OOTD: Pleated Skirt Love

OOTD: Pleated Skirt Love

Hi guys,

Thank you for all the love on my previous orange dress OOTD here and on Instagram. I am back again with another OOTD from the same shoot.

OOTD: Pleated Skirt Love

I own a few midi skirts, a printed town blue one and a red and white floral one, but I didn’t have a pleated one. Pleated skirts make you look classy and elegant instantly, plus they don’t need ironing often, so are very low maintenance.

I love how romantic an outfit looks, with a pleated skirt. I got this champagne pleated skirt from Lulu & Sky. I love the mesh net at the lower half which plays a peek-a-boo. It adds something extra to the plain pleated skirt, and it was quite a steal during sale.

This black one off shoulder top is from H&M. Again something I bought on sale, when H&M started online in India, they had free shipping and 25% off on first order for the first two weeks.

This black top is very versatile and can be paired with numerous skirts/denims and is a classic piece. Only thing is it’s not cotton, so not for hot summer days.

It hugs the body well and the off shoulder sits well on me. The only issue is, since it’s body hugging, if you wear something tight like the waist band of this skirt, there will be some flab accentuated through the top. But only if you wear it with something that is tight on the waist and back, not something like a jeans or denim skirt i.e. non elastic.

I did have this issue with this pairing as obviously I do have fat and I am not a zero stomach/body fat completely fit person 😀 (yet, wish to be fitter for sure)

But other than that, I love everything about this pairing. Black and champagne work well together and you can make your pleated skirt formal with a formal black top and heels like this or casual with a tee and sneakers. It looks good both ways and I would definitely pair it with sneakers too, stay tuned to my Instagram for more outfit posts and pairings 🙂

I paired the outfit with silver glitter heels. Now these heels are not too high and are comfortable with the apt height and complimented the outfit well.

I could have added something around my neck, but I felt it would a little too much. I would have definitely added something a year or two ago, but I am past that phase now. I love small, delicate accessories/jewellery or nothing at all.

Top: H&M India
Skirt: Lulu & Sky
Heels: Claude Lorrain

On my Lips: Wet N Wild Mega Catsuit Liquid Lipstick Flame of the Game

I hope you liked the outfit, do you like pleated skirts? Let me know your thoughts.

Himalaya Youth Eternity Range Launch, Review

Himalaya Youth Eternity Range Launch, Review

Hi guys,

I attended the launch of Himalaya Youth Eternity Range last week and I have been using the products since a week now. The range consists of the Himalaya Youth Eternity Day Cream, Youth Eternity Night Cream and Youth Eternity Under Eye Cream. I had mentioned about these in all the new launches in India post.

The products have been specially formulated using stem cells from the Edelweiss Plant. The stem cells are combined with herbal active extracts of flowers like Rose Myrtle, Fire Flame Bush, Woodfordia and Cipadessia Baccifera, to hydrate and regenerate your skin.

Day Cream

Claims: The Himalaya Youth Eternity Day Cream is a breakthrough formulation based on Plant Stem Cell Research and exotic Herbal Actives. The Day Cream is light, non-greasy, fast- absorbing and consists of a powerful blend of botanical extracts that reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and re-plump your skin, leaving it looking healthier and younger. SPF15

MRP: 10ml Rs.99/-
20ml Rs.249/-
50ml Rs.499/- (Buy HERE for Rs.374/-)

Ingredients:

Night Cream

Claims: The Himalaya Youth Eternity Night Cream is a special blend of Edelweiss Plant Stem Cells, Woodfordia, Rose Myrtle, Cipadessa and Apple, rich in powerful antioxidants and polyphenols. The Night Cream works overnight to provide intense hydration, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin even-toned, healthy and visibly youthful.

MRP: 50ml Rs.499/- (Buy HERE for Rs.374/-)

Ingredients:

Under Eye Cream

Claims: The Himalaya Youth Eternity Under Eye Cream is rich in anti-inflammatory properties and is a superior blend of ingredients like Edelweiss Plant Stem Cells, Woodfordia, Rose Myrtle, Cipadessa and Amla. The under-eye cream gently nourishes and hydrates the tender skin around your eyes, leaving it remarkably bright, healthy and youthful. 

  • Reduces crow’s feet, wrinkles and fine lines in 4 weeks
  • Antioxidants treat puffy, morning eyes
  • Visible reduction in under eye pigmentation and dark circles in 4 weeks

MRP: 15ml Rs.525/- (Buy HERE for Rs.393/-)

Ingredients:

For best results, use all three products in a routinely manner.

