All you need to know about Ethnic Fashion Trends

The ethnic fashion trend has seen a revival in the past decade and gained a reputation of elegance and grace like nothing else, not just in the subcontinent but also worldwide. It is not just restricted to the occasionally worn traditional wear, it has very much become a part of our staple fashion. We cannot but ignore how, not just in college going kids but also in corporate and semi-corporate setups, saris and patialas have become popular. This has also seen how ethnic has been redefined from time to time. Some have been prevalent throughout while others have trended not just in designer fashion weeks but also in the common folks. Let us discuss about a few ethnic fashion trends.

Flowing & fluid skirts:

The flowing and fluid silhouettes during sunsets always catch the eye. Furthermore, it also enhances the grace of a woman when seen from close distances. Ethnic skirts which are fluid and flowing can be paired with traditional kurtas as well as can be used as fusion by pairing with stylish tops. Talking exclusively of the ethnic look, if lustrous and rich textures are chosen, they can be a hot-favorite for pre-wedding afternoon luncheons and even pujas and family gatherings. Not very expensive and with an abundance of variety available, this is our first ethnic pick for you.

Ruffled lehengas:

Another trendy bottom wear is the ruffled lehenga that is not just cool & sensual but also ethnic. This makes you look stand out in a crowd for its distinct texture and the airy look it gives. A perfect east-meets-west trend with an exclusive traditional Indian touch, these lehengas will soon pick up popularity during the wedding season. We all look for change but also do not want to compromise on the legacy of a style. This fulfills exactly that criteria by not just adding a trendy styling element but keeping the ethnic sanctity of the apparel alive.

Dupattas Zara hatke:

Dupattas add significantly to our look no matter how much we deny it. Dupattas really are a common add-on to a dress. They don’t just add a linear dimension but also a contrasting or folding texture to your wear. Front-facing dupattas are beginning to gain popularity these days. Almost every Bollywood actress is seen donning one. It highlights your frontal print and gives you an oriental charm. A sheer regal look and seductive oomph enhancer, the front-facing dupatta is a perfect ethnic add-on to a wedding with a lehenga or Patiala suit.

Keep it floral:

Talking of trends, florals are pretty much in trend with anything that you choose to wear. Even the commonest of outfits stitched in floral fabric gives a fresh look. In the recent past floral print saris have been much appreciated for their elegant look and flowy patterns. Floral prints in lehengas are now in trend. We all have seen embroidered lehengas and they look quite common in weddings. Instead, trying out a floral print lehenga is not just innovative but also trendy. With the right amount of ethnic balance, there is nothing better that comes of it.

Fringes:

Tussled earrings and shoes have kept the entire 90’s generations’ fashion cravings going. Being trendy and flowy, they have always been a favourite with who want to add a touch of the wild to their look. Adding a fringe to your Indian ethnic wear too is really trendy. They give a royal Mughal look to your outfit. A silver fringe across your tube top with an ivory skirt is the epitome of divinity in beauty. Fringes can also be used around the waist or arms with saris and lehengas. Sensual, trendy and ethnic, what more do you need?
