Ugadi is just round the corner and the New Year is symbolic of new hope and a better tomorrow.
Ok folks, just know a little history of Ugadi. The significance of Ugadi stems from the mythological times when Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, began a series of wonderful creations, including that of the earth and all the life forms that live in it. Hence it is considered the beginning of a new year. It is characterised by special pujas and people seek blessings from God for a better tomorrow. The best part of Ugadi is the Ugadi Pachadi, a unique dish containing all six tastes of Ayurveda like bitter, sweet etc. It signifies the different experiences which life has to offer. Don’t forget that life is a cocktail of the good, the bad, the funny and much more, much like the pachhadi. Ok, now let’s move on to the best part, the clothes.
As we move further into 2016, let’s not forget the latest fashion trends of 2016 as we dress for Ugadi. The trends just seem to be getting better and better, as the recently concluded Amazon Fashion week and the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week show us. Let’s rock it, ladies!

Flower Power
There’s no doubt that florals are set to rock this summer! And while owning a floral LSD(li’l summer dress) is a must, try owning a retro styled floral dress and sport it to the Ugadi party thrown by the modern yet traditional neighbour.
Flora and fauna even in lehengas are going to be the upcoming trends of 2016 this summer.
The Cool chick in Crop tops
Ok, while baring the midriff might be a problem for some, if you have no problem go for stunning crop tops with palazzos, lehangas or long embellished skirts.
Rock your Ugadi at home with this graceful outfit! Don’t look at crop top as a short shirt, try different styles like a stylish back, boat cut neck etc. It’s going to be in vogue for quite a while, crop tops with Indian outfits!
Black is back.. it always was
While 2015 wa sthe year of colours like orange, 2016 besides neon colours, screams black! Set your fashion goals with the colour black. A colour that’s never out of our wardrobe, experiment with black in traditional wear this Ugadi. Opt for black kurtis and churidhars. It’s your best bet for an Ugadi evening with family.
Bohemian style
Try the Indian bohemian chic style. Stand out in the crowd of friends with thread jewellery, doris on anarkali and sport flashes of bright colours. One of the important fashion trends of 2016!
For Indian boho chic, you can try kalamkari skirts, printed tunic and palazzos and chunky jewellery. The key is to feel comfortable with yourself in bohemia and soak in on the festivities.
A touch of bohemia, indeed!
Abstract Prints
Experiment with unique designs and necklines. Go for architectural and abstract prints and step into a bolder space. This might not be the traditional Ugadi style people usually sport, but be bold and quirky in your style. Make a statement, this new year on Ugadi.
End of day, wear what you are comfortable in. These tips are just from the latest trends in fashion weeks but remember, rather than fear the fashion police, set your own trends and carry yourself with confidence.
