Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the important festivals of theHindu community. Fashion faux pas are not considered permissible, so one mustdress appropriately for the occasion! However, it completely depends on theperson and how you want to experiment with the traditional look. One should gothe traditional way and mix it with contemporary silhouettes and styles.Colours play an important role in up-lifting an outfit. Pastels and lightcolours are best suited for daytime wear and bright colours may also do thetrick. For when evening comes around, try dark hues of red, blue and green.Bottle green and rust are the colour of this season and they suit Indian skintones whilst working best for traditional attire too.
Typically, clothing for Ganesh Chaturthiconsists of a traditional choli and long skirts. However, over the years, thetrend has changed, encompassing the youthful tastes and attitudes of thegeneration in question. We see many people donning either silk sarees orchudidars and kurtas. Women tend to wear traditional two-piece dresses. Thebelly is usually exposed and the dresses often have long sleeves and a longskirt to enhance flow and rhythm. They are usually of bright colours of red,purple and gold.
Sarees too work best for this occasion. We would suggest embroidered blouseswith three quarter sleeves and plain Georgette bordered sarees. Anarkalis are aclassic, and work best for Ganesh Chathurti as well.
These days we see men wearing kurta chudidar alongsidewomen wearing something similar or donned in sarees. To pull off asophisticated look, women can opt for a longer skirt and team it up with a brocadetailored jacket.
