It’s no surprise that Indo-Western style is hot on the rise. The blend of east-meets-west design and aesthetic appeals to the modern, worldly-wise consumer. The unique fusion creations always offer a refreshing look, be it a formal occasion or a fun social gathering. And that applies to the entire ensemble, from clothing to jewellery and accessories.
So let’s have a look at some of the popular Indo-Western styles, how you can elevate them and what jewellery trends you should look out for, to pair with your next inspired fusion-wear looks.
Traditional Shararas With A Blazer
For any formal events or parties, simply pick out a sharara and pair it with a blazer. You can have any printed or solid bottom, as per your preference. Wear bold earrings to accessorise, add on a minimalist ring and slip on your favourite heels. This Indo-Western fusion outfit is smart and stylish in equal measure.

Ethnic Sarees With Western Shirts
Make a statement by pairing a traditional saree with a Western blouse — this could be a wrap-around, crop top or even a collared shirt. Quirky? Sure. But it’s also unbelievably stylish and adds that little added bit of comfort when wearing a saree, so you could even wear it to work! A perfect pair of stud earrings are all you need to complete the look, but if you’re looking for something more, try an elegant and understated necklace.

Ruffle Dresses with Palazzo Pants
Got a strappy dress lying around the house, that you are bored of? Well, throw in a set of solid-coloured palazzos and a dupatta, and you’ve got yourself the ideal Indo-Western suit! You could also pair printed bottoms with solid coloured dress. Colour block the way you like! A pair of jhumkas and pulled-back locks will seal the deal beautifully. You can also stack up some bangles and wear a small bindi to highlight the look.

Saree With An Asymmetric Kurti
This contemporary outfit can be tried for any occasion. For college-goers or working women, this style is the best choice to experiment with sarees and kurtis to create your own wonderful look. Style your plain kurti with an embroidered saree or vice-versa. Besides, wearing kurti jackets with a saree is also quite popular these days. Accessorise with a bold necklace and can add a waist belt for a truly stunning look.

Lehengas With A Shirt
A mixture of western casuals and Indian wear gives a contemporary chic and stylish look. Such as pairing an embroidery lehenga and with a plain shirt for your friend’s wedding or a cotton printed lehenga with a plain shirt for a summer get-together. Wear minimal accessories, like stackable rings or bangles, and feel comfortable throughout. For weddings or parties, you can wear a kundan necklace, detailed bracelet and high heels of course!

Flared Tunic with Cropped Pants
This is the perfect Indo-Western casual day or evening look. A flared-hem printed ethnic tunic or kurti put together with a breezy pair of white cotton cropped pants, what an effortlessly gorgeous outfit! Bring out the Kohlapuri slippers for an added cultural touch, and don’t forget to do the same with your jewellery. Pick pieces that showcase traditional motifs, be it earrings or rings.

Denim Fusion Inspiration
It’s time to give those classic wardrobe staples the Indo-Western touch. Take your regular blue or black denims and sew on an ethnic lace along its sides, for a lovely feminine and one-of-a-kind look that promises to be uniquely yours. You could wear slip ons, mules or even platform heels with this outfit. And accessorise with minimalist dangling earrings, bespoke rings or for a more formal do, a stand-out neckpiece.
