Velvet: A Guide to Mastering Winter Style in India

 

Winter is here in India, and it's time to ditch the drab and cosy up to the opulent warmth of velvet. We're talking about more than just your grandma's favourite sofa fabric—velvet is the go-to trend for winter fashion, and we've got the lowdown on how to slay it with kurta sets, blazer dresses, potlis, juttis, and everything in between.


First up, let's talk about kurta sets. We are past the days when kurtas were reserved for traditional occasions. This winter, rock a velvet kurta set for the ultimate fusion of tradition and trend. Picture this: a deep blue kurta paired with wide-legged palazzos, designed with detailed gold embroidery. Mix and match colours, experiment with silhouettes, and watch heads turn.



If you think blazers were confined to boardrooms, reconsider again. Presenting the idea of blazer dresses—your ticket to powerful styling. Opt for a knee-length velvet blazer dress in midnight blue or rich wine hues. Style at the waist with a statement belt for a silhouette that screams confidence.


Now, let's talk about accessories. A potli bag is an accessory; which is essential to complete your overall style. Pick out a potli with rich embroidery or beading to give something of retro character to your ensemble. These tiny wonders aren't just eye-catching; they're practical too. Perfect for carrying your essentials without compromising on style, potlis are the velvet cherry on top of your winter look.


Juttis are uncontested champions of comfort-meets-style footwear. Swap out your regular shoes or sandals for velvet juttis in rich jewel tones. Embellished with sequins, beads, or traditional embroidery, these slip-ons are the definition of laid-back luxury. Velvet juttis can effortlessly change your winter style without compromising on the snug factor.


Now that you've got the essentials down, let's talk about styling. Don't be afraid to mix and match textures. Pair a sleek velvet blazer dress with chunky statement jewellery or contrast a heavily embroidered kurta set with minimalist accessories



So, this winter, think about adding some velvet to whatever you're wearing. From kurta sets to blazer dresses, not to mention fashionable potlis and juttis, velvet has you covered. It is not only for a particular group, but for everyone and so you'll feel warm and cosy. Give it a go, and let's upgrade the winter wardrobe for all! 


Stay warm and hot with stylishness!
