The straight kurta from Melange by Lifestyle in an Off-White colour has subtle embroidery on the bodice and is the perfect match to a Gold churidar. If you opt for Span, the straight kurta has a more detailed embroidery with a dotted design throughout the fabric – the perfect complement to Gold straight pants.
You can also try a maxi skirt and tunic or ethnic crop top for an Onam dress for ladies. The flared tunic from Indya is a one-of-a-kind piece complete with half-sleeves, a bodice with zari work and sequin embellishments and flowing sheer fabric. Pair it with a Golden Yellow printed maxi skirt. Another maxi skirt right for the occasion is from De Moza and is designed with a flared hemline and a detailed print at the bottom.
