The much awaited time of the year is
here again! Durga Puja with all its fervor is almost knocking at the door. So,
all you PYTs (pretty young things, silly!) and guys out there- if you haven’t
yet planned your looks for the Big four-day fashion carnival (and you thought
this was just an annual religious affair- come on!) of the year, then start
brainstorming NOW. You have to get those kalidaars stitched by your tailor, buy
yourself a neon slim belt to team up with your new pair of high-waist jeans and
fitted shirt, cajole your parents to buy you a heavily embellished zardosi
saree, and/or buy an elegant pair of jodhpuris to go with the bandhgalas for
the Ashtami night- there’s so much to do and so little time! And you have to do
all this without really burning a hole in your pocket.
Here’s a quick recap of the Durga Puja fashiontrends that are going to be in vogue this year:
Women’s fashion: Traditional Wear
1.
Anarkali
Kalidaars or Anarkalis made a comeback in a big way last year and they
are ruling the traditional fashion front this year too. Both mid-length and full-length
Anarkali suits are being yearned and owned by women at large, but the focus has
shifted somewhat from bling to more subtle embroidery works. The emphasis
however, is still on the fabric and the fall of the Kalidaar as it was in the previous
year.