The plant stem cells technology is being used for the first time in skin care, and also all the other ingredients sound pretty promising. We also had a Q and A session with Dr.Harsha Bijlani, and the research and development person.

This range claims to not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles, but give a radiant, even toned, plump and healthy skin. I guess we all want that, don’t we. 

I love the packaging, it is very convenient and travel friendly. Both the day and night cream round pumps and the eye cream dispense the exact amount of product you need.

The eye cream is very light weight and gets absorbed in a minute. I start with the eye cream first and then use the day cream/night cream morning and night respectively. The day cream is slightly thick but blends in well and again gets absorbed in a minute. It does not leave the skin shiny or greasy but in fact gives a matte look. This works great under makeup too. Also it has SPF 15, so it is good enough to use indoors, if you are not stepping out.

Night cream is slightly richer and thicker, it moisturizes and hydrates the skin really well. Skin is completely matte and softer, plumper in the morning after.

Since the weather has gotten cooler and drier in the past week in Mumbai, I am really liking this range and it has kept my skin hydrated and moisturized. I will keep using it for 4 weeks and update you guys on the range. Untill now, my skin really likes the Himalaya Youth Eternity Range. I just wish the range was fragrance free, as that’s how I prefer my skin care to be.

I highly recommend trying out this range, and it’s available for a very decent price on Amazon.

Have you guys tried the Himalaya Youth Eternity Range yet?

P.S: This post is in collaboration with Himalaya

July 2017 Fab Bag Review & Giveaway

July 2017 Fab Bag Review & Giveaway

Hi guys,

I got my Fab Bag today, I know it was super quick this time. From the past few months, I was receiving it a day or two later than usual.

It’s a bright peach coloured bag, and has a wristlet band, perfect colour for monsoons.

The theme for this month is ‘The Colour Drama’

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Products I got:

  • Sugar Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick Viola – Full size with sharpener: Rs.799/-
  • Kronokare Hydrate The Hair Shampoo: Rs.165 for 55ml
  • Just Herbs Herb Enriched Skin Tint: Rs.385/- for 15g
  • Tvakh Fruit Enzyme Alcohol Free Toner: Rs.160/- for 50ml

I have got Tvakh products before and I really like them. This toner is alcohol free and enzyme based, hence it will have a light all natural AHA/BHA exfoliation (coz of all the fruit enzymes). I am really looking forward to trying this out.

The Just Herbs tint does look good for daily use, it has a light coverage which evens out the skin tone. But it is quite expensive for the qty and it’s just 15g

Kronokare is again all parabens and chemicals free, a good travel size bottle.

Most excited for the Sugar Matte As Hell Lip Crayon, I had the option of picking one lipstick from all the 11 new Sugar lipstick launches i.e. the Matte As Hell Lip Crayon and the It’s A Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. I have swatched all of them HERE and HERE.

Since I already had them, I picked the shade Viola for one of you, as most of you loved this shade! And it’s my favourite shade too.

The total value of the products in this month’s bag is around Rs.1500/-

Overall I would say if you anyway planning to get one of the new Sugar lipsticks, then at the price of Rs.599/-, you get the lipstick plus thee other things and the bag. Pretty good deal! I do recommend it.

Stubborn acne? Avoid these 5 foods! Results in a month!

Stubborn acne? Avoid these 5 foods! Results in a month!

By Ankita

Let’s start with a scenario today. It’s a beautiful morning and your alarm goes off. You wake up to a fresh new beautiful day, get off the bed, go to your bathroom, look at the mirror. And, there it is another tiny little bump on your face. Darn it!!! Not now! Not today! You got your big meeting at 11 and date at 8! You have tried every little thing. Serums, treatments even the dermats know you by name now.

Frustrating isn’t it? Been there, done that. Although my acne story was much different, as I never (touchwood) faced severe acne, but one of my closest cousins did. Last month she got married and we haven’t had been in touch for about a year lately. I don’t exactly know what magic potion worked for her but, there she was on her marriage day, without a bump on her face (before makeup) and glowing. I couldn’t help but ask her, what really worked for her.

Me: Hey, like…what did you eat? I mean you look gorgeous girl, not that you didn’t before but your acne problem..?

She: Haha..Nope ask me what I DID NOT eat.

