In recent years, the number of Indian fashion designers gaining image and recognition on the global stage is on the rise.
One reason for such surge in popularity is that, in the U.S. alone, the Indian population has grown by more than 50% in the last ten years.
Here are three trends inspired by Indian fashion booming right now.
1. Bold Colours
The choice for bold colour outfits makes sense right now (in this social, political, and pandemic context) as bright colours will make you look inviting and warm.
However, in India, the bold colours trend has been the norm for millennia now.
Now, if you’re unsure what colours to wear or how to mix them, always look to Indian fashion for inspiration.
2. Intricate Patterns
Intricate, layered pattern style is another trend that’s booming right now.
We see the trend copying from the Indian culture, known for its detailed and ornate patterns, present on all items, apparel including.
When you choose the patterns, make sure you choose them in conjunction with colours that pack a punch.
3. Sherwani Style
Sherwanis are the long jackets made from high-quality materials such as jacquard and silk.
While in the Indian culture Sherwanis are associated with formal events, you can always wear them in casual settings such as dinner gatherings or first dates.
Most Sherwanis are made in one solid colour and have simple accents on the cuffs, for a more casual look.
However, the more stylish Sherwanis include blends of colours, ornaments, and brocade patterns.
