So, this Raksha Bandhan, dress up and celebrate in style! Here are some tips to rock your ethnic look on Raksha Bandhan in the most budget-friendly way.
Fashion, Fusion, and Festivals:
Festivals have become blingy after once being bland. Times have changed, so make fashion statements that keep festivals about dressing up and looking your best. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to look good. Learn the art of styling clothes with the right accessories. And since fusion and bohemian styling are so on-trend, they make ethnic dressing easy and worthwhile. Let’s see how to style for Raksha Bandhan.
1. Decide your outfit: Open your closet and look for pieces that can be mixed and matched into a perfect fusion look.
- A monochrome blouse
- A long skirt/jegging
- A heavy and colorful dupatta
If you want a more ethnic look, pair your blouse with a long skirt and drape a heavy dupatta so the outfit resembles a lehenga. If you want fusion, wear jeggings instead of a long skirt, pair them with a crop top, and drape a dupatta over them for a modern sari look.
This will save you time and money when shopping and help you look subtly stylish as you celebrate the festival.
2. Decide on a hairstyle: You will need a great hairstyle to complete your Raksha Bandhan look. Straighten your hair and leave it open with a fusion saree, and for a fusion lehenga, go with a messy bun. Or go to YouTube to watch hairstyle ideas and choose the one you like.
3. Flaunt your footwear: Wear high heels with a fusion saree and Kolhapuri slippers with your ethnic fusion. This will add detail to your overall look and make you feel ready for the Raksha Bandhan celebration.
4. Junk jewelry to the rescue: Junk jewelry is the favorite friend of fusion, and every girl wants to wear plenty of it while dressing up for festivals to get all the festive feels. Take out your beautiful sets, earrings, and bracelets, and start pairing them with your outfit.
You can wear heavy earrings or a necklace with your fusion lehenga look. Wear metal bangles on your wrist or choose a wide bracelet. Keep it simple by wearing a lovely necklace and a watch for a fusion sari.
5. Carry a statement clutch bag: After getting ready for the festivities, don’t forget to carry a clutch or sling bag to keep your phone and other necessary items in it. This will enhance your festive look and keep your hands free.
