These 6 ethnic outfits have everything we love about Indian attire, all in contemporary designs that are perfect for celebrating the festivities. Keep scrolling for more…

Blouse and lehenga set

This light pink set from Melange by Lifestyle is the epitome of femininity. The delicate layers and light embroidery give it an elegant appeal, made for special occasions. The spaghetti-strap blouse is detailed with pretty floral prints, a hint of which can be seen on the foil-printed hems of the pink dupatta. Team it with the layered lehenga in the same pink hue for stylish ethnic wear outfit ideas.

Blouse and palazzo set

Melange by Lifestyle outdoes itself with this gorgeous blouse and palazzo set. The rich wine red hue is only enhanced by the shimmering gold ethnic prints. The well-fitted blouse has a V-neck and sleeveless design, which contrasts well with the baggy palazzo pants with flared hems. The last touch – the ruffled cape in a sheer fabric, pulls the whole outfit together. This would look trendy as Diwali outfits as much as it would as Dusshera outfits!

Top and skirt set

For those who prefer less skin-bearing outfits, this attached top and skirt ethnic dress from W shows you that these ethnic clothes ideas are anything but dull.

The same goes for the flowing ankle-length ethnic skirt that has an interesting medley of prints.

Crop top with ethnic skirt

The ethnic crop top and skirt combo is a more contemporary take on trendy traditional outfits. The sleeveless V-neck top bares a little skin around the waistline to give a more modern chic look. The bright red colour, along with gold prints, complements the long ethnic skirt in blue. When worn together, it will leave a lasting impression on those who see you.

The simple three-quarter sleeves and the round neckline is taken up a notch by the embellished skirt detailed with eye-catching prints. The drape detail, also covered in similar prints, adds a more traditional touch to this midi-length dress. Wearing this striking dress at all the special soirees won’t just get you second looks, but everyone will be asking you for ethnic styling tips!
