Phulkari embroidery is Punjab’s heritage that has a splash of vivacious colors. The oh-so-stunning traditional Phulkari is making its way back to our hearts. Phulkari literally means phool-kari which means flower work. And designers have given the traditional Phulkari a modern-day spin by styling it in different ways. If you’ve ever had a Phulkari piece in your wardrobe, you know how instantly it perks up any outfit.
Here are 7 Phulkari embroidery pieces that you could include in your wardrobe –
Phulkari Dupatta
Spruce up your basic kurta or suit with a colorful Phulkari dupatta! Take cues from singer Neeti Mohan who chose a multi-colored Phulkari dupatta with a simple brocade suit for her mehendi ceremony. These dupattas might seem heavy with the all-over design but they are not! They simply add richness and glam to your outfit and are versatile enough to go with anything. (Shop HERE)
Blouses
Balance your minimalistic saree or skirt with a stunning Phulkari embroidered blouse! It is the easiest way to add that oomph to your simple saree and glam it up. Try various blouse patterns and explore the Phulkari patchwork too. From corset style to back neck patterns, you can experiment with Phulkari blouses.
Vibrant Phulkari Saree
Just as the stunning dupatta, a Phulkari embroidered saree would be a splendid addition to your wardrobe. A saree with either a Phulkari border or pallu adds grace to your look when worn. Also, Phulkari sarees are available even in fabrics like cotton, georgette, silk, and crepe.
