Navratri outfits for women: Ghagra Choli trends 2014
This year’s Ghagra choli are majorly inspired from the movie Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela wherein Deepika Padukone flaunts tie-dyed black and red crushed Ghagra with bright bold borders. Majority Ghagras are ankle length with bright broad borders and Kutchchi or Ikat handwork, making them one of the biggest navratri outfits for women this season. Choosing lightweight fabrics such as raw silk or cotton can help maintain comfort during Garba dancing.
Bold vibrant colours like hot pink, Blue, Yellow and Black are totally trending. Crushed materials plain ghagra with no much embellishment and heavy ethic hand work borders are taking place of the normal glittery heavily embellished chaniya choli’s of the previous years.
Animal and fruit prints rocked the ramps this year for all the national and international fashion week’s. Navratri Ghagras are not behind in prepping up your wardrobe with animal prints. Parrot and elephant print hand-work borders are a rave this season.
Glitz and glamour of navratri continues to show up in gota gold and silver panel borders, heavy hand work embroidery and sea-shell latkans.
Choli’s are vibrant, colourful hand embroidered crop top’s style choli’s with back cut-out’s and Deep back’s. Again taking cue’s from Deepika’s outfit’s styled by Anju Modi. The chaniya choli’s are heavily bent on white, red and black colours. Bandhani or Bandhej tie-dye material has been lavishly used.
The duppata’s this year are light and breezy giving the khelaiyas enough comfort to dance to the tunes of “Nagadas”:) Net material duppata’s with motifs and borders are a rave this year. The colourfull duppatas will sort of balance out the plain ghagras.
Materials like crushed silk and laheriya print fabric seemed to have taken center stage at the shops in Ahmedabad. Law garden is overflowing with ethnic this time of the year. The latest trend in Navratri fashion includes a fusion of traditional Indian attire with contemporary styles, emphasizing comfort and elegance for festive celebrations. Just like the outfit’s jewelry trends are also evolving this year. Navratri Accessories such as oxidized silver jewelry can enhance even simple outfits during the Navratri festivities, and handmade jewelry is becoming increasingly popular during the Navratri festival. Accessorizing with contemporary jewelry pieces can enhance traditional outfits, making them suitable for both Garba nights and festive gatherings.
Meanwhile start practicing the steps of “leeli lemdi re lilo nagarvel no pan” & “Nagaada sang Dhol Baaje” with Bollywood hottie Deepika Padukone.
