Are you looking forward to flaunting a chic yet out-of-the-box ensemble for the upcoming festivities? If yes, then fusion wear can meet your occasional outfit requirements! It seamlessly blends ethnic and contemporary fashion, forming unique dressing that rightly balances the elegance of a desi look with a hint of modern edginess. Fusion fashion offers a fresh perspective on traditional looks with a creative blend of colours, fabrics, silhouettes, and embellishments!

Bollywood fashionistas are known to experiment with their sartorial picks. Here are some of their fusion-centric looks that are just right to replicate as your festive fashion:

Saree With Jacket

Trust Sonam Kapoor to flaunt something unique yet wearable ensemble. 'Neerja' movie star looked simply gorgeous in a printed soft silk saree in mustard yellow and teamed it up with a balloon-sleeved blouse. The Bollywood fashionista elevated her ethnic wear by layering the top-style blouse with a black velvet jacket with hand-embroidery detailing.

If you pick saree as a festive wear, a fair share of fusion touch can be added to it. For example, select a saree with a modern print like a geometrical or abstract print. Or, pair the quintessential six yards with a shirt-style blouse, or crop top. For layering, go for a boho-style jacket or coat!

Anarkali Gown

Another go-to choice for ethnic celebratory events is a much-preferred Anarkali suit. The ethereal Bollywood beauty Aditi Rao Hydari added a hint of contemporary glam to this safe style choice by wearing a pretty Anarkali-style gown. Her silk pastel brown Anarkali dress had the noted ethnic details like superior fabric sheen, flared silhouette, and bohemian detailing threadwork embroidery, coins, and tassels.

Select a beautiful Anarkali-style dress or get it customised by using your mom's old silk saree. Complement it with modern art jewellery or typical boho jewels like statement silver jhumkas or a choker piece!

Ethnic Print Co-Ord

The Co-ord trend continues to be popular for both casual and occasional style requirements. 'Devara' movie star Janhvi Kapoor looked chic in a co-ord outfit that comprised a halter neckline sleeveless crop top and flared pants. But it was the ethnic print, that added the right fusion touch to the ensemble.

Like Ms Kapoor, choose a co-ord set that has certain desi elements to it like ethnic print, bright colour, or embellishments like embroidery or sequins. Elevate your ethnic glam avatar with statement jewellery pieces like drop earrings, layered neckpiece, kada bangles or even eye-catchy ear cuffs!

Shirt Plus Skirt Combo

Think shirt or skirt and a plain formal piece of garment is what we generally visualize. Pick one in vibrant colour or one with patchwork or detailed threadwork and it gets termed as a fusion clothing. The ever-glamorous Karisma Kapoor shared a lovely inspiration for fusion style by donning a pastel peach silk shirt and matching asymmetrical skirt. The diva layered it with a matching silk jacket with a scalloped border!

For your festive wear, pick a fusion style skirt-top combo and complement it with dress jewellery, juttis, or chappals. And yes, don't forget to carry a potli bag or clutch with mirrorwork or embroidery!

Detailed Skirt Suit

Sonakshi Sinha is known to showcase some of the finest desi and fusion-style outfits in B-Town. The 'Heeramandi' actor shared an inspiring look in a bright orange skirt suit outfit with a mirrorwork blazer and a plain flowy skirt.

Like Ms Sinha, glamourize your fusion avatar by choosing a blazer suit or skirt suit with Indian ethnic detailing. You can even wear a plain skirt-suit ensemble and accentuate it with statement jewellery pieces like jadau earrings, a pearl choker, or stone-encrusted rings!
