7 Uber Stylish Sangeet Outfits Under INR 5,000 That Are Hella Comfortable Too

This firecracker of a lehenga-choli set from Hatheli ticks all our boxes. It's made of breathable and lightweight viscose, so even if it seems like a lot of fabric from the image, it is easy to wear for long hours. We also love the style of it - a tie-dye lehenga & dupatta (if you didn't already know, this style of dyed clothing is currently a hot moment right now) The whole set isn't overly embellished which we like! 

Price: INR 5,100 (discounted) 

Sizes: Goes up to 2XL

This may sound like a basic look but it is so not. Complete with three pieces, our favourite is the crop top with a halter neck and stunning backless tie-up situation (make sure to secure and tie this tight), it's a statement top. BUT what's actually getting us to add to cart is the super flowy palazzo pant that could very well be mistaken for a lehenga (oodles of soft cotton fabric that falls so flatteringly). Not to forget the comfort in this is off the charts, you could do a leg-split in a heartbeat without a fashion faux pas! The pom-pom tassel dupatta just ties everything together with just enough detail. This outfit is monotone (a beautiful bright yellow) but the delicate pink lotus flower prints (that look hand-painted and expensive) add enough contrast and interest. It's also only 0.48kg, basically you feel like you're wearing a cloud. Although we've cherry-picked this one outfit, please take a look at their entire collection of gorgeous Indian wear here, please. You must.

From the house of a designer label that curates collections by collaborating with some of the biggest influencers in the game, all you must expect is class, luxury and supreme style. Alaya By Stage3 delivers just this and then some, especially in this cool indo-fusion Bandhani Three-piece Set that is apt and super hatke for a Sangeet party. It may be the same crepe bandhani pattern pink-coloured fabric throughout but it's the silhouettes and the clash in styles that make this whole look work. Essentially, this a strappy crop top thrown over high-waisted gathered tulip pants and finished with a cool cape-style asymmetrical shrug. You can all purchase all these pieces separately on LBB on a budget and use them as individual pieces too. We love!

Price: INR 4,650 (for all three pieces)

Sizes: XS to L

If your style is more sober and Indie and having to give this aesthetic up for an OTT Sangeet is your worry, definitely buy yourself  this long and full anarkali kurta with a palazzo set that looks like you're wearing a kurta lehenga at first glance. Nobody does prints as stunning as Tjori, and this kalamkari print is full of personality too. You can also jazz things up by pairing this look with chunky oxidised jewellery, you know, for a banjaran-esque/boho look. This outfit moves with you (light cotton, only 200gm), looks presentable and dare we say, stands out because nobody will naturally pick something like this!

Gajra Gang is a fresh take on glamours ethnic wear celebrating the heritage weaves of India. We love this floor length ethnic gown that is all sorts of stylish, chic, and somehow classy! It almost looks like a lehenga but not at all over the top, making it perfect for a sangeet. It's got a nice flare to it which means all the twirls you'll do during your dance routine won't go unnoticed. Since it's sleeveless, you can easily pair it with a heavy dupatta to complete the look.  

Price: INR 3000 (discounted) 

Sizes: XS to L

Running around for the hot trending sharara set for a sangeet has been taken out of the equation, because we give you Myshka that does everything from bold prints and stylish silhouttes that make for stunning occasion and festive wear. We think all of their outfits style are fitting of a Sangeet but we do love this sharara set most, mainly because where else will you find a ruffled/peplum style kurta in the sharara form!? The set is pink, floral, and got silver detailing that cannot be missed. 

Price: INR 2038 (disocunted)

Jumpsuit? Dhoti? Palazzo? Saree? Actually, it's all of the above in one stunning outfit from Pasha India. This cool experimental fashion brand sure knows how to get their customers to make an entrance with their signature palazzo and dhoti jumpsuits. These comfortable one-piece jumpsuits also come with a pallu that gives it the illusion of being a saree but that isn't even the best part - this pallu is entirely detachable so you can actually take it off if it comes in the way of your dancing! The fabric is light linen and for extra ventilation these jumpsuits are also sleeves. If you're wondering how to get in and out, since this is not a body-hugging jumpsuit, it's a breeze to remove and put on. Note that everything on their line is made-to-order, so you will have to place orders way in advance. Another cool Sangeet outfit from their line (because it is hard to pick just one) is this carnation pink dhoti kurti dress. Oh, and this outfit is INR 300 over budget but well worth it!

Price: INR 5,300

Sizes: S to L
