Indian wear does not mean you have to always go for heavily embroidered pieces!! Avoid any kind of bling if you are wearing ethnic outfits during the day or to work/college. Go for simple printed or solid pieces in bright and soothing colors. Even when attending a wedding, try to steer clear of fabrics with too much stonework. Go for elegant and classy embroidered fabrics.

2. Ill-Fitting Clothes

No matter what, do not commit this cardinal sin of fashion even when you are wearing Indian wear. Make sure that you buy the correct size while shopping for Indian wear be it online or offline. The clothes should neither be too tight nor too loose if you want to look your best!! Fitting is very crucial when it comes to Indian outfits. If there are minor issues, get your kurti or blouse altered by the local tailor. In case of cotton salwar suits, get a size bigger as they tend to shrink.

3. Fabric Matters

The choice of fabric matters a lot when it comes to Indian wear. Heavy fabrics like brocade or silk are more suitable for winters while chiffon and linen for summers. The wrong choice of fabric can lead to extreme discomfort.

4. Not keeping in mind the time of the day

You must keep in mind what time of the day will you be wearing the outfit while choosing the color. Save the dark or too bright colors for the night and go for subtle and pastel colors during the day. Some colors can be too hurting for the eyes during the day.

5. The wrong footwear

6. Choosing the wrong blouse sleeves

You must be careful while choosing the kind of sleeves you want for your saree blouse. It is very important to keep in mind ones body type while doing so. A person with broad shoulders should avoid puffy sleeves. Also, make sure the sleeves are well-fitted and not too loose.
