Wearing ethnic to work can be tricky, but if done well, it can be a total hit too! The only thing we need to keep in mind is how to balance the blings and colours with the appropriate amount of skin! Dressing up in those lovely kurtas, palazzos and sarees sometimes can be so refreshing, and it definitely looks pretty! Especially with a dash of kohled eyes, danglers, and that tiny bindi! We love to wear the fusion versions to work since they are the most comfortable and airy! Here are some ways in which members of Team POPxo style their Indian wear to work and make them look so so gorgeous!
1. The Graceful Sari!
Pradipta Sarkar, Associate Editor When it comes to Indian wear, a sari is the epitome of timeless grace and beauty. Our Associate Editor wears her gorgeous sari to work, and does justice to it in every way. She carries it with off with ease and her lovely crimson blouse makes her look just classic without being too loud. Take notes from Pradipta the next time you decide to wear a sari to office.
2. The Patiala Swag!
Dakshee Haryani, Social Media Coordinator Dakshee looks vibrant in this short, multicolored kurti that she has paired well with the orange patiala and those jutis. To add a bit of zing, she’s wearing tiny jhumkis which blend well with the outfit. She manages to look bright but still keep the overall look subtle! Too good, we say!
