Indian wear is like the most safest option for us when we are a little not sure about how to dress for a certain occasion, May it be an interview, an office party or just meeting a close relative – you wear a saree or a kurta to look informal and decently Indian.

But when these kurtas or sarees start to all look the same, especially with our brands like Biba, W etc, one particular piece has 100 copies, and you want to look different. Add some classy jewellery, colourful dupattas or jackets.

Here, I have a few ways that you can wear your jackets with your Indian clothes and look amazingly wonderful. Simple hacks to get fashionable with your kurtas and saree this season.

As fashion obsessed we may be, we ever-so-often get back to our roots to wear Indian and things alike that make us feel connected to our cultures. Whether it is our saree, suits or lehengas, they all look magnanimous when we put in that extra effort to dress up. So, let’s give ourselves those extra moments to look from good to great and beautiful to fabulous.

The Short Jacket

The waistcoat or the short jacket of these kinds has been very popular among the college goers. A pain boring kurtas with a printed or an embroidered jacket becomes the perfect alternative to a dupatta. It’s smart and very ethnic looking, giving you that edge over the usual kurta- wearers. Button it or just let it loose, this smart looking look is a must try for you.

Like Alia Bhatt in this attire looks absolutely cutesy and Indian, try donning this look to your college or just a day out with friends. All you require is a short jacket and a kurta to pair them up.

The Short jacket on Sarees

Wearing a short jacket on a saree is an even better idea like these ladies did. With these three looks, one with the saree draped from side out like a blouse cum jacket, the second is a similar style with a jacket that had sleeves and the beautiful print and the third in which the complimenting gold colour of the jacket looks ravishing with the saree draped on top of it. These looks are easy and a great hack when you want to style up those saree of yours.

The Long Embellished Jacket

Embellishments on a jacket add royalty and decoration to it making you look like a million bucks. A long jacket with the saree is a slightly bold move but worth the risk. Look at our ladies, one with a contrasting royal blue jacket with maroon lining and cuffs with a white draped saree and the other wherein the cape matches the saree cream base and the golden work. Sonam Kapoor wore this lace saree with the magnificently embroidered jacket by Anamika Khanna at Cannes 2013 looking absolutely exotic.

Long Kurta Styled Jackets

 

A simpler option but a winter-y option is one with a long kurta-sized jacket that covers you well and looks pretty too. Try a contrasting colour with loads of work or one that self printed on the same colour, kurtas with jackets are the new in thing.