Me: Okay, go on!! I am all ears.

And the conversation went on…

However me being the curious little Nancy Drew that I am, did a little bit of my own research to testify her words, and guess what? She was right

So, my lovelies here is my list of top 5 baddie food you should avoid when going through bouts of acne.

WOAAH WAIT WAIT!! HOW DOES THIS EXACTLY WORK??

Well, this is called the process off elimination. If you can’t find out what is causing your acne outbursts, try eliminating some food items from your diet that have a bad reputation of triggering acne. Otherwise healthy, these 5 foods can worsen existing acne.

1. Fast Food

I bet you love your plate of ‘Gol gappa’ and ‘Aloo tikka chaat’ with extra Mirchi. But hold on their sweetheart. Did you know greasy fast foods will leads to body inflammation that causes pimples appear?

Includes: Fish & Chips, Pizza, Burger, Fried chicken, Sausages, Noodles, Pasta, Noodles, Snacks & Desserts: Hot-dogs, Donuts, Potato chips, French fries, Crisps, Popcorn etc

2. Sugar

We all have our sweet tooth, and sometimes it’s too hard to resist. Excessive sugar intake shoots up your blood sugar level causing pimples. Try to avoid candy bars, sugary drinks as well as other sweets saturated with sugar. Follow this with dedication and you will soon see a major difference.

Includes: Sugars, Syrups & Sweeteners, Drink Powders & Soft Drinks, candies, cookies, pies and unfortunately everything yum!!!

3. Cow Milk

Cow’s milk not only shoots up blood sugar levels leading to pimples, it also leads to growth in hormones resulting in overgrowth of skin cell that leads to blocked pores. So, you might just want to avoid dairy products for a while and check if it does any good for your skin condition.

Includes: milk, cheese, yogurt, other cultured dairy foods, ice cream etc.

4. Coffee

Nothing wakes you up better than a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Ahh, the smell! But hold that thought. Science has shown that an organic acid inside coffee beans that raises cortisol levels.

Cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, can act like an androgen. It stimulates sebaceous glands and inflammation, a.k.a PIMPLES. You might want to skip that and check for some results

Includes: Expresso, mocha, latte, cappuccino, even the decaf versions

5. Soy:

Soy is one of the richest sources of protein you can lay your hands on. The natural plant oestrogen is found in soybeans. “Phytoestrogens” which are otherwise good, mimic natural oestrogen levels and play around with our hormones. Result? Acne and more acne. So if you are experiencing any bumps around your mouth and chin, the culprit MIGHT be soy.

Includes: Soybeans, soy milk, soy sauce, soybean oil, tofu etc.

SO YOU ARE BASICALLY TRYING TO STARVE ME TO DEATH.RIGHT??!!!

Not at all. All I am saying is, eating in moderation never hurts. Once you find out what triggers your acne, yes you definitely have to cut it out from your diet sweet heart.

A FEW TIPS FOR THOSE HORRIBLE PHASES OF ACNE:

1. Visit a good dermatologist, home remedies and DIYs do work, however, common guys those guys have sweated their brains out in med school for 5 years. Let’s give them some credit.

2. Keep your skin as well as belongings clean. Do not let any product build up on your face, neck as well as other affected areas. It is equally important to keep your sheets and phone germ-free.

3. Avoid using a lot of makeup ( I recommend no makeup at all!!!) for the time being. Although a lot of companies claim to be safe to use on any skin type, it is always better to let your skin breathe. Give it time to heal.

4. Check your stress levels. Now this one is the most difficult, at least for me. You all must be thinking “better said than done”. This one is coming from a person who has years of history of anxiety and depression on her sleeves. What helped? Yoga, meditation, and good life practices. Before I was a Life Coach, I used to be a wacko. If I can do it, you can too.

5. Keep your scalp clean and dandruff free.

6. Finally, have patience. I get it. I totally do. Dealing with acne can be a lot irritating, but don’t let that put you down. It might be difficult, not irreversible. And you cares if you have acne or not, you are gorgeous anyway!!

Hakuna Matata baby!!!

Any comments, suggestions and ideas are always welcome 🙂

Do you suffer from stubborn acne? Try eliminating these from your diet, I am sure you see a difference!

Gillette Venus Breeze Razor Review

Gillette Venus Breeze Razor Review

Hi guys,

As you all know I shave and I am a huge fan of the Gillette Venus, I have covered shaving and Gillette Venus many times on the blog, review HERE.

