Less is more, especially when it comes to Indian ethnic wear: 

Indian ethnic wear has slowly become an expression of one's personality, especially with extravagant prints and vivacious colors. For girls who want a little something extra to elevate their look without being over the top, we suggest pairing a bright dupatta with a neutral ethnic Kurti. 

Sometimes, all you need is makeup:

You never want your makeup to overpower your outfit, rather you want it to compliment it. So, knowing how much is too much or too little is extremely important in styling Indian ethnic wear. 

  • Match your lipstick to the color of your Kurti for a coordinated chic vibe. 
  • Smokey eyes are always a classic go-to hack to amp up your Kurti game. 
  • Keeping it classic with minimal colors and neutral tones will always pair nicely with any Indian ethnic wear. 
  • The no-makeup makeup look is perfect for girls looking for an elegant soft look.
