    Get your Diwali fashion fix with this week’s outfit of the week

    Diwali is around the corner and we believe dressing the part is just as important as all the other rituals. So if you’re looking for Diwali outfit inspiration, we have something for you. Give the usual salwar kameez a skip and try out the hottest trend of the season – Dhoti pants.

    Dhoti pants have been named after ‘Dhoti’, a traditional garment worn by men in India. But with change in style and fashion preferences, this garment has been adopted by women in an ethnic fusion form. A popular choice amongst many celebrities, designers and stylists, Dhoti pants make for a great change from the usual salwars and churidars. And if you are confused about styling it the right way, take inspiration from Bollywood’s very own fashionista, Sonam Kapoor.

    Our suggestion for making Dhoti pants a successful Diwali outfit will be to pair the pants with a well-tailored top that balances out the volume at the bottom. These pants look their best in brighter colours so go ahead and experiment; however ensure that the top is of a neutral/earthy shade. Do remember to add some bling with big earrings and other accessories. We’d recommend minimal makeup but feel free to adjust it according to the occasion and your preference.

    Not just tailored-tops Dhoti pants look great with tunics, crop tops and maxi tops.

    How to wear culottes

    Culottes have been around since forever and were originally worn by men in the 15th century. They were a hit amongst kings to soldiers to upper class European men and used to have a tight closure around the knee. With time, culottes evolved and grew into loose bifurcated skirts that end below the knees worn mostly by women. Culottes are great for all weathers and are as important a wardrobe staple as denims today. They are comfortable, chic and versatile. The question is how to wear culottes?

    It’s not as hard as one would imagine. Culottes have flattering hemlines and various shapes that look good on every body type. Styling these pants can be tricky, but the good part is that there is more than one way to fashion these billowy pants. So whether you’re wearing your culottes on a date, out for brunch on the weekend, or to work, they can fit right in with these small tricks. Here’s how to wear culottes and flaunt this season’s “it” statement.

    For a formal-chic look we’d suggest you go for solid culottes paired with a printed semi-formal top and a pair of strappy heels. For a summery look, wear light coloured or striped culottes with printed or plain crop-tops and pretty flats.

    A pair of printed culottes make a big statement on it’s own. Keep the rest of the outfit simple with solid-coloured tee or tank tops.