Gillette Venus has recently launched a new razor ‘Breeze’. Most of you would be knowing about this as it’s everywhere on Instagram 😀

Claims: Now smooth skin is just a shave away! The all new Gillette Venus Breeze razor for women is the secret to a time saving shave. It is built with flexible shave gel bars and contains rich body butters for a light lather. A smooth glide that makes no need for separate shave gel or soap.

  • 3 Spring-mounted blades with telomer coating with shower storage.
  • Gives a smooth and silky shave
  • This razor is gentle on skin
  • Easy to use and convenient to carry

MRP: Rs.299/-

Pack of 2 cartridges: Rs. 350/-

It is available online on Amazon and Nykaa.

Ingredients:

The razor comes in this purple and blue box with the body and razor head separate. You just need to attach the two and it’s ready for use.

The razor itself has a pretty purple colour and looks quite good. The body has ergonomic grip so that the razor doesn’t slide off even for in shower use.

The USP of this razor are the two soap gel bars on the top and bottom of the razor head. They have a floral freesia scent which is quite nice. You don’t need a separate shaving gel with this razor, you just need to wet the razor or the skin and directly shave. The soap gel bars produce a soft lather and they also have moisturizing butters (Olive, Avocado, Kokum) which makes the razor shave smoothly, leaving the skin moisturized. There would no dryness whatsoever.

The 3 blades are quite sharp and nice, and it gives a smooth shave. Since it is shaving gel and razor both in 1, it’s a 2 in 1 product giving One Step Smooth Skin.

I often experience itchiness after shaving if I don’t moisturize my skin well with a rich body lotion/butter. But from the time I have started using Breeze, there has been no itchiness at all. I even skipped moisturizing once and nope, no itching.

I am absolutely in love with this razor as it makes the process even quicker, skipping the shaving gel part. Also this makes it perfect for travel as you do not have to carry a shaving gel separately now.

When the soap gel bars are completely used or the lubrastrip fades, you just need to change the cartridge/razor head which you can buy separately as a pack of two. So the body will last you for a really, long time. Very economical.

Only con would be I wish it came with a plastic cover, so that it is convenient to store and travel with. As the gel bars get moist after use, they become a little sticky and you have to store the razor vertically and dry.

Other than that, it is just perfect. I would highly recommend trying the new Gillette Venus Breeze if you haven’t yet.

Have you tried the new Gillette Venus Breeze? Your thoughts?

Strands of Gold: 72 Hours Frizz-Free Hair with Wella Professionals Oil Reflections

Strands of Gold: 72 Hours Frizz-Free Hair with Wella Professionals Oil Reflections

Hi guys,

I got to experience the new Wella Oil Reflections range. The launch was at The Taj Mahal Palace, Colaba followed with the experiential of the same treatment at The Taj Salon.

We were briefed about this new Wella Oil Reflections Range. It has a shampoo, conditioner and mask for home use and an elixir for in salon use and I’m here to share what I learned at the event.

Our hair is made up of keratin and lipids. While every company tends to concentrate on keratin, Wella Professionals Oil Reflections range works on lipids. Lipids work like cement in binding the hair, and even though hair has just 4% lipids, it is very essential as they are the main binding factor.

This range works on dry and frizzy hair and gives an instant moisture boost to the hair. The conditioner from this range works in 30 seconds, so you don’t need to keep it for 2-3 minutes.

There is a mask which can be used once a week for deep conditioning and to add even more moisture.

Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Range can give you 72 hours of Frizz Free hair and instant luminosity. The range has great ingredients such Camellia oil and White tea extract; while the versatile Oil has macadamia oil, avocado oil and Vitamin E.

To experience the range at The Taj Salon, they started with washing the hair with the shampoo, following it up with the elixir which was directly applied on the wet hair. And finally the mask was applied, which was then kept for 5 minutes before washing off.

My hair felt super smooth and soft and more importantly was frizz-free, as you can see in this video.

I got the treatment done on 14th and it claims to keep the hair frizz free for 72 hours i.e. 3 days and I must say, it does what it claims! My hair felt super soft for all three days and I couldn’t stop touching my hair.

I have the shampoo and the hair mask from this range and used it again at home. I used this range quite a few times after that and I am absolutely loving it!

Here’s what you need to know:

Luminous Reveal Shampoo: FOR ALL HAIR TYPES
Light moisturizing shampoo leaves the hair deeply cleansed and luminous.

