This Vishu, take style cues from your favorite celebrities! From the timeless elegance of traditional Kasavu sarees to the modern flair of fusion outfits, let star-studded fashion inspire your festive wardrobe and help you slay the season in ultimate style.
A timeless choice for Vishu, the cream or off-white Kerala saree with golden Kasavu borders exudes elegance and tradition. Pair it with a contrasting blouse in vibrant shades like red, green, or gold to add a festive touch. Style it with traditional gold jewelry, such as jhumkas, necklaces, bangles, and anklets, to complete the look. Adding fresh jasmine flowers to your hair enhances the charm. This classic attire is perfect for the Vishu Kani and family celebrations.
A traditional two-piece garment, the Set Mundu consists of a Kasavu-bordered fabric draped around the waist and a matching upper piece (Veshti). Pair it with a well-fitted blouse in a complementary color, and you can drape the Veshti in various styles to add a modern touch. Adorn the outfit with gold jewelry and jasmine blooms for a blend of sophistication and cultural pride.
For a stylish yet comfortable outfit, choose a silk or cotton skirt in festive shades like gold, yellow, or green. Pair it with an embellished blouse and a coordinating dupatta with subtle zari or embroidery. This look offers the convenience of modern wear while retaining traditional aesthetics. Add gold jewelry and minimal makeup to keep the focus on the vibrant attire.
Experiment with fusion styles by pairing ethnic elements with contemporary pieces. For example, a brocade crop top with a flowy skirt or an Indo-western dress in festive hues. Add traditional motifs like paisley or temple designs to bridge the gap between modern and cultural. Traditional gold jewelry or statement pieces like Chandbali earrings can tie the look together beautifully.
No Vishu look is complete without the perfect accessories. Opt for jasmine flower, gold jewelry with intricate designs, traditional bangles, waist chains, and anklets. Consider a sleek clutch or potli bag in matching colors with subtle embellishments. Don’t forget fresh jasmine flowers for your hair to add an authentic festive vibe to your attire.
