Shopping sprees, vibrant wardrobes, age-old traditions and cheery laughter – what’s not to love about the festive season? As diverse as Indian culture might be, the festivals are what bring us closer time and time again! Whether you love donning traditional attires or ones with a new-age touch, we all have an ideal festive look in mind. You might plan your outfit for the gram or pick something to woo that special someone; whatever the reason may be, you deserve the perfect #OOTD.
We’re all well aware of the fact that this year ‘round, the festivities will be anything but a gala affair. No matter the size of the gathering, it shouldn’t stop you from frolicking with your loved ones. You don’t need to go over-the-top with your outfit this time, you can make a statement in fuss-free, lightweight pieces too. Minimally embroidered or embellished looks might be one of the first things that come to your mind, but we’re placing our bets on prints! That’s right – prints are our go-to for the festivities this year, and we’re sure you’ll love them too. Read on to find out our top picks that deserve a place on your wishlists.
Vintage for the win!
Everyone around the world has been going gaga over all things vintage like polaroid cameras, 70s inspired frames, and of course – clothing! Among these, charming old-world prints are the most sought-after. From bold colours that say “I have arrived”, to abstract patterns that don’t shy away from the spotlight, muted tones with zoomed-in motifs and standout florals in timeless palettes – there’s something for everyone. Along with being eye-pleasing, vintage classics are also relatable to a broader age bracket, thus bridging the gap between the old & the new. The promise of lasting elegance is reason enough to add these to your wardrobe right away!
Geometry, but make it fashion.
You may not have aced geometry in terms of grades, but when it comes to fashion, you’ll be mastering it in no time. Geometric prints are a safe choice, yes, but that doesn’t make them less appealing! How simple shapes can come together to create stunning patterns is beyond us, but we do know that they’re capable of creating a memorable impression!
Tropic like it’s hot.
Even though a luxurious getaway may seem far fetched right now, who’s to say you can’t dress like it? The answer lies in tropical prints, even for the festivities. We have seen these stunners take over global runways from time to time, the most recent hit being the ‘jungle print’ at Spring 2020 shows. A relaxed, easygoing take on traditional patterns, these nature-inspired motifs are sure to make you feel exotic no matter where you are!
Get artsy!
Fashion in itself an art form, regardless of the muse. With conventional art forms or abstract designs, give yourself an artsy festive makeover! Social media ‘aesthetics’ too have played a massive role in popularizing art-inspired clothing. This enables us to learn a thing or two about putting different pieces together to create a masterpiece. Whether you like designs coloured outside the lines or inside; there’s no limit to what you can or can’t choose! Remember to have fun with it.
Needless to say, prints are here to stay forever! Whatever the season, they’re always a good idea. Take your pick from a world of stunning motifs; trust us, they won’t disappoint.
