Styling a Paithani Jacket for the Festive Season
While the jacket itself makes a strong statement, styling it thoughtfully enhances the overall look. Here are some practical suggestions:
With Traditional Indian Wear
Pair the jacket with a neutral-toned kurta and white or beige churidar. For younger children, a soft cotton dhoti can offer both comfort and authenticity.
For a Contemporary Look
Try pairing the jacket with straight pants or linen trousers in earthy tones. This fusion approach works well for slightly more casual or modern festive events.
Accessories and Finishing Touches
- Choose tan or gold-tone juttis to complete the look
 - Add a cotton stole or a traditional brooch for older boys
 - Ensure the kurta underneath is minimally embroidered to let the jacket shine
