Here’s a fact that will cheer you up: 2020 has a total of 11 long weekend! Can we get a woohoo? And with Republic Day approaching, a first of those long weekends are just a few days away. While most of you are already hyped for their short vacays, there are others who have their office Republic Day celebrations to look forward to. And if you are one among them, we have a way to turn this situation around. This year grace your Instagram feed with a fabulous tricolour aesthetic post, we have a few outfit ideas right here!
Tricolour outfits can be tricky to pull off, they run the risk of being too OTT for a formal affair. But, the traditional saree has a lot of leeway with the kind of colour combinations you wish to combine. It is not difficult to find a smart saree with the all-in-one saffron white and green combinations, you just have to look harder. If you cannot find all three, supplement the lack of a third colour with a blouse.
Shop the above look: Handloom Pure Silk Cotton Mangalgiri Saree (Rs 7,999), Hand Embroidered Cotton Front-Open Blouse (Rs 1,440)
If pulling off a saree all day at work is not your cup of tea, opt for a more contemporary option like a skirt. Go for a solid A-line skirt under a smart ethnic jacket and top it all off with a chic stole. Keep the look minimal with sombre formal shoes to balance out the colours in the ensemble.
