5 Types of Bottom to Pair with Straight Suits
Straight suits are one of the most popular styles of salwar kameez. People find extreme comfort in wearing these because of the simple cut. However, there are so many different ways in which you can style a straight suit. The anarkali suit, the A-Line cut and the asymmetric hemline suits are all fine but it is the style of a straight suit that essentially makes them an outfit that can be worn to any occasion, whatsoever.
Along with this, there are different types of bottom that you can pair with a straight top. By alternating between different styles of bottom, you can easily get a new look without much ado. Here are some of the popular types of bottoms that you can pair with straight suits:
- Palazzo pants
Palazzo pants look amazing with straight top. Get a well fitted top and pair it with satin or santoon fabric palazzo. The palazzo pants are airy and comfortable; they are extremely stylish too, making them the perfect thing to wear with anything.
- Churidar
Churidar is the staple bottom style worn with a straight suit. Forming bangles or churi at the end, this bottom style has always been a favorite and looks like the style won’t fade away any time soon.
- Patiala
Patiala salwar is as elaborate as it can get. The pleated loose yet well structured salwar style is immensely popular with women from north India. The Patiala salwar derives its name and style as a heritage from the state of Patiala. The full Patiala or shahi Patiala can be replaced with a semi Patiala for a toned down look.
- Pants or straight bottom
Pants or straight bottom are structured like a straight pant or trousers. These look great with long length straight top. The pants can be plain or embroidered or printed. Whatever the style is, it is the formal appeal of the pants or straight bottom that accentuates the look of the straight top.
- Short bottom
Why go with the quintessential choices that we always make. Pick a short length bottom, ankle-length, preferably with a medium length top. The style is perfect for college going girls and just works brilliantly as a semi formal outfit.
There are other different types of bottom as well. Pairing a sharara with a straight top or for that matter a loose cotton skirt is also a good option but this look works when you are aiming to dress up. As far as casual straight suits are concerned, simple straight salwar, pants style bottom or churidar look the best. The palazzo bottom and the trousers look the best when paired with a Pakistani suit top. Pakistani suits that are long in length look stunning with slightly loose palazzo pants or short trousers style bottom.
The Indian ethnic wear is quite versatile, be it straight suit, anarkali suit, sarees or lehengas, you will always have a lot of room for experimentation. Also, the comfort and style of Indian ethnic wear makes it something that you will find in the closet of every Indian woman.

Amongst the many different types of asymmetric kurtis available, there are some which are a hot favorite. In this blog, we will see the best 5 different asymmetric hemline party wear kurtis:
- C-cut kurti: A c-cut kurti features a c cut in the front or the back. The C-cut kurti can have a slight c-cut or a deep cut that might even run just below the waist. The C-cut hemline looks absolutely amazing.
- Trail cut kurti: The trail cut also looks amazing in party wear kurtis; the Trail cut kurti has a trail on the back, front or on the sides. The trail on the back looks most amazing because it gives the kurti the effect of a princess gown with a trail following the person wearing it.
- Tulip cut kurti: in the tulip cut, two hemlines overlap each other. This kurti looks beautiful because of its interesting structure.
- Slit with curved border: A kurti with a slit right at the centre from the waist to below, with curved border that features lace work or embroidery work can do up the look of a kurti. The slit anyways looks quite appealing.
- Asymmetric hemline: Asymmetric hemline at front and back, with either one of them being short with the other being long. A kurti with a front side that is short with straight hemline, length to the waist with the fabric at the back reaching a little below the ankle. This style of kurti is also good to experiment with. Shirt style kurti with button work on the front or lace work on the yoke looks appealing.

5 Ways to Drape Party Wear Sarees
When it comes to party wear sarees, either you can buy a fancy saree and then wear it to suit the occasion or you can drape a saree in some different way to get the party wear look. Draping the saree differently can actually make a lot of difference, even if you drape the simplest of saree in an elaborate style, the end result will be worthy of applaud. There is of course the simple way of draping a saree but there are also some chic new ways of draping party wear sarees which add more to your look.
- Bollywood drape style
The bollywood drape style is a hot favorite. Everyone women intend to get the look of her favorite star. The bollywood drape style usually involves a bit of skin show, the saree is tied a little below the navel and the pallu is draped to not conceal the navel from showing. Bollywood drape style closely resembles nivi drape style but it is just a more glamorous version of the latter.
- Dhoti drape style
Drape a simple handloom, Khadi or georgette saree in dhoti style. For the dhoti style, the saree fabric is draped as a dhoti. You may or may not wear a slacks or leggings under it. The dhoti style drape is quite in vogue and you must have seen many bollywood actresses flaunting the same. While draping the dhoti style saree, you must take care of the fact that the border should show, also the pleats on the front and back should be secured neatly.
- Pant style saree
This style is perfect for the young working women. For the next party, wear the saree with pants i.e. instead of wearing a petticoat wear pants underneath and drape the saree in a manner that the pants do show. This style is extremely comfortable; you can wear this drape to any occasion, formal or semi formal. This is of course a rather unorthodox way of draping a saree but it is still very easy to carry.
- Regional Drapes
Instead of going with the usual drapes, look for regional drape style. Gujarati drape, maharashtrian drape, south Indian drape…these all are different from one another. You can easily pick a regional drape for your next party look. Bengali drape and maharashtrian drape happen to be one of my personal favorites.
- Double Drape
Most of the party wear sarees flaunt a beautifully designer border. To highlight the border, double drape the pallu. Once you are done wrapping the saree in the usual manner, again wrap it around the waist in a way that the border is visible. Next, wrap around the pallu in the normal way, from under the arm to the shoulder. The double drape is a fun way to drape a saree and is certainly the best drape to showcase the border.
Before you buy bridal lehenga, keep these tips in mind
If you’re willing to buy bridal lehenga for your wedding day or planning on gifting to someone who’re getting married then be sure to keep some things in mind that will help you in deciding the dress. Wedding day is one of the most important days of bride’s life and it is very important that you pick bridal lehenga which not only looks beautiful but also feels comfortable. Bride has to manage in that dress for the entire night and if the lehenga isn’t comfortable you can only imagine that it will ruin her day.
There are many things that you should consider before you buy bridal lehenga online or from any shop. First thing you should keep in mind is that select the fabric very carefully. You can pick a fabric according to the season, if it is a summer season then avoid going for heavy fabrics and same goes in winter season. Also remember the time of the day; if it’s a day wedding then you can go for lehenga in dark colors like dark maroon, royal red but if the wedding is at night like it usually does then make sure that you pick light colors. Why not try some different colors this time like green or purple or many more colors to choose from.
One thing that many of us neglect is that not creating a pre budget. If you don’t plan a budget beforehand, you may end up getting confused and may pick a dress which is out of your budget. Buying dresses like designer lehenga can be bit expensive, its better that you decide before in which range you want the dress in, so that you can avoid awkward situations where you end up having no money.
