Be it a housewife, a working woman or a bollywood diva, every woman surely owns
Patiala suits because of the style statement they can give you. Patiala suits
that have origin in Patiala were an outfit for the royal king of Patiala and
the regal appeal of a Patiala suit
is still intact.
Styling a Patiala suit is easy because the outfit in itself
is quite elaborate; However, If you are dressing up in the Patiala suit for a
special occasion and want to get the perfect Punjabi look, here are some style
tips for you to dress to perfection in Patiala suits:
Dupatta
For styling a Patiala
suit, pair it up with a phulkari work dupatta. Most of the women who love
donning Patiala salwar suit do own a phulkari work dupatta. The great think
about a phulkari dupatta is that because of many different colors, you can pair
it up with many different suits. If you have a plain white kurti and a black
salwar, pair it with the phulkari dupatta and the look will work for any party
or formal occasion.
Paranda
Braided hairs look great with Patiala suit; it’s just
something that goes with the essence of the Punjabi suits well. For a chic
Punjabi look, wear a colorful paranda on the braided hairs. The colorful
parandas come in all sorts of colors and have beautiful latkans and
embellishments stitched on to the end of the paranda. If you want to customize
your outfit, match the color of the embellishments and design on the paranda
with that on you suit.
Salwar style
The Patiala salwar carries multiple pleats; a full Patiala
is a heavy salwar bottom that can light up even the simplest of top or kurti.
You do not essentially have to wear a full Patiala salwar or shahi Patiala
salwar; you can switch to semi Patiala salwar for a semi formal occasion.
Jutti
If you have ever been to Punjab or any area that has
cultural influence of Punjab, you will see men and women wearing jutti. A
Patiala salwar kameez can be paired with heels or simple sandals but it looks
best with a jutti. A suggestion here, though, if you are wearing a jutti for
the first time, make sure that you wear it once or twice before you go out
wearing it for an occasion. Much like a ballerina or shoes, it takes time for
your feet to find comfort in a jutti, you can also soak a cotton ball in
mustard oil and rub it inside the jutti, especially where you fingers will slip
in, to make it more comfortable to wear.
Bangles
Wear a statement bracelet or
bangles with the Patiala salwar kameez. Bangles are considered to be a very
essential accessory that most Indian women wear with ethnic wear. With pakistani suits
as well, the bangles can look great, especially if you wear colorful bangles
that complement the colors in your suit.
Styling of a Patiala suit is
quite easy because of the inborn elegance and gracefulness that it has but
these tips will further accentuate your look in a Patiala suit.
