5 Traditional Bottoms Every Woman Must Own

Festivities are around the corner. Almost every Indian, whether working woman, college-going student or even a housewife, feel like digging out her ethnic wears from her wardrobe and flaunting them on every festive day. Here are 5 different salwar designs that every ethnic-lover must own.

* Leggings

No need to describe these. A pair of leggings goes on EVERYTHING, literally – on ethnic, casuals, formals, sports, etc. That’s why they top the must-own’s list. Pair them with long or short kurta, maxi-kurta, Anarkali, etc. the list goes on.

* Cigarette Pants

One of the most sophisticated looking salwar designs would be cigarette salwars. Stand-collared kurtas, and the ones that go longer than shins, accentuate cigarette salwars even more.

* Dhoti Salwar

Thanks to the millennial fashion designers, dhotis for women has become a fashion trend. Even thought they look best on short kurta, they can be paired with Anarkalis too. You can add a little twist to your outfit by styling your dupatta as a saree pallu.

* Churidar Salwar

Chudidars are very old and there was not a single year when they went out of style. Even though many usea pair of leggings as a substitute for chudidar salwar, it cannot replace the sophisticated, graceful look the old salwar gives. Pair it with a straight-fit long kurta and a heavy dupatta to achieve an effortless regal look.

* Patiala Salwar

We cannot forget bubbly Geet from ‘Jab We Met’ and Tanu from the song ‘Ghani Bawari’ when it comes to patiala salwars. This multiple-pleated salwar is super comfy and can be paired with short kurtas and even t-shirts. They make for comfortable night-wear in cold winters. Pull a pretty phulkari dupatta to complete its ethnic Punjabi look.
