Styling up Dhoti Pants this festive season

The festive season is upon us and in case you are looking for some inspiration on what to wear this season, relax we have got you covered. If you are one of them who follows what’s trending the most, you must have notices how women dhoti pants have gained much more leverage. Dhoti pants which are a version of Patiala pants have been in fashion for a long. It not only is ideal for Indian body types with proper weightage given to the hips and breasts but is also comfortable to carry around.


If we see celebrities in movies, even Bollywood icons have been wearing comfortable dhoti pants to flex around during dance numbers. The easy flowing nature of dhoti pants provides enough comfort to do the heavy lifting and move around. That’s the reason we see most of the ladies in rural India, adapting such style and it has served as an inspiration for the ladies who play a major role with a lot of responsibilities during festival season.

These days we are seeing many up-gradation of the dhoti pants with narrow bottom or flared plits in them and some in a parallel pattern. The ultimate goal is to have comfortable clothing and giving a chic look to the overall dress code.

Even the kurta style to go with the Dhoti pants have seen a lot of adaptations. We see many even wearing crop tops with dhoti pants and upgrading to a modern hip style. There has been a huge shift in dhoti style traditional outfits as well. With young Genz customising it as per their style and needs. We see many young Bollywood celebrities wearing different patterns of dhoti pants which are kaftan kurta, angrakha short tops and some with trendy t-shirts as well. We at Prints and Weaves love how new fashion comes up with some unique transformation and up-gradation to the existing style. One thing which is common in most of the fashion styles coming up these days is comfort.

Recently we have seen Sonam Kapoor wearing the traditional style dhoti with bandh gala kurta for men’s collection of a renowned designer. The look has portrayed how gender roles have been redefined and how dresses that were earlier specific to men have now become a hit among the millennials and Genz. While we search for women’s dhoti pants online, we see so many versions of these old school Patiala style bottoms and we keep on experimenting with what’s popular and likeable by the ladies these days. Do keep tagging us in your new forms of styling with Dhoti Pants for ladies and we would love to introduce something similar in our upcoming collections.

How can I style kaftan Kurti?

While kaftans have become the nationwide summer uniform because of their easy and free-flowing nature. With the liking of kaftans among the youth, influencers on the gram and celebrities have come up with a different type of styling. In this blog, we will be sharing a few tips which we have seen our patrons share on their feed and we have tried in-house to give the free-flowing kaftan an uptight and chic look. 

  1. Pair up a long kaftan kurta with a belt.

Although usual kaftans come with a tassel around the waist to tie around and adjust the fitting these days one will find new patterns of kaftans which are of shirt style or are asymmetrical. A broad belt on these shirt styles or free-flowing kaftan adds to the oomph factor of the overall look of the dress. Going with the pattern, belts also come in various patterns. Some are made of leather and some of the fabric with beadwork. If you are planning to go boho style, going with beaded belts will get you a perfect look. 

  1. Pair up design kaftan Kurtis with Palazzo.

If you are up-to-date with the fashion trends and news, you must have seen one of the popular global brands, Gucci pairing up Indian Handmade Kaftan with palazzo pattern trouser in green. Well, we can see many Indian celebrities even the ones who don Prints and Weaves kaftans, pairing it up with palazzos and slaying the fashion goals one can look for. Even long kaftans paired with kaftans are a popular hit among the celebrities who portray middle-aged segments in Bollywood like Neena Gupta. 

  1. Accessorise long kaftans

Long kaftans usually purchased online have multiple layers and patterns. The best part about kaftan is its ability to switch from being casual to party wear. You just need to know how to style it perfectly and it becomes a perfect glamorous design. Accessories are one thing that can turn anything into uptight cool statement wear. Pair up your long kaftan dress with danglers or an upbeat neckpiece having a bohemian pattern and it is good to go attire for a party. You can add up heels and carry a clutch to complete the overall look. Kaftans usually go with beaded neckpieces or rustic jewellery since the overall look is casual.


All these are our preferences to style up a long kaftan dress from Prints and Weaves. We would love to see your styling tips and ideas. Do tag us on the gram while donning our kaftans.
