Keep aside your old silhouettes and try something different this season. Draped tunics are now the thing and a musthave in your wardrobe.
They are comfortable, extremely stylish and can be worn anywhere and everywhere. This popular style is now gaining its due respect and making way to international ramps as well. The usage of Grecian drapes on this simple tunic looks great, very modern and chic. Adding that extra flair to a casual piece makes you stand out.
Opt for colours like aquatic tones in blue, green and mauve along with neutral shades of white/offwhite with detailing of brighter tones. For festive dressing, choose colours like red, maroon, black, off-white.
Shirt style drape tunics look elegant for office wear. You can pair them with leg gings in contrast colours.
Go for fabrics like linen, cotton for daily wear. For festive occasions and par ties you can try them in satin or crepe.
Women on the heavier side can opt for kurta-style draped tunics, the advantage for them is these garments are loose and comfy, hence they won't highlight your curves and you will feel much more confident donning them.
Don't accessorise too much on the neck, let drapes be the central highlight. Go for simple danglers.
For winters, wrap a nice printed shawl or a scarf shawl or a scarf over it.
