3 Beautiful Festive Outfits That Won't Entirely Break The Bank

With the season of festivals and weddings almost upon us, it's time to start prepping. Festivals and shaadi season come with their fair share of celebratory parties. While the goal of these celebrations is always to have the best time that one can, looking festive and fabulous is also always a big part of the occasion. After all, one never truly feels the complete gamut of festivities until you dress up in your best Indian wear and put your party shoes (or juttis / kolhapuris) on. Buying new clothes every season, however, seems like quite the ordeal given just how exorbitant the price of an entire Indian outfit can be; which is why, we're here to help. We found a few outfits that will make you stand out through the festivities and are reasonably priced for all the work that they come with.

Here are a few Indian outfits we think would be perfect to buy even on a budget.

1. Begum kurta and sharara set

This blush kurta and sharara set from Khara Kapas comes detailed with foil print and intricate lace and gota work all across. The dupatta is immersed in leheriya print that subtly breaks the monotony of the monotoned outfit. It's 100% cotton and fully lined and comes priced at Rs. 14,000. A steal for the three pieced, fully worked on outfit, if you ask us.

2. Benarasi silk saree

Thanks to every second celebrity wearing Benarasi prints, this is a trend that has skyrocketed this season. This pink Benarasi silk saree from Via East on Jaypore is perfect for anyone who wants to look festive and elegant without digging too deep a hole in their pockets. Priced at Rs. 6,999, this saree can see you through not just festivals, but can be a standout piece even during weddings.

3. The Samarkand lehenga

This hand block-printed anar print lehenga from The Jodi Life comes in Indian gajji silk. This Persian blue lehenga is hand embroidered with zardozi work and features hand beaded tassels. It comes with an embroidered wrap blouse, embellished flared skirt with gota lace on the bottom hem and a hand embroidered chanderi dupatta. For sale at Rs. 16,000 at the moment, we think it's a must buy.
