Bring back Gujarati bandhani

Boho chi
Select striking bold primary and secondary shades like tangerine, indigo, mustard, berry, purple, ash, black and Indian red for layered, soft silhouettes. While a simple tie and dye tunic can make your look stand out, the real key lies in fabric manipulation; make sure it's intricate. Make use of patchwork appliqués, quilting and clamp dye techniques on pure handloom fabrics like cotton, silk and linen for a dash of bohemian.
Tip: Top this look with a tasselled scarf for contemporary styling.


Glamourously traditional
Think of the transition from a summer vacation to a summer wedding. Own Gujarati tradition in your own unique way by bringing together versatile separates like classic clinched shirt dresses and shifts, wide-legged jumpsuits and pinafores, dhoti pants and slitted skirts, structured embroidered jackets and draped overlays. Go for feminine colours that are pleasing to the eye. Remember, if you have a bandhani bottom, stick to a plain top and vice versa. A top-to-bottom bandhani look isn't recommended unless you're a daring fashionista.


Bomber in bandhani (Tanya Sharma)
If you love experimenting with your silhouettes, this one's for you. How about giving your bombers and hoodies a distinct Indian touch with bandhani? So different yet so sassy! Play around brazenly with silhouettes, fabrics and treatments to create comfortable pieces like jackets that fit you no matter your shape or size. You can wear it casually, even go clubbing in it or embroider it to wear it at a wedding. You can dress it up or dress it down as per your preference.
