Latest Salwar Kameez Suit Design patterns

1.Jacketed Charm

Jacket Style Long Side Slit Salwar With Straight Pants

 

Let’s talk about royalty for a minute, and while at it—I don’t think it can get better than this. With this opulent deep royal blue design by Anita Dongre (Yes, we agree—she has to be the best) opened up a whole new regal real estate for floor length dresses. She masterfully played with the silver embellishments on the trousers and the lower part of the dress in just the right proportions.

The shade card of her latest “Fall and Winter Collection 2016” essentially included many rich tones of pink, some deep indigo, a handful of mellowed down yellow and mustards, a few beige and ivory, but primarily a cheerful collection drenched in glamor, style and grace.

2. Muted Yellow And Garden Design Palazzo

Long Printed Salwar With Plain Palazzo Pants

If you’re like me—you love every hue and shade of yellow; love summers plus you’ve already fallen in love with this dress. Yet another piece of art from Anita Dongre’s Summer 2016 Collection which like every other dress, had a tale to tell while redefining romance.

Unlike the loud yellow colors we imagine, when we think of summer dresses—this anomalous muted yellow that is both poignant and polished is a hot favorite for obvious reasons. The kurta and dupatta in quaint floral and self-design, oh-so-comfortable dove-white palazzo pant, is something we hate for you to miss.

3. Kutch And Khadi Off-white

Kutch And Khadi Off White Anarkali Salwar

The one thing that is unique and pertinent to Purvi Doshi’s designs is her Indie fusion take on the traditional salwar kameez patterns. She clearly loves working with Kutch, African and Khadi designs that are from best of both the worlds, (Indo-Western) and is the revival Indie fashion niche needs right now. You can’t help but drool over her subtle and warm color palettes, soulful silhouettes and poignant details.

This whey-colored cotton Anarkali with sepia and forest green patchwork adds enough detailing to maintain grace. The fine drawn mirror and thread embroidered yoke pops out the other details. The front slit and flouncy flair adds definition and is totally fitting.

4. Power Blue Palazzo

Powder Blue Palazzo Salwar Dress

The thought before finalizing this catalog was to envelop it with designs that are both prêt-à-porter, yet uniquely redefining simplicity. And, hence we bring you most of them that are eccentric but not OTP. Getting right back to business—we have observed a trend in the fashion and realized that they have been partying a lot with teals, indigos, royal blues and inky colors lately. Payal Singhal generously inched towards subtle pastels, powdered blue and blush colored palette this time around and we can’t help but drool over every single one of them from her.

The best part about this powdered blue palazzo ensemble is—the kurta and the pants can be worn separately and still look just as good. I love how she used rustic gold embroidery for adding definition to the yoke and distinctive buttons. The silk palazzo pants with just enough flare that goes with the hemline of the dress is a class apart.

5.  Floral Thread Work In Chanderi

White Thread Work Salwar With Straight Cut Palazzos

While skimming through the runway designs this year, we realized that it is not easy to cull through the plethora of designs to arrive at a choicest few. Designers are steering towards ready-to-wear, fusion and Indie patterns that are poised, sophisticated without the dearth for making statements. One such collection was by Pratima Pandey who predominantly used soft and muted shades of white, ivory, pastels and sets the summer mood right.

If you swear by designs that are low-key but sophisticated, then this salwar suit design like most of her others will sweep you off your feet. The chanderi long sleeves top that perfectly wraps the underlying Lenin Anarkali, borrowing burst of freshness from the orange and blue thread work seems like a well-oiled machine.

6. Teal Anarkali And Deep Red Banarasi Work

Teal Colored Long Anarkali Salwar Kameez

Neeta Lulla is known for conceiving edgy designs for over two decades now and even since been transforming the way people perceive Indian dresses, not just here but also the Western part of the world. Her flagship stores abroad are a major hit.

Anarkali dresses have been all over the place for quite some time to the extent that we thought we were done with it; except opulent designs like these by couturiers perceive and present them in combinations that we can’t help fall for, all over again. Details like the sheer net sleeves followed up with kundan work; the nude embellished dupatta that creates a majestic silhouette; the deep red brasso and brocade bodice that opens into an ornate teal dress, makes for a great choice for weddings. I cannot wait to style this with huge jhumkas and a bare neck. I think you should do it too.

7. Raw Silk Floral Anarkali

Raw Silk Floral Anarkali Dress

Varun Bahl returned to Lakme India Fashion Week in 2016 after a ten-year hiatus, and we must say that he’s back with a bang. He wears his heart out with his designs and it’s out for everyone to see in his creations. He also has a wonderful message for women who wear his dresses—“for someone who is keen to celebrate her traditions, but does not want to be defined by them.” What a beautiful thing to say and It is sensibilities like these; that bring out the best in people.

His latest collection brings in hints of his western silhouettes and blends them to create contemporary Indian designs. This ivory flared jacketed floral Anarkali dress in raw silk does just that. The floral Anarkali georgette dress craftily sports with the embellished jacket, can only be managed by couturiers like him.

8. Oyster Organza Short Jacket Anarkali

Oyster Organza Short Jacket Anarkali

Neeta Lulla’s collection this year was full of cherry blossom innuendos. The colors, silhouettes, flow and flare of her dresses have been dealt in a refreshing fashion and stays true to her inspiration.

We love how she combines the flimsy organza fabric and designed this ethereal beauty. The short oyster short jacket also in organza with 3/4th sleeves, embroidered in sequin, the crocheted yoke and cherry blossom flared skirt is a lively addition to this catalog.

9. Honey Hued Floral Jacket And Trousers

Jacket Style Floral Salwar With Straight Pants

The Delhi-based designer duo are known for their exquisite and intricate work drenched in sun kissed hues of honey, pastels and affluent embroidery. In 2016, their collection was all about sheer tulle, chiffon, shiny flashes of pearl and metal, but a royal and gracious knock-out.

A honey hued kurta in supple georgette fabric and the center slit with floral embroidery at the hemline and bodice jacket, wavy trousers are simple, stylish and elegant.
