| The festive Look |
This EID is all about practically. No longer is anybody
willing to sweat themselves out in silks and chiffons; instead they are opting
for the more convenient and weather friendly cottons and lawns, variations
ranging from the block prints and screen prints to the embroideries and khaddi,
cottons and lawns are all the range this EID. While heavily machine embroidered
shirts that have become a trademark design of certain ladies clothing brands
fill the markets most women are now opting for a different alternatives in the
variety. The branded lawns are making their debut in the form of EID attires as
special EID collections are launched this year for the first time.
Lawn suits coupled wit chiffon or ‘barouche’ dupattas add a flavor
to the attire and easily convert it from everyday wear to being EID
appropriate. Embroidery on the shirt as well as fancy laces and braids can
achieve the same results. Another commonly used method for making a simple lawn
suite more formal is to add a variety of appropriate panels and yokes to it.
There are no particular colors which are en vogue at the
moment, as the shades from all over the spectrum are being received with great enthusiasm
regardless of ones age. While the brighter ones like reds, pinks and oranges
give a nice and lively feel, softer hues like peaches, light blues are all
about the freshness.
Comfort and partially is this years mantra as women focus in
flats rather than heels for EID footwear. With summer in full swing, strappy
sandals are all the range and fill shoe store racks wherever one steps, in a
wide variety of colors and designs. Khussas and kaila puris are perfect to
compliment the churidars in the fashion at the moment but go well with pants as
well.
When it comes to jewelry, dangling earrings are on popular
choice while the stark opposite i.e. Tiny
studs are considered fashionable too. Embellished with stones and whether
dangling or studs, or these earrings are graceful as well as trendy.
Keeping the weather in mind and the ongoing hairstyle
fashions, bobs are the common sight, simple bobs, whether in curls, waves or
straightened, are easy and fashionable hair dos to be seen frequently this EID,
and for the less adventurous ones who haven’t ventured for the cut like a bob,
pony tails and low swung buns depending on the age are good options.
Staying aliened with the desi-ness that is all the rage in
the world of fashion, mehndi and bangles have become essential accessories and
even more so on EID. The typical mehndi designs that cover the entire hand with
the heavy pattern are no longer in vogue; instead delicate strips of designs
are more the way to go. As far as bangles are concerned regular bangles are
more than the way to go. As far as the bangles are concerned regular bangles coupled
with the rhinestone studded ‘karaas’ add a modern yet traditional appeal to the
attire. In fact, some bangles shops also offer made-to-order ‘karaas’ to match
any color at a few minutes’ notice and lastly, makeup begin an all imperfect
look must be ignored. Dark make-up is a major fashion faux-pas this EID and
lighter tones with a natural look are more the way to go. Nevertheless, kohl
rimmed eyes or bright lip colors remain fashionable and stand undeterred as all
other dark make-up goes unused this EID.
Over the time, while the dos and don’ts of fashion for EID
may vary, their essence remains the same; keeping the spirit of EID alive and
spreading festivity among the people. After all, its how you want to be
portrayed and fell about yourself that matters.
