Have you ever heard of patriotism? In an exclusive shoot, we inspire you to flaunt the colours of the beloved tricolour in the most fashionable way possible.
The colours on our glorious tricolour – saffron, blue on white and green – reflect the indomitable spirit of India’s struggle to achieve freedom and sovereignty. On India’s 78th Independence Day, while basking in the brilliance of these colours, you too can make use of their versatility by incorporating them into your choice of clothes. From celebrating Indian handloom to taking the fashion game up a notch with dramatic sleeves, here’s how to add timelessness to both fashion and patriotism.
Blissful in saffron
Saffron means strength and courage. Model Shinata Chauhan looks like a fairy in this dress with mutton sleeves from Quad by Ikshit Pandey. The dress is paired with theatrical pink stockings, which make for perfect colour blocking, and red heels, completing the look. A handcrafted headband with pearl detailing adds to the carnival-like whimsy of this look.
A view in white
Nail the monotone dressing by wearing a long shirt with mutton sleeves and lacy trousers like model Saurang Sharma. Her Swarovski neckpiece in peacock blue from Voice Jewellery adds a striking look, along with the marigold garland she wore. Nothing can be better than a white outfit with wavy textured details and a funky pop of colour to reflect your calm mind.
Beautiful Brocade
This brocade silk bandgala by Suket Dhir is a stunning example of saffron colour. Take a cue from model Kapil Bishnoi, who has enhanced the royal splendour with a white garland. Layer up with a green silk robe, like the one lying next to him. Green highlights on the cheeks complete the inspiration behind the look.
blue deeper than indigo
Apart from the three stripes on the flag, the Ashoka Chakra (blue circle in the middle) can add a lot of flair to your look. Model Abhishek Singh opted for a printed trench coat in silk and matching pants, which was further layered with a white cape. Marigold flowers complete the look in the most beautiful way.
Trendy Cloth
Pay tribute to India’s rich textile heritage in a handwoven cotton indigo dress from Akaro by Gaurav Jai Gupta that features dramatic sleeves. Model Maanvi Singh accessorized her look with an embellished yellow corset belt and oxidized neckpiece from Mira Jaipur.
