Indo Western Dresses - To Raise Up Your Overall Look

Posted by nihalfashions on September 1st, 2015

Indo-Western clothes are all the rage these days, and it’s easy to see why some of the World’s most fashionable are wearing them. The fusion of South Asian and Western fashion has given birth to a whole new fashion aesthetic that is not only elegant, but also easy and comfortable to wear. The interesting merging of Western and traditional clothing styles is embraced not only by the younger generation of Indians, but also by Westerners who are enamored by the relaxed chicness of such garments. If you want an alternative to traditional sarees and salwar kameez, then try Indo-Western clothing. 

The quintessential Indo-Western getup is the ‘trouser suit,’ which combines a short kurta with a dupatta and pants. Some of the best designs feature short dupattas, sleeveless tops, and slit pants. New cuts and styles are emerging rapidly as Indian designers keep up with current trends. People who wear Indo-Western fusion clothing also love to pair jeans with a salwar, choli, or kurta. They add a dupatta to their Western-style ensemble, too. Some also wear a lehnga with their halter or tank top. 

Distinctive Elements of Indo-Western Dresses and Fashions 

The traditional Indian salwar typically has sleeves (either long or short). Indo-Western designs may be altogether sleeveless or use thin spaghetti straps to resemble the style of halter and tank tops. You will also find poncho-style tops and even one-sleeved cuts following the latest Western trends. For women who want to cover their arms, options include balloon sleeves and raglan sleeves.

The length of Indo-Western garments is also different from their traditional counterparts. For example, Indo-Western salwars and kurtas are shorter than traditional garments; in fact, they are short enough to resemble Western-style tops. Necklines also vary. Plunging necklines are common in Indo-Western dresses—a feature that you won’t find in traditionally styled Indian garments.
