Lets understand the style Guide for Latkans @ Paisley:

Do’s and Don’t’s for Latkans /Tassels:

–       Avoid them for the daily wear/Office wear

–       They look best paired for the festive and wedding occasions

–       Contrast the Tassel to your outfit rather than matching them ditto

–       Avoid blingy/shiny tassel when the choice of your outfit is more subtle

–       Size does matter..well not for the Latkans!!

Truly these blingy and decorative embellishments add a punch of drama to ethnic handbags, potli bags, waist belts, Saree pallu, Lehengas, and definitely not to miss – the Dupattas . So, let these little fantasies splash colors in your ensembles in form of cheerful pompoms and colorful beads and crystal  embellished tassels.

Go for an easy-going yet oh-so-stylish look as you wear your favourite traditional avatar.

Hail the summer season with an easy-going yet oh-so-stylish look as you wear your favourite traditional avatar with cutting edge design, to give your overall look a lift this season.

Colours
Smart casual wear with breath-easy material and cool no-fuss styles in some pick-me-up colours such as indigo blue and canary yellow prod you to embrace summer with a new-found confidence.The classic indigo or “neelika” has been the essence of Indian textiles over the years and continues to be popular.

Colour blocking with floral designs in bright warm hues of red, pink, orange and indigo are all a rage this summer.

Fabrics
Fabrics become king in a way. Cottons and mulmul are a big draw as they are most suitable for the rising temperature. The clothes epitomise ethnic chic, so while the core is ethnic the styles are trendy and contemporary these days.

Prints and designs
You will also find funky prints in the market to go with the season such as a tribal print or a jungle print in a colour palette borrowed from nature.

Kalamkari motifs bring life into the kurtas that come in long and short options.

Detailing
Delicate necklines such as a yoke neck in a feminine silhouette attract women who are looking at wearing cool, breezy outfits yet want to keep their style quotient intact.

Traditional Sanganeri prints in paisleys and booties on kurtas, tunics and palazzos in pastel colours help soothe the look.

The intricate hand embroidery, traditional stitches, motifs that highlight heritage crafts continue to be flaunted, albeit stylishly. A natural fabric, traditional stitches combined with modern aesthetics is what everyone seems to be looking for.

Favourite picks
Fashionable kurtas with hand embroidery and simple ones with block printing are quite the thing this season. Flared pallazos and skirts that are roomy can be teamed with a top or a kurta for an effortlessly stylish look. Colourful dupattas for co-ordination provide the much-needed variety for the keen-to-experiment Indian woman.
