Tata CLiQ Fashion
If you’ve reached for the same white kurta-pyjama three years running, your Independence Day outfit might be due for a bit of reinvention.
At TATA CLiQ FASHION, we’re rethinking what occasionwear looks like. It’s time to break free from the expected and lean into something fresher, something that blends modern silhouettes with heritage-inspired details. Whether you’re heading out to hoist the flag or making your way to a festive brunch, your outfit should make a statement that’s as vibrant as the day itself.
If you’re drawn to traditional aesthetics with a contemporary twist, this curated lookbook is your go-to. Our edit of men’s ethnicwear goes beyond tradition; it’s designed to stand out.
Let your Independence Day style reflect the spirit of independence itself: bold, expressive, and unmistakably you.
1. The Showstopper: Drape Kurtas That Demand Eye-Catching Attention
Look Pick: VASTRAMAY Black Kurta & Patiala with Dupatta
The drape kurta, or in this case, a simple kurta with a dupatta, is no longer just a silhouette; it’s a statement. It adds class and a runway edge to your look. Play with fine lines and layering to add more drama.
Style Tip: Wear your kurta with tapered trousers and statement footwear, such as needlework slip-ons or leather sandals. Elevate the look with a stole or brooch for more dimension.
2. The Modern Maharaja: Printed Nehru Jackets
Look Pick: Manthan Regular Fit Nehru Jacket
New-age Nehru jackets have a stunning profusion of prints, textures, and fabrics. Think novelty floral prints, digital graphics, abstract patterns tailored to perfection. This style is a heritage-influenced yet contemporary one.
Style Tip: Layer your jacket over a solid monochromatic kurta or even a crisp white tee. Add ankle-length trousers and a leather-strapped watch.
3. Embroidered Kurtas That Do Not Play Safe
Look Pick: Manyavar Regular Fit Embroidered Kurta
Embroidered pattern defines your Indian ensemble while, at the same time, making an everlasting mark on everything masculine. If you like to mix and match luxurious fabrics with cultural elements, embroidered kurtas are fantastic for your closet.
Style Guide: Team with tonal pyjamas. For a slightly edgy look, add chunky bracelets or rings. Complete the look with Kolhapuris.
4. Laidback Luxe: Co-ord Sets with a Heritage Twist
Look Pick: True Browns Men’s Mandarin Kurta Co-ord Set
A co-ord set is super comfortable to wear. Two pieces filled with symmetry and comfort come together in a modern form. This is the ideal attire for a relaxed Independence Day soaked in culture.
Style Tip: Enhance with contemporary accessories, think tinted sunnies, suede loafers, or a ring for a hint of style.
5. The Layer Game: Ethnic Shrugs and Open Jackets
Look Pick: Lafaani Hand-Painted Shrugs
To enhance your attire with complete stillness without looking overboard, choose ethnic shrugs and open jackets. Patterns like Ikat, Ajrak, or Dabu contribute to texture and heritage, while a relaxed silhouette keeps everything modern and functional.
Style Tip: Ikat printed ethnic shrug layered over modern kurta set with juttis
Layer up a monotone kurta ensemble. Add a printed jacket to your solid black kurta or even a cool high-neck plain T-shirt. Club it with wide-legged dhoti pants. Style with statement handcrafted juttis or Kolhapuri chappals.
Accessories That Go Beyond Complementing
- A saffron safa or headscarf for that bold tricolour nod
- Hand-stitched pocket squares in earthy tones
- Brooches in traditional motifs (peacocks, paisley)
- Luxury watches to pair with woven fabric
Stitches That Redefine Patriotism
Independence Day is more than just a national holiday; it’s a moment to reflect on the freedoms we often take for granted. Chief among them? The freedom to express ourselves.
In today’s fashion landscape, that expression moves far beyond flag pins and the well-worn white kurta-pyjama. It’s about embracing individuality, honouring our cultural roots, and dressing with intention. Style becomes a subtle act of celebration—one that doesn’t conform, but reflects who you are, unapologetically.
So this year, let your Independence Day look speak volumes. Not just of patriotism, but of personality, pride, and the power of choice.
This Independence Day, skip the tokenistic nods to tradition and opt instead for ethnicwear that’s brave, bold, and unapologetically you. Think printed Nehru jackets with unexpected flair, asymmetrical kurtas that play with drapes and silhouettes, or a sharply tailored co-ord set that redefines semi-formal wear. At TATA CLiQ FASHION, ethnic wear is beyond a style statement. They are cultural statements that add to your personality.
Personalise your patriotic representation with unique picks from TATA CLiQ FASHION.
