Making desi aesthetics, pt. 2

Okay so, the first part is here. Also, for all discussions regarding this topic, let's use #making desi aesthetics !

The first aesthetic of this part, and 5th overall is a mix of bollywood (I personally feel that it gives 50s bollywood vibes, ngl.) and Lucknowi fashion. It has a very vintage feel, and the main fabrics include chiffon, georgette, organza etc. The main print is chikankari.

This is pretty minimalistic, and focuses on floral prints, white, pastels, grey and peach. It includes dainty jewelry, especially stuff like pearls. For modern wear, stuff like tank tops, linen pants or just loose cotton dresses will suit.

The second aesthetic is a mix of Bengali and Odia aesthetics, overall. Like for fabrics, I feel ki cotton would suit very well, with some block motifs, perhaps? And some traditional handlooms in both cotton and silk would be nice. Modern wear mein you can have a fusion wear thingy, kurtis with tailored pants or skirts, and then chunky boots?

Oxidized or white jewelry will really suit the overall aesthetic. In makeup, kohli with brown lip shades, especially highlighting the eyes will be v v good. Colors are mustard yellow, deep red, white, magenta, indigo.

Third we have this aesthetic inspired from classical dance, mostly from Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Odissi, it gives a very old temple statue wali vibe in general. Colors include gold, deep blue, emerald, orange and maroons. Waistbands, maang tikaas, and gold jewellry are an important part of this aesthetic.

I think in modern wear, peplum tops, or structured blouses will suit very much, along with jumpsuits and maxi skirts. Again, gold jewelry is here as well. Eye and lip makeup are very prominent.

The last one is a south indian-inspired aesthetic. Fabrics is ofc Kanjeevaram , why not. I also think Banarasi will suit this aesthetic too, despite not being from this region. Colors are gold, white, emerald, red and yellow.

As for jewelry, the focus should mainly be on chokers, jhumkas and I think septum rings can be a nice inclusion too. Heels, blazers, maxis will really suit this look. I think Midi dresses will look good as well. Chokers can be incorporated in the modern look as well, I think.

As for names, well-

Rajasthani one= Madhumalti

Mughal inspired= Gulab

Vrindavan inspired= Vrindavan

Earthy aesthetic= Champa

Bollywood one= Malmal

Bengali/Odia one= Kaanan

Classical dance inspired= Rajasi

South indian one= Swarna

These are the name ideas that I got, if you all have any ideas for any other aesthetics, then send it to my inbox!!!

Homoerotic friendships are my favourite part of girlhood- even though there aren't any romantic feelings involved, I'm convinced I'll never share the same kind of love and intimacy I have with my best friend with anyone else- it's like our souls fucked or something

hii!! I saw your post about desi aesthetics and I completely agree that the current desi aesthetic is very basic and doesn't capture the main idea of India - its vivacity and diversity.

uhmm, so I am Punjabi and I was wondering if we can create a Punjabi aesthetic as well. like if you want, I have some ideas that I would love to share for a Punjabi aesthetic.

Hi!!!

Of course, we can create as many aesthetics as we want! I just created some for the ideas that I got, perhaps we can do a Punjabi-Pahadi mix? Like with Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, perhaps Uttarakhand too? That would be really nice!

oh sita, hey rama ~ sita ramam. an indian girl's dream. lost love letters written under candlelight. mirrors reflecting the beauty of us. library full of books you can't touch. perfect on the surface. rebellion and romance.

― let's ask together with time, can you write what will happen tomorrow?

"so how's life?" "oh its good"

-ve aura, zero rizz, oily hair, gallons of coffee, ibs, tons of lip gloss, thick glasses, loads of unfinished assignments, gareebi, prolonged headaches, entire khandan's expectations and all that
