7 Top Underrated Indian Festival Dresses Should Try This Season

Here are 7 festive wear trends from Lakmé Fashion Week 2023 that you should try out this season:

Sanjay Garg’s festive collection ‘Moomal’ at Raw Mango featured poshak-inspired kurtas with choli cuts, and light lehengas in green, yellow, and pink. He revisited his native Rajasthan, adding typical Rajasthani necklines and the peacock motif throughout the collection.

2. New drapes

Saakasha & Kinni took inspiration from the Banjara community, incorporating geometric prints, mirror details, and vibrant colors into their festive edit. Their signature micro-pleating and fluid drapes made the collection stand out.

3. Neo Phulkari

Sukriti & Aakriti unveiled their “Neo-Phulkari” collection with modern renditions of the craft. The line mostly features a monochrome palette, including embroidered kurtas, ghararas, dresses, feather-light lehengas, and cropped pants, perfect for resort-focused festivities.

4. The All-Rounder

Mishru’s presentation featured a flared jumpsuit with the winning combination of red and pink. The line-up spoke of the poetic joy found in a summery orchard in full bloom, making this one-piece ideal for AM to PM transitions.

5. Jewel Tones

From metallic threads in shades of plum, violet, and fuchsia by Amit Aggarwal to Rimzim Dadu’s bottle green and Sunaina Khera’s sunshine yellow, head-to-toe jewel hues were season favourites.

6. Romantic Flair

Ridhi Mehra gave the sari blouse a romantic update with billowing balloon sleeves, making it perfect for anyone looking to update their traditional or experimental sari style.

7. Dramatic Silhouettes

Ditch the floor-length anarkali for a printed maxi dress, as seen at Punit Balana, decorated with coin work. Add a matching block-print cape for drama and weightless movement.
