Although July 22 is celebrated as Mango Day, the King of Fruits does not really need a specific day to be on the minds of people. One of the much-loved summer fruits has also found its way into fashion. With several home-grown brands from the country using the Mango motif as part of their quirky collections, Indulge takes a look at the best of Mango-inspired fashion in contemporary styles.
Ruffles from Suta
Suta’s Mango Sorbet is the exact colour of the fruit and combined with the ruffle layered edges it makes for a great choice for casual wear or day wear. Those who prefer to wear soft fabrics can definitely opt for this mul cotton, which Suta is so very famous for. Also, being absolutely plain with laced ruffles, the sari can be paired with a number of contrasting blouses to accentuate the look. You can shop the sari from the website or definitely pay a visit to the Suta store in the city.
Block Prints from Dora by Phoenix
Blending the age-old technique of block printing on handloom Begumpuri sari is this quirky yet traditional Mango Mania sari from Dora by Phoenix. Made of pure cotton, it slays the daytime look. The half mango block prints and half plain white makes it look sophisticated and classy. The sari comes with a blouse piece but can well be paired up with a contrast or mango-yellow coloured blouse of your choice.
