Onam: Dress your best with these outfit choices

Onam, one of the greatest festivals in Kerala, is approaching. And it's time to get your traditional attires ready to look your best. Kerala's traditional clothing stands out for its modesty. The most pious and auspicious colors during Onam celebrations are believed to be white, off-white, and gold. Here are a few options you can consider wearing for this Onam.

Go with your traditional Onam attire but add a twist. Combine your classic white shirt with a gold maxi embroidered skirt. You could also pair your white shirt with a skirt of any color. Just make sure it has a golden shade in it. Complement your outfit with a heavy neckpiece, simple earrings and large curls.

A beige and black handwoven tissue silk saree will revitalize your wardrobe with its scallop and organza accents. The fabric's shimmering effect bestows these sarees with a distinct and glamorous appearance. Tissue silk is intricately woven using fine threads of silk, metallic fibers, or synthetic materials, resulting in a luxurious texture. Pair this exquisite ensemble with stunning jewelry for your Onam celebrations.

If you wish to go all traditional, choose a classic kasavu (gold zari border) saree. They may be worn to almost any special event. You might get a gold/colored blouse to go with it and accessorize with gold-plated silver earrings. You can also add a choker to round off your outfit, depending on the neckline of the blouse.

Onam fashion today is all about exuding a relaxed vibe. A salwar suit makes it easy for you to move around and enjoy the festival freely. This season, go for gorgeous chikankari kurtis, preferably one in white or pastel shades. Pair it with cotton pants and a chiffon dupatta set. Complete the look with heavy or long earrings and a gorgeous neckpiece.

Be a happy spirit during Onam and choose an off-white embroidered chanderi top with a cotton skirt and dupatta combo. You can go for a beautiful solid-colored gold dupatta as well. Dress it up by donning golden slippers and jhumkas. This elegant ensemble is not only light but also fashionable and can be used for any special occasion later.
