For every Indian woman who swears that the sari is the favourite outfit in her fashion arsenal, there are two more who can’t wrap their heads around the 6-yard drape. To those women, Shilpa Shetty emerges as a source of inspiration. If you’re looking for that one statement piece that can add an ethnic element to your ensemble, even if you’re wearing a white shirt and tailored pants, Shilpa Shetty’s indi jacket from Ankur and Priyanka Modi’s brand AM:PM is the right kind of investment. Seen at an event in Kolkata, the actor wears the black floral embroidered midi-length jacket with a white kurta and palazzos.
The jacket’s slightly-pronounced shoulders and structured form make it versatile enough for any occasion. Style it with a kurta and sharara, or play up the jacket’s intricate golden embroidery by pairing it with a short A-line dress in muted hues for an evening do. Once you work your way up to feeling comfortable in a sari, style the indi jacket with a red and gold version for a full-blown ethnic look.
Alternatively, you can opt for a casual look by styling the indi jacket with a pair of blue jeans and a crop top for a day event.
Shilpa accessorises her jacket with a choker by Sangeeta Boochra, which adds to the ethnic look. What do you think of her ensemble? Tell us in the comments below.
