Formal Dressing Indian Styles for Women

This is my special contribution for women who want conservative dressing advice. How do you dress a lady who does not like to show her shoulders or maybe the tip of her ankle?

My advice to conventional Indian women who want to dress the conservative way is, being conservative about clothes you wear reflects nothing but your comfort levels in public.

So don’t feel defensive about it. Hands down, there is no arguing about it that each woman envisions her body and style of clothes in a different comfort zone than others.

In India, it is very common to find families that are very particular about what their daughters and daughters-in-law wear in public.

Here’s my helping hand to our traditional women, who want to fit into the corporate world, where tight fitted office shirts with a peek-a-boo cleavage show and swanky high heels are common, with an élan and style of their own.

* Ensemble One

A simple high necked and hemmed colour kurti with a simple Patiala salwar, and smart shoes. Nowadays kurti with three-fourth sleeves are in vogue.

It’s my personal favourite, as it looks super-classy, and the length maintains your body’s shape. Go colour blocking, it’s doing the round these days. (Check out Get Stylish with Color Blocking)

* Ensemble Two

If you are fashionista living in a conservative and traditional environment, or with parents, then here’s a special deal for you. Try getting yourself the new Jodhpuris pants in vogue, and couple it with a crisp white shirt. This is sure to make a many jealous.

There are two reasons I recommend this outfit. This is because, the Jodhpuris cover the entire leg and a crisp shirt, and not necessarily tight (in fact I prefer a baggy one), can do wonders for an old school gorgeous lady like you.

* Ensemble Three

You want to wear a simple sari and make it look sexy and classy without the skin show? Get a tailor made cap sleeve blouse of half chiffon, and half cotton, with cotton for the bodice, and chiffon for the sleeves.

It’s difficult to explain, but yes, I’m talking about something like Kareena Kapoor donned in chart buster song ‘Chammak Challo’ in the movie, Ra-One. There is no need to worry when it comes to dressing up and be full-clothed.

Do let me know if you have any further queries. I can suggest a few more ideas, or maybe take you off a dilemma, for a party on Saturday night this weekend.
