Much like a celebration after this horrifying steep, this Festive season brings fun and curiosity to explore new-old clothing trends with a dash of modern twist and newness.
The women’s fashion is all Retro and Full of colors!
The major trend that found its way back to 2021 is the Sharara Suit. Sharara suit is a three-piece set with a short top, flowy pants, and a Dupatta but this time it has a tweak.

The Duapatta’s that usually come with this has also had undergone a modern twist. This year saw the trend of cuffed dupattas and necklace dupattas. Complementing with a Haaram with either an earring or a Teeka/headgear can make this look classy.
One timeless trend in Indian Fashion is a Saree. This year saw sudden traction for the Silk and Sequin Sarees. Be it the authentic Kancheevaram saree paired with Temple jewelry or a mild pastel-colored Sequin saree paired with a platinum/diamond choker, each of the looks has got a mix of neo-traditionalism in it.
The best find of 2021 is the fusion of Indian wear and Western wear. One of the two best finds in this series is pairing a Blazer/Trench coat with a Dhoti pant pairing with a heavy Jhumka or a neckpiece and a Jutti.
The other look is an Ethnic Jumpsuit. This clothing style came in summer colors mostly giving a monochromatic look, bold prints, or in classic materials like Benaras silk, etc.
