The festive fashion trends come and go very quickly, and there is no way that your Dussehra style guide would be anything similar to something that you would have created five years back. We at Agapi Clothing pay close attention to this, and in today’s scenario, all the trends revolve around the aspect of texture, surprising color depths, and the kind of silhouettes that are more editorial than traditional ones. In case you have been relying on that classic red saree every single time, then you definitely need to take a look at this Dussehra style guide.

This is not a manual but rather a trend report, a quick Dussehra style guide if you will.

Why This Year's Dussehra Style Guide Looks Different

It used to be fairly easy to predict what the festive fashion would be like: there was the traditional red, the flashy gold, and not much opportunity to try out new things. Things have since evolved. The festive style guide for this year’s Dussehra makes a move towards richer colors, textured fabrics, and silhouettes inspired by traditional wardrobe staples that had slowly been put aside. It doesn’t stray from tradition; it just updates it.

Trend 1: Jewel Tones Are Replacing Classic Red

The most striking change in the new style guide of Dussehra is in terms of colors. Red continues to be beautiful; however, jewel shades such as plum, emerald, and sapphire colors are seen frequently, particularly during night time events. These darker hues look stunning with warm lighting and yet make one feel festive without making him/her feel conventional. This year's Maharani Deep Plum Saree is a fine illustration of the same as the regal and deep plum hue makes it very easy to stand out in any style guide of Dussehra.

Trend 2: Sheer Blouses and Statement Nets

Fabric texture is in vogue now, and one such fabric that has gained prominence in festive wear this season is net-based fabric with sheer detailing. Wearing a sheer blouse with an ornately decorated lehenga can create a modern but editorial feel without taking away the festival vibes. The Sora Chocolate Brown Net Lehenga Set with Subtle Shimmer Sheer Blouse is one such dress design that perfectly showcases the trend. With its chocolate brown base, the dress looks striking and unique, and its sheer and subtly shimmered blouse adds a perfect finishing touch.

Trend 3: Heritage Silhouettes Are Making a Comeback

Apart from the recent trends in fabrics, there is also a revival of some old fashioned silhouettes. For instance, the farshi salwar with its sweeping tail and long skirt-like appearance has made a quiet comeback in festive wardrobes despite its years of being dominated by other simple designs. It looks extremely photogenic and elegant; there is no doubt that it stands out from all the trendy designs in fast fashion. The Jashn Farshi Salwar Suit is an ideal choice for people who prefer something traditional on Dussehra.

Trend 4: Minimal Jewelry, Maximum Outfit

The more intricate the outfit, the more streamlined the jewelry looks. Rather than piling on numerous eye-catching pieces of jewelry, the trend is to wear a striking single piece of jewelry – either an ear ornament called jhumkas, a striking ring, or a layered necklace. And this move makes perfect sense: a detailed saree or lehenga, which is featured in this year’s Dussehra fashion trend guide, doesn’t need any extra decoration.

Trend 5: Mixing Old and New Within One Outfit

Contrast might well be the key theme of this season’s Dussehra Style Guide – an old-fashioned silhouette in a new age fabric, a timeless hue with an innovative finish, or an age-old draping with a contemporary blouse. Instead of going for either the traditional or modern look alone, this season’s most exciting fashion trends lie somewhere in between. A trend which is open to exploration, so try combinations which would have been impossible a few years back!

Trend 6: Fabrics That Do Double Duty

Another trend that should be considered in this Dussehra style guide is the versatility of fabrics. Women are buying dresses that can be easily worn not only during the festive period but also after that. For instance, a dark-colored saree or an embroidered lehenga can easily become a part of a wedding party or even Diwali dinner in a few months if one changes blouse or jewelry. Buying a piece of clothing that will look good at several occasions can be regarded as one of the most intelligent trends of this Dussehra style guide since it is like buying a piece of wardrobe for yourself.

A Quick Cheat Sheet From This Year's Dussehra Style Guide

Among the several things that you will need to take note of from this style guide on Dussehra outfits, the key ones that you should not forget are: use a jewel tone rather than the conventional red shade for an updated look; embrace fabrics such as sheer and net for evening looks; think about opting for a heritage silhouette such as a farshi salwar for a dramatic look; and use minimal jewelry for a standout outfit. These four trends capture almost all the emerging trends this season.

Styling Notes for Putting These Trends Into Practice

Putting together a trend-driven look with something more classic always seems like the easiest way to go about things. In case you find yourself wearing a sheer blouse, instead of trying something else that could be considered daring, opt for classic jewelry inspired by temples instead.

When it comes to heritage designs like farshi salwar, ensure that your makeup and hairstyle are not too complicated so that the entire dress becomes the center of attention.

Moreover, in case you are fond of wearing a deep jewel color such as plum, gold jewelry would be perfect while silver would give it a contemporary vibe.