MRP: Rs.975/- for 250ml

Luminous Reboost Mask: FOR ALL HAIR TYPES
Mask that nourishes and replenishes the hair structure leaving the hair smooth and luminous

MRP: Rs.1075/- for 150ml

Luminous Instant Conditioner

It acts in just 30 seconds!

MRP: Rs. 975/- for  250ml

The shampoo is clear and very light in texture, so even if you have an oily scalp, this will work for you and your scalp will be oil free next two days. Mask is thick and white and very rich. It conditions the ends really well and keeps them frizz free as the hair gets enough moisture. I absolutely love the fresh scent of this range.

Wella Professionals Pro Elements range was my absolute favourite untill now, and I recommended that to everyone. I am so glad Wella Professionals has launched this new Oil Reflections range, I see my new favourite in this.

While Wella Professionals Pro Elements is SLS and Paraben free, Wella Professionals Oil Reflections is not completely SLS free but it does not dry out or damage the hair, in fact it is all the more moisturising because of the Camellia Oil.

Wella Professionals Oil Reflections is meant for all hair types. I definitely recommend trying out the new Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Range. You can buy the range at at a salon near you, find here https://www.wella.com/professional/en-EN/salon-finder or online on Nykaa.

Have you tried any Wella Professionals Hair Range before?

New Whisper #UltraSoft Event & Review

New Whisper #UltraSoft Event & Review

Hi guys,

I attended the launch of Whisper Ultra Soft last week and I even used it last week. Actually, the very same day 😀

I had my date around the event and I had to use it right after the event and thankfully we got the new Whisper Ultra Soft in our PR bag.

Radhika Apte and Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, a renowned gynecologist were present for the event and they both talked about how important it is for a girl to be comfortable during her periods and it should be like any other day for her. Also we should be comfortable talking about it and not consider it as a taboo.

Dr. Nandita also spoke about menstrual hygiene and how it is very important. We should take care of basic things like washing the vagina properly, not using harsh soap and keeping it dry. Changing the pads regularly every 4-5 hours and cleaning the vagina and the surrounding area well.

 

[fbvideo link=”https://www.facebook.com/YouGoGirlIndia/videos/1393407764013868/” width=”700″ height=”500″ onlyvideo=”1″]

 

We also saw a demo during the event where the new Whisper Ultra Soft and another pad was compared. Both had liquids poured onto them and on squeezing, the other pad leaked out all the liquid while nothing came out of the Whisper Ultra Soft, not even a drop. It takes in all the flow and converts it into a gel immediately.

The ‘New Whisper Ultra Soft’ offers superior comfort that feels 2x softer on skin while absorbing wetness hour after hour.

I have used the other green Whisper before and was only using that untill now. But this new Ultra Soft absorbs everything and leaves the top layer completely dry, something I have not experienced even with the old Whisper. Also after my periods get over, I get rashes and itching because of the pads which last 1-2 days. That happens each time and with all the different pads I have tried till date. I was so glad this new Whisper Ultra Soft didn’t give me any rashes or itchiness.

The doctor had mentioned the new Whisper Ultra Soft is meant for sensitive skin and yes, it surely is. These are also very thin and almost half the size in width compared to their previous one. I have to say, Whisper Ultra Soft are the most comfortable pads I have used till now.

I was using them throughout my periods last week. Next day after this event, I had 3 back to back events and I was out from morning 11 to 8 at night. I didn’t feel uncomfortable at any moment, thanks to the new Whisper. I did carry one along in my bag, and changed it in between.

It’s a pack of 7 pads and priced at Rs.64/-. I love the whole pink and white packaging too. I highly recommend trying them, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Have you tried the new Whisper Ultra Soft yet?

Indian Wedding Dresses for Bride’s/Bridegroom’s Sister

Indian Wedding Dresses for Bride’s/Bridegroom’s Sister

By Sanchita

Wedding is just not the special day for the bride and groom, it is equally special for Bride’s/Bridegroom’s Sister. Every sister would want to deck up and to choose the best outfit for her brother or sister’s wedding. Well, gone are the days when saree and lehenga are the only options. Indian Wedding is generally all about the rich culture and traditional outfits but if you want the spotlight on you, you must check out the variety of outfits. Also, while choosing you have to keep in mind that the outfit should look apt and not clash with the elaborate outfit of the bride.

