The Bohemian fashion trend has taken a serious turn with the Lungi. Bohemian at heart, I couldn't help myself but try the lungi skirt and give my boho chic vibe an unusual twist. Along with comfort the maxi makes you feel like you are wearing your very own Indian culture. However, I had to give it a modern twist to wear it to work. So I paired it with a tank top, scarf and flats and completed with a huge tote and tortoise shell sunglasses.
Ways to work the lungi into your wardrobe and everyday look
- Stock on two lungi skirts- one in cotton and another in silk. They should be two different colours- one in neutral shade and another in bright colour
- Wear it casually on Friday to work with a tucked in formal shirt and jacket
- Wear it as a tube dress and cinch your waist with a belt(wear a jacket or shrug over it if you are not comfortable with wearing a tube). Wearing a lungi as a tube dress can be a great option for maternity fashion(minus the belt)
- You can also wear knee or above knee-length kurtas, baby doll kurtas, tops and tunics for a casual boho chic vibe
- Scraves and stoles can look great with the lungi
- Avoid heels as much while wearing the lungi
