Welcome Party & Sangeet – Indian Formal Attire Shopping Guide

Answer

We’re so excited to have you join us for our Welcome Party Sangeet, a fun and festive celebration before the big day! To make it easier for our guests who may not be familiar with Indian clothing, we’ve put together this guide to help you find the perfect outfit. Women’s Attire: Saree: A saree is a traditional and elegant option. It consists of a long piece of fabric, usually 5-9 yards, that you drape over the body. Sarees come in a variety of fabrics (silk, cotton, chiffon) and colors, and they can be paired with a blouse and petticoat underneath. Lehenga Choli: A lehenga choli consists of a long skirt (lehenga), a blouse (choli), and a dupatta (long scarf). It's a very popular outfit for formal events and comes in a range of colors, patterns, and styles. Anarkali or Salwar Kameez: An Anarkali is a long, flowing dress with a fitted bodice and flared skirt. A Salwar Kameez consists of a long tunic paired with trousers and a scarf (dupatta). Both are elegant choices for a more relaxed but still formal option. Men’s Attire: Sherwani: A sherwani is a traditional men’s outfit, similar to a long coat, that’s often worn at weddings and formal occasions. It’s usually paired with a churidar (tightly fitting trousers) or a kurta (long shirt). Kurta: A kurta is a long tunic-style shirt, paired with a pajama (loose-fitting trousers) or churidar. It’s a comfortable, stylish, and slightly more casual option compared to the sherwani, but still very much suited for a formal event. Nehru Jacket: A Nehru jacket is a waistcoat-style jacket often worn over a kurta or with a shirt. It’s a versatile and stylish option that can add a sophisticated touch.
