technique. But not storing it right, the shape of the skirt can go for a toss and damage it forever. Instead of just throwing heavy ethnic skirts in the corner of your closet, invest in good-quality organization bags. Also, watch some videos online to understand the storage technique. If it is one of those regular ethnic skirts, store it how you store other clothes but folded by its seams. Not forgetting, always fold ethnic skirts or any other apparel, inside out! 
• Timely fold-unfold: Did you know that some materials and prints like silk leheriyakurti require the touch of your skin to sustain? When kept in the same folded position for long, the fabrics of these apparel stretch and loosen from the fold lines. Now you are left with two choices – you could either choose to wear your leheriyakurti wherever you go. Or every once a month open the leheriyakurti, dust, and refold it in a new manner. 
• Professional cleaning: Heavy festive wear attires or the ones with embellishments on them are not meant to be thrown into the washing machines. If you feel that you have worn the outfit adequate times and it requires cleaning, choose a professional dry-cleaning service. Likewise, instead of self-ironing and increasing the chances of a ruined outfit, do not opt for it at home. Until of course, you are aware of the right iron settings. But what about everyday ethnic wear? There is no special care required in this case. But for instance, you have a collection of ethnic tops for long skirts that are made with natural colors, choose to wash it with mild detergents with hand using cold water and always dry in shade! 
• Limit perfume usage: One of the most common reasons for a spoilt ethnic dress is excessive perfume usage. Understand that the work and zari on it are sensitive to strong chemicals. Even if you have a white ethnic dress to sport for the day, choose to spray perfume on your skin. This way you not only save your outfit but ensure that you leave a lasting fragrant trail!
