The ethnic season brings out the versatility in you as it’s time to shine. In order to have a complete wardrobe, it is important to have a few staple pieces of traditional wear for important occasions. Do you have ethnic wears that complement each of the festive occasions? If not here is a small guide on what you are missing out on. These suggested staple outfits will complete your wardrobe and lift your personality overall. 1. Dandiya and Bandhej Dupattas
White kurta and white pajamas along with a red bandhej dupatta or stole would be a deadly combination. Go with the kurta of your choice, short or long, but try to wear white as it will give that perfect Dandiya outfit. Bandhej Dupatta or the stole is the game-changer here. Wrap the chunni casually around your neck and you are all set to rock the occasion. Wear your black or leather chappals to complement your white kurta outfit.

2. Durga Puja and Long Kurtas
Durga Puja is a big occasion and one of the oldest traditional festivals in India. You can have bright-colored silk kurtas or a neutral kurta with a silk Nehru jacket to complement it. Skin fit white pajamas are the best that goes with any color. But if you are planning on going full ethnic mode with the dhoti, then try the cream color with a red printed Modi Coat. Wear Kohlapuri chappals or mules to give the final touch. Pro tip would be to wear long kurtas, as this brings out the extra flavor of ethnicity. Feel free to embrace colors and the shades of red can make the look more regal.

3. Dussehra and Printed Kurtas
Yet again on the list, we have a home festival. This time you can try out printed or striped kurtas with denim or pajamas. Printed or striped kurtas will pass that family gathering vibe check with ease. You can also go for the brighter solid kurtas for the evening family gatherings. Also, if you are going for the solids, it will give a formal look too, so balance it out with the mules, loafers, or sandals. Don’t go wearing something like Rajasthani chappal as the casual ethnic vibe will be disconnected.

4. Dhanteras and Pathanis
Put on the Maroon Pathani along with the same colored harem pants or salwar. Wrap that cream or beige chunni or Dupatta around your neck and pair it with brown loafers to elevate the look. Trust me you will be surprised how classy you look. Pathanis blend in well with that chunni, which gives the touch of ethnicity in the right amount. If you are of a warm skin tone then try for white or other colors combinations, but maroon can give that mature classy look which other colors fail to deliver.
