Channelize your love for ethnic wear with printed suits
If there is something that rules every woman’s heart and wardrobe, it undoubtedly is a printed ethnic suit! But just like how anything carried out excessively suddenly starts to feel mundane, when a printed sartorial is sported daily and/or for special soirees, in no time, it can feel ordinary too.
To never let the charm of printed ethnic garbs die, the key is to mix and match everything, including - prints, accessorizing style, silhouettes & sartorial. Putting the latter points for another day, today let's dive into the diverse prints on a go-to style – ethnic suits!
If distinguishing between prints is nothing short of a nightmare for you, here is a quick guide and a little history for you to revel in printed awesomeness, almost literally!
Sanganeri Print Suits
Finding its name from Sanganer village in Rajasthan, this print is conceived in two forms – hand pressed by artisans & screen printed. Authentically made by the Chippa community, Sanganeri is a meticulous printing technique that looks as royal as the state it hails from. Though no two Sanganeri print suits look the same, the only thing common between them is sheer opulence!
Indigo Print Suits
Only true art lovers understand the value of even a basic indigo cotton kurta! If you ask why, let us tell you that designing an indigo cotton kurta is far more complicated than it looks. It is not your average, blue-colored kurta; it is the result of a painstaking dyeing, stitching, designing & finishing process! Though the color is naturally derived from Indigofera tinctoria, it usually retains washing. Thanks to the beautiful or should we say blue-ti-ful base of indigo print suits, even contrast colored print used on it pops out like a dream.
Bagru Print Suits
Who knew something as humble as a puddle of mud can create mesmerizing patterns and motifs? Meet Bagru print. Getting its name from Bagru – near Jaipur, Bagru print suits are a result of resist dyeing. Meaning a process where minimal water and maximum natural colors are used to create one of its kind designs on fabrics. In the case of Bagru, Harda is the mix that is applied on to the fabric for better permeation of the dyes. Unlike Indigo print suits, Bagru print suits come in countless hues.
Hand Block Printed Suits
There is irreplaceable beauty in all things made with hand. And the epitome of this statement is hand block printed suits! Patterns made using carved wooden blocks that are carefully pressed in a poetic sequence one after the other, watching the making of hand block printed suits is as captivating as sporting one! Just like bagru & indigo print suits, most dyes used for authentic hand block printed suits are natural too.
The ethnic sartorial possibilities are limitless, especially if you are a print lover. As most of the above-stated prints are usually busy, keep accessorizing minimal and let the traditional motifs do the talking! Go on, experiment, and win the world with your printed grace!