Wedding day means the crazy surrounding with variety of preparations. And, choosing an outfit to match your body and personality is another job altogether. There is a variety of ethnic options available to you to rock your brother or sister’s wedding. After all, you are the bridesmaid! Let’s have a look at the wedding dresses.

1. Lehenga with Embroidery Work

I recently saw Sonam Kapoor wearing a gorgeous off-white lehenga with golden embroidery work for her cousin brother Akshay Marwah’s big fat Punjabi wedding. the color was soothing yet was glamorous. It had a regal feel and needlessly to say, Sonam carried it off like a diva. She paired the look with golden jewellery, a braided up-do and subtle makeup. This is surely an outfit goal for the bride’s/bridegroom’s sister.

2. Floor Length Anarkali Suit

Floor Length Anarkali Suit makes a wonderful wedding outfit for the sister. It is inspired by the royal opulence of the Mughal era and radiates every bit of grandeur, ethereal charm and beauty. You can easily pair it up with statement jewellery and glowing skin. These floor length anarkali designs can be done in pretty colors, beautiful designs and intricate art work and lovely motifs as well. Currently, floor length anarkalis have created a major fashion statement across the globe as a wedding outfit.

3. Floor Length Indo-Western Gown

Gown is extremely popular in the western world as a wedding outfit but the classy Indo-Western Gown is an ethereal combination of east and west. Various Indian designers have created their own version of Indo-Western Gown and it is nothing but stylish. You can go bling or for softer colors like pink, yellow or coral. Pair it up with glowing skin and bold lips.

4. Half-lehenga Saree

Indian wear is always classy but when you fusion one with another, it is nothing less than outstanding. The Half-lehenga Saree is a combination of the saree and lehenga and is considered as one of the perfect traditional wear for weddings or parties. It has modernized styles on the runway with the conventional lehenga and some fantastic adjustments. Simply drape a choli around to give the impression of the saree.

5. Lehenga

This is one of the one of the oldest and obvious choice but as they say, old is gold. This is one of the most popular choice and you would find a variety of design when it comes to lehenga. If you want to stick to the ethnic ensemble. It adds an elegant touch to the look and you can either go for heavy jewellery or heavy makeup.

6. Lehenga with Jacket

A jacket for Indian wedding? Of course! Your fashion sense and style has to be on point when you sport the Lehenga with rich embroidery Jacket with it. It is a great time to experiment and this is a style that would surely turn heads. It is a great way to modernize Indian traditional wear and has a conventional charm as well. The Lehenga-Jacket is easier to carry as well with the right kind of makeup and hairdo.

7. Off Shoulder Top with Traditional Long Skirt

Off shoulder trend is ruling the western world and outfits, therefore, why not add some Indian traditional touch to it? Pair up an Off Shoulder Top with a beautiful traditional statement necklace and long skirt. Make sure that the skirt is flowy, has embroidery and traditional touch to it. This would easily balance out the Off Shoulder Top and add a wonderful contemporary touch to the ensemble.

8. Saree

This is one of the most popular choice as well. Saree has been worn at every Indian wedding and all you can do is choose the fabric carefully that would look nice on you and compliment the look. Needless to say, this is one of the safest choice as well. Also, saree can be drape in various ways as well.

9. Lehenga with Cape

Regular lehenga designs have gotten an upgrade in terms of style and silhouette over the years. The beauty of overflowing, floaty vibe of lehenga and cape is phenomenal. It has such gorgeous ensemble and it will definitely make to stand out in the crowd. Pair it up with Maang Tikka and bangles and see how dazzling it looks.

10. Long Jacket and Dhoti Pants

This is one stunning combination for a traditional outfit. The Long Jacket and Dhoti Pant with traditional design has the touch of Indo-Bohemian style to it. it is detailed with every bit of elegance, sophistication and richness of Indian traditional outfit and you can easily flaunt this for reception as well.

11. Saree Gown

This is one of the hassle free outfit and when our favorite celebrities flaunted them with such grace and elegance – you have to try this traditional outfit rolled with a modern touch.

12. Palazzo Suit

Palazzo pants were extremely popular in the 1970s and it made a comeback as a western outfit. Well, now you can wear it traditionally as well – paired with a traditional suit. The heavy work kurta along with a dupatta with match up extremely well with palazzo for a wedding.

Editor’s Note: Loved all the outfits Sanchita, very nice and helpful compilation.
