Rakhi is a traditional Indian Festival. So it is best that one dresses up in Indian wear, to experience the feel of the occasion. Some may not feel comfortable in Indian wear, and may want to switch on to jeans, but what’s the fun wearing jeans when you wear it everyday of your life.

Also, one may wonder how dressing has an implication on a brother-sister relationship. Well, the answer would be that dressing up in accordance to the mood of the festival brings about a special excitement. This is something one cannot deny. And if you still are not convinced just remember that your brother may really be touched seeing you go through the pain of dressing up in something you are not comfortable just for him.

So, have a look at some of the dresses one can wear on this day.

Salwar Kameez: These dresses are available in plenty in the market. Different styles, designs and cuts are bringing a whole fashionable look to salwar kameez’s . Chudhidars and the anarkali style are a real hit now days. A heavy zardosi work salwar or a pattu-bordered salwar adds greatly to the festive look.

Sari / Half Sari: Sari is the best depiction of Indian culture. A beautifully draped sari not only adds beauty but also grace to a woman. Unmarried women on the other hand can resort to a south India tradition half sari style.

Gaghra Choli: A beautiful gagra choli is also a great choice to wear for the occasion. One can wear it in different ways and still look modern and yet very Indian. Try wearing pastel shades for this occasion.

India Ethnic wear: One can wear jeans and a long kurta if they are not comfortable in the above mentioned dresses. One can add on to the look by wearing a pretty stole.

So, gear up yourselves and start shopping ladies…

Have a lovely, Rakhi and enjoy yourselves because it is your day.
