The festive season has arrived- a time of joy, gatherings, and vibrant celebrations. While traditional attire has long been the hallmark of festive fashion, there's a growing trend to infuse a touch of contemporary elegance into our festive wardrobe. Western outfits, with their modern designs, chic silhouettes, and a fusion of cultural influences, offer a fresh perspective on festive dressing. From glamorous gowns to trendy corsets, let's dive into the realm of contemporary fashion and discover how to make a statement while reveling in the festivities.


Fashion Trends For Western Outfits:


Shikha Parmar, who is the Founder & CEO, of The Bae Club said, "In 2022, fashion witnessed a resurgence of chic dressing, leading to an increase in unique party pieces and luxury rentals. Looking ahead to 2023, we anticipate a division among fashion enthusiasts: some embracing sheer and bold looks, while others opt for understated elegance with maxi-length hemlines and sleek tailoring. The colour trends include a resurgence of red and the rise of buttery yellow. Scarves integrated into clothing are also gaining popularity, as are off-the-shoulder tops and statement earrings."

"Sheer paneling and grunge styles are making a comeback, driven by a desire for variety and a nod to the chaotic times. Modesty is also gaining traction in fashion, with longer hemlines and tailored looks becoming prominent. Women's ties are breaking gender norms, allowing for creative styling. The peplum trend is back, offering versatility from edgy to casual chic. Overall, 2023 promises a diverse range of fashion choices, with an emphasis on personal expression and creativity," she added.


Fond Of Denims? Know The Perfect Way To Style Them:

 

Gurpreet Singh, who is the Director of River of Design (ROD) said, "Denim is such a versatile fabric and combined with GenZ fashion sense, it makes for great festive outfits. For example denim kurtas with intricate embroidery and embellishments can be a go-to choice for young adults this Diwali season. It's the perfect example of blending tradition with modernity. Another way people can style denim is by opting for embellished denim crop tops and jackets to go with ethnic skirts and lehengas. The vibrant prints and mirrorwork can add the necessary festive bling. And for more low key affair ones, they can always opt to style a classic pair of denims with more flamboyant tops and accessories to capture the spirit of joy and celebration" 


Ace Your Fashion Game With Pretty Corsets:


Suman Bharti, who is the Founder & CEO, of Bunny Corset suggested ways to ace your fashion game with corsets


"Opt for a corset with delicate detailing that highlights your waist. You can even pair your corsets with a saree. To highlight your waist and create a chic focal point, choose a corset in a deep, festive colour. For a rich and opulent appearance, you can play with textures by wearing your corset with different materials like silk, velvet, lace or even leather. To create a stunning and functional look, layer your corset with trendy jackets with rivets or fringes, shrug, or blazers. It adds warmth and flair to your outfit. Don't be afraid to mix and match your corset with different bottoms like skirts, trousers, or even jeans. Experiment with various combinations to create a unique and stylish look," said Suman.


Make A Statement With Streetwear Trends:


Sahil Nandal, who is the Co-founder of Free Society suggested the following:


Oversized Fits: Loose-fitting clothing, such as baggy t-shirts and hoodies, allows for more freedom of movement and a more carefree, laid-back feel. The oversized trend is inherently gender-neutral, so, a plus point for diversity. 


Cargo Pants: In 2023, cargo pants have made a reappearance as they blend both practicality and style. Opt for ones that fit loosely and have several pockets. Cargo pants easily transition to your preferred style, whether you wear them with sneakers and a graphic tee for a more laid-back vibe or combat boots and a hoodie for a more edgy look.


Bucket Hats: Try experimenting with different colours and designs on a variety of fabrics, such as cotton, denim, or nylon. They add such a fresh pop to an outfit while fitting in well with a variety of aesthetics, including casual, punk and hip-hop styles. 


Corduroy: This material goes great with vintage streetwear. It is renowned for being comfortable and durable, and you can find it in a lot of pieces including caps, jackets, jeans and even sneakers. Various staple streetwear pieces, such hoodies, sneakers and graphic tees, blend well with corduroy.


Crossbody Bags: They go well with the streetwear aesthetic, which combines casual and urban trends to create a wearable piece that is both practical and trendy. Various ways they can be worn are around the waist, across the chest, or over the shoulder. 


There you have it, this season's most stylish streetwear trends. Remember to keep expressing yourself, trying new things, and most importantly, have fun with your style.
