Whether it's a casual day out or a wedding that you have to attend, this particular outfit can fit any day, whatsoever. The only trick is that you need to keep experimenting with different styles, accessories and colours to not let the salwar kameez look mundane. Hence, we're here to help you give out some guidance that can come to your rescue.

Choose the trendy cuts

Gone are the times when salwar kameez had just a straight cut. Now, there are various cuts available that you can experiment with. Some of the latest salwar kameez cuts are one side slit, dhoti cut, a trail on the back or the side, front slits, asymmetrical hemline, etc.

Use a jacket

Ethnic jackets have been quite in trend for a couple of years now and you can very much pair on with your salwar kameez. An ethnic jacket has the ability to amp up your whole look. Be it sleeveless or with sleeves, a trendy jacket will definitely add newness to your otherwise basic salwar kameez. There is a variety of options to choose from and you can even get it tailor-made according to your preferences.

Try different bottom styles

Not just the kameez cuts, but now you can also pair them with different styles of salwar. Right from straight-fit bottoms to A-line palazzos, and from dhoti pants to jeggings, there's a whole range of types to choose from. The two bottom styles that have been quite popular lately are cigarette pants and the very trusty, leggings.

Carry a potli bag

If you don't want to play around much with your outfit, you can always use accessories to add a little bling to it. Potli bags got too famous lately after Bollywood beauties started flaunting them on various occasions. They are tiny, blingy and just right to add a little something to your simple looking salwar kameez.

Bring on the makeup

Everything in your outfit can be right yet you might look dull sometimes. That's when you should realise that it's your makeup that needs some work. Kohled eyes or smokey eyes can pretty much brighten up any look whatsoever. If you wish to go for a bold makeup look, choose red lips and a metallic eyeshadow shade on your eyes.
