While you might wish to dress the way you want all the year round, when it comes to Indian festivals ethnic wear is in vogue. Since I live in Mumbai, the city in which Ganpati festival is very popular celebrating the aura of the Elephant God, I chose to shop for ethnic outfits for a change.

Well, to be honest, I am always in Western outfits. So wearing an Anarkali churidar or a saree got me excited. After having scouted through a number of stores, the collection at Soch boutique seemed to suit my style perfectly.

Here are the two options that I selected from the latest Meher collection to show you – How to shop and style ethnic attire:

 

Anarkali

• Soch Sea Green & Gold Georgette Anarkali Salwar Suit:
  ☆A self-coloured outfit is always a good idea as it elongates the body by making you look tall and slim.
  ☆The fit at the bust-line and the flowy silhouette looks very classy and brings on the vintage elegance.

☆ Opt for self-embellished kurtas so that you can go easy on accessorising the look with jewellery. I prefer minimalistic, understated glam appeal so I choose to wear only a pair of earrings.

• Saree

Soch Black & Multicoloured Embroidered Georgette Saree:

☆ Make sure to drape the saree as per your body-type. Wear heels if you require to keep the length of the pleats and the sash balanced from the very beginning.

☆If you are heavy at the belly or around the hips, choose a black saree with small prints to make your body look slimmer.

☆Wearing a bindi always adds more charm and grace to any Indian attire, so I sported one for a change.

 

While these two are my favourite picks, you can checkout the entire catalogue of Meher collection by Soch.

Also, do let me know which of the two looks you liked 🙂
