Question

Where can I find Desi clothing online?

Answer

Etsy is a great option with a range of prices! Search "Desi Haldi Outfits" on Etsy, and update the Filter to "Star Seller". As some sellers ship from India, please take note of the estimated delivery before ordering. $ https://www.cbazaar.com/ - If you use this option, just make sure to order in advance in case there are any issues with the delivery. $$ https://www.lashkaraa.com/ https://www.kalkifashion.com/ https://riyaasat.in/ - Be sure to change the currency option in lower lefthand corner to US dollars. https://www.dashanddot.com/ https://www.manyavar.com/ - Especially good for more masculine fits. $$$ https://www.perniaspopupshop.com/

Question

Where can I shop for Desi clothing in person?

Answer

If you are in the NY/NJ area, here are some options for where to shop. Indian-style clothing typically has a different sizing system than standard US sizes. The first time you enter a Desi clothing store, tell the store clerk you don't know your size. They are usually happy to take quick measurements and direct you to some options. Roop Collection in Queens, NY - We recommend taking a look at the store's Instagram @roop.collection.ny and reaching out before going to the store. Regards Wholesale in Spotswood, NJ - One building has women's clothing, the other has clothing for men and children. There are several shops in one area of Iselin, NJ, such as Manyavar and Nazranaa, with a variety of options and price points.

Question

Can you share more details about Haldi outfits?

Answer

A standard masculine outfit for a Haldi is a breathable, lightweight kurta pajama. A simple, straight-cut jacquard or cotton silk kurta works great paired with a white kurta pajama pant. More feminine outfits worn to a Haldi ceremony can include sarees, lehengas, sharara and palazzo sets, and more. Breezy fabrics that are easy to move in are ideal. Colors: Yellows, oranges, pinks, greens, purple, and very light blues are best. Regardless of whether you wear western, desi, or attire of any other culture, as long as the outfit has bright colors, you can't go wrong! Shoes: Dress comfortably. The Haldi will take place outside in a backyard.
