Dressing up is an integral part of Indian festivals, whether it is Diwali, Baisakhi or Raakhi. We love to dress up and celebrate. Period. Vibrant colors are usually the mainstay of all our festive clothing with bright reds, shocking pinks and glowing oranges dominating the scene when it comes to dress selection.
However, how many of you have tried to rock the festival look with the classic black and white combination? The black and white theme is usually related more with western wear and also considered too simple when it comes to ethnic wear for a festival. However, we will show you how this look can be incorporated into Indian wear in a glitzy way, by introducing a third color ‐ gold.

All you need is a white saree or a dupatta, which are quite easy to find. Next, you will need a thick zari border and a black velvet border, both of which are also not too difficult to source. Get these latter two stitched on to your white base cloth, this can be easily done with the help of your tailor.

You will rock the scene with your hair done up in an updo as it will allow the focus to be on the ensemble itself.

All eyes will still be on you due to the stylization and elegance of your attire. So, this festive season, why don’t you go ahead and flaunt the black and white combo.
