Are you abreast with the hottest trend of 2020? Don’t worry if you’re not, we’ve got your back. Banarasi lehengas with jacket blouses have emerged as the heroes of ethnic fusion festive wear in 2020. Going by that if there is one piece of traditional outfit you need to have in your wardrobe this year, it’s a Banarasi lehenga. There is not one adjective to describe a Banarasi lehenga. It’s rich, versatile, modern, celebratory , yet rooted in Indian traditions. Excuse us if we go on and on about it…We think it’s totally worth it.
An exclusive Banarasi Lehenga makes for an excellent choice for the millennial who are looking for smart pieces which they can wear in a variety of ways. And what more? The trend has been approved by celebs and top influencers alike. We have seen Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhat, Aditi Rao Hyadri and Masoom Meenawala flaunting their own unique styles with the classic Banarasi lehenga.
The idea is to have fun with your banarasi. You can pair it with a basic white shirt or with jacket blouses or with a longline shrug, it’s hard to go wrong with a garment like that. And tapping into the jacket blouse trend , you could go from long and short to simple and fancy depending on your preferences. You can experiment with color combinations, length of the blouse, dupattas, jewellery and what not. Within the blouses itself there is an endless variety of embroideries, prints, necklines, sleeves and so on.The permutations and combinations are literally infinite. The Best part about mix and match is that you can tone up or tone down your look according to the occasion. So, you could team an ornately embroidered or sequinned blouse with a Banarasi lehenga and complete the look with a heavily embellished dupatta if you are heading for a wedding or you could throw up an off shoulder blouse and big bold statement jewellery with your Banarasi lehenga if a Diwali celebration is calling you. Ladies, this hack will particularly come handy as we enter the season of weddings and festivals.
This year has been like no other. Corona virus has re-defined the way we celebrate and get together. Big fat weddings have been replaced by small lean weddings. But Banarasi lehengas have found their way in the new normal just as gracefully as they did in the pre-Covid world. Now that puts up a strong case for the versatility of our beloved weave.
