Here are some styling tips to help you select and accessorise the suitable outfit for the occasion.
Keep it simple
2020 is experiencing the return of simplicity in full swing and for all the obvious reasons. Opting for a comfortable jacket and accessorising it with a colorful pocket square will definitely prove to be a winning bet during the festive spell.
Pay attention to detailing
Fine detailing on a simple outfit will always ensure that your attire becomes the focus of many compliments. Picking a classic lord of Giza shirt in deeper tones with piping on the collar, satin tapes on the shirt when complemented with crystal buttons and collar pins is enough to give a fashion complex to your peers during the festivities.
Look good — from head to toe
Another good choice for the festive celebrations is to pick short bandhgalas which can be teamed up with subtle colored khakis or tapered trousers. A pair of pointed shoes with this will definitely add an oomph to your style and make heads turn at every gathering.
Petite add-ons work wonders
Your ethnic attire is incomplete unless you pair your bandhgala suits with magnificent tiny add-ons — cufflinks. These little accessories bring out the best in you by imparting an elegant look at all times.
Up your game with lapel pins
Festive outfit without a lapel pin feels like you are missing out on an essential part of the dress. Lapel pins with intricate designs when worn correctly with jackets, bandhgalas or shirts will always ensure that you look as good as you feel.
Footwear to complete your look
A right pair of footwear takes your dressing a notch higher. Be it brogues, tassels or monk straps; when paired with the festive outfit is just enough to make a lasting impression at any gathering. Leather loafers with basket weave designing are also a good option to invest in, this festive season.
Every tradition is complimented by the different trends of fashion. With every trend one follows and every fashion statement one flaunts, tells many things about their personality and choices. So this season, give a stylish makeover to your ethnic attire and don these fresh looks with a bang!
