Are you also, just like us, bored of wearing the same solid coloured lehengas and chikankari anarkalis this festive season? Are you looking for that one piece that will turn all heads and make you the talk of the party? Your search can end here because we’ve found the perfect fix for you- brocade. It's time to revisit our love for the rich fabric.
We’re not talking about the done and dusted brocade sarees; we’re talking about giving it a modern twist with pieces like Tarun Tahiliani’s tie-up brocade jacket and pants that will make you stand out at any social event. If you're sceptical about being decked in brocade from head to toe, you can play it safe with Payal Khandwala's silk kaftan or pair Ekaya's garnet silk pants with a sheer blouse. Either way, stepping out of your comfort zone and experimenting with this iconic fabric seems indispensable this season. A contemporary touch to the fine gold and zari work will definitely make jaws drop and eyes pop. The luxurious and classic appeal of the fabric will also give you the extra dose of confidence and sass which we all need for those end of the year festivities. Say no to being a wallflower with the unmatched elegance and timelessness of brocade.
We’ve rounded up 10 versatile brocade pieces that are a must-add to your festive wardrobe and perfect to mix and match.
