I am an Indian at heart who calls London her home, and festive season is definitely when I miss my friends, family and
country more than any other time in the year.
During the festival of LIGHTS, I love the buzz of shopping and meeting my friends. The auspicious occasions call for celebrations in Indian ethnic outfits.
This post is dedicated to all the expats from India, who miss India just as much and would like to be a part of the rich culture and heritage even when they are not in India. Interestingly, I revisited the site www.indianhanger.com, which I had used a couple of years ago to reconnect with my roots back home in India.
I have been a regular customer to this online portal and I have noticed how they have paid close attention to the finer details. They have been able to represent India’s ethnic and traditionally rich culture in their unique designer collections available across the globe. What I love about them the most is their ‘Custom Fit’ ideology. Will it fit me? That is always my biggest challenge (and I am sure that it is the first question that comes to any Indian woman’s mind who wants to wear Indian ethnic wear too!) with Indian clothes. The comfort of knowing that the product you have ordered is as per your exact measurements saves you the nightmare of wondering if it will fit you when it arrives, or if you may have to return it. Fact: More than 60% of the outfits are returned due to their FIT issues across the e-commerce industry. Personally for me, this is the BIG WINNER when you choose Indian Hanger as your option for Indian Wear.
Their collections have moved from clothing lines to human characterisation. They aim to curate unique yet relatable collections that appeal to every kind of woman. They are introducing a range of products for the Tradition Lovers, The Wedding Crazy Bridesmaids, The Avid Traveller, The Enthusiastic Entrepreneur & The Culture Lover in you, to name a few.
My pick was a light outfit leaning towards an Indo- Western look from Indian Hanger, keeping in mind that affordability plays a key role. Being able to buy customised designer pieces at great prices allows you to choose several outfits, which is why I love them so much. Their low and flat international shipping cost makes them an even more obvious choice for me. The comfort of receiving a made to measure product at your doorstep is unparalleled!
The outfit I have selected is by the Designer Aartiza & Divya Kanakia. A navy blue Anarkali style gown with 40 beautiful kalis! It has a chic sheer effect, which makes it easy to wear for almost any wedding related function. I decided to accessorise the outfit with a pair of statement uncut stone earrings, a traditional crystal stone bracelet and a clutch.
Indian Hanger has many more designers collections featured on their website, featuring a selection of both Indian and contemporary outfits. To complete your ethnic look, they also have a variety of statement jewellery pieces and accessories. It definitely saves you the hassle of having to worry about quality or having to look elsewhere for matching accessories.

Some statement accessories that you should add to your collection to add that oomph to your outfits are: Maangtikkas (pair them with lighter earrings or a neckpiece), Statement Earrings, Paayals (anklets), Statement Clutches, Ethnic Bangles or Cocktail Rings.
As for the outfits and styles that are going to be a really big hit this season, look out for: Embellished Capes, Dhoti Pants, Velvet fabric outfits and Long Sleeve Blouses. One of the biggest trends that is making a comeback is mixing and matching multiple outfits to recreate new looks from your existing wardrobe!
