As we approach wedding season, it becomes more and more crucial for us to find the perfect shaadi outfits. With so many things to consider, like not overshadowing the bride, what colour, cut, and style to wear for each ceremony, and how much to spend, we’ve broken it down to some unique outfit ideas for all your upcoming weddings!
Skip The Sari & Kurta Sets In Favour Of These Hatke Outfits This Shaadi Season
Kaftans
Kaftans are breezy, and stylish alternatives to traditional wedding outfits. These free-flowing dresses are a great option for having a blast in comfort. Pair with a fashionable belt or bag to look your best! Find more high-end options on Pernia’s Pop-Up Shop like this one from Farha Syed or go for something a little less pricey at The Kaftan Company, especially for the mehendi and dance functions.
Kurta Sets But With A Twist
A simple and elegant kurta set is an absolute staple for your closet, not to mention a great outfit for any upcoming wedding. A low-effort, comfortable and stylish outfit choice, go for a statement set featuring palazzo pants and a fitted kurta, an embroidered jacket, or more traditional options if that’s what you’re comfortable with. Shop for this set on Aza or this one from Koskii. We also love this one-shoulder tunic one from Gajra Gang by Nykaa Fashion.
Muted Colour Suit with Statement Dupatta
One very elegant look that’s emerged recently is wearing a nude or understated suit or kurta with a statement dupatta. Many wedding looks tend to be very over the top and frankly, blinding. This simple outfit is a great way not to spend a fortune while looking classy. Choose this taupe kurta with a floral accent dupatta from Vark by Westside, or this hand painted lilac suit from Bunaai.
Embroidered Cropped Top and Pants Set
For a modern twist on traditional Indian wear, go for a shiny embroidered crop top with wide leg pants and a dupatta (if you feel like it). There are infinite variations of cut, colour, and fabrics in this outfit. There’s no way you won’t find something you like with this one. House of Indya has a great set here, or you can check out this one from Vastralaxmi. Got the attitude? Then you need this dhoti and crop top look to match it!
Asymmetrical Kurti With Skirt
Any kurti immediately looks elevated with an editorial touch. In this case, an asymmetrical hem takes any wedding look to the next level. This piece gives any outfit a modern twist, and is super affordable. Some great options are this set from Inddus or this one from Aza. For a skirt but crop top option, check out this one from Gajra Gang.
Tulle Lined Palazzos
Palazzos are incredibly chic, and spice up any outfit when paired with a kurta, blouse, or tunic. These light and airy pants are super flattering, and the layers of tulle really make anyone look like a princess. This pair from Sassafras is so elegant and affordable. If you want something a little bit more high-end, you can always check out these pleated ones from Aza, these brocade ones from Indya or if you want to play designer, then check out LBB's festive palazzo collection here.
Silk Tunic
Somewhere in the middle of being a kurti and a kaftan, a tunic is beautiful for a wedding ceremony. Choosing one in an interesting fabric is sure to attract compliments, as well as bold colours. My personal favourite are the ones in silk, and colours like emerald green, deep blues, reds and oranges look amazing on Indian skin tones. Check out this one from Chique! For a luxe pick, then Rajdeep Ranawat, Urvashi Kaur and Saaksha & Kinni are all good options.
Dhoti Saree
This outfit is perfect if you don’t want to go through the hassle of draping a saree for hours. These are pre-draped and designed like a skirt for easy wear. A more experimental flavour of saree, this one from Swtantra has pleated pant-style, and elastics on the back for an adjustable length. Not to mention, this colour is simply breathtaking! Look at other options like this saree from Nykaa Fashion or this one from Vastra Queen.
