Feeling blue? Try these fashion-forward indigo styles!

Get into indigo and fall for blue! 

From ancient times to today, indigo has been a big part of Indian culture. Coming from places like Akola and Bagru in Rajasthan, this classic dye is still a favourite and is catching on worldwide. Known as “Blue Gold,” it’s now showing up in everything from men’s shirts to women’s shoes. Check out our ideas to see how you can use this timeless dye to spice up your wardrobe and stand out!

Indigo Kurta and Printed Palazzo 

If you’re into ethnic style, try stepping up your game with an Indigo Floor Length Kurta and a Boho Chic Jacket. Or go for a double indigo look with a layered Kurta. An A-line flared kurta in two indigo patterns paired with a printed Palazzo is a standout, stylish combo that’s sure to impress!

Matching Indigo Pants and Dupatta

You’ll look great in printed Indigo pants with a flowing Indigo dupatta, paired with a shirt or short kurta in white, pastel, or classic colors. Throw on a leather jacket for a bold finish. It’s a look that’s both stylish and super comfortable!

Indigo Block Printed Dupatta 

Not feeling the pants? Then keep it simple with just an indigo Hand Block print dupatta. Indigo works beautifully with a variety of outfits, not just ethnic wear. Wow everyone by pairing the Indigo Dupatta with a white mini or spaghetti dress and sneakers. For a more traditional vibe, team it with an anarkali kurta and printed pants for a fashion-forward look.

with a Bright Blouse 

Indigo sarees always look amazing with minimal effort! If you want a fresh take on the classic saree, try a flowy, printed Indigo one. Go for a light and breezy drape in Chanderi silk or cotton, paired with a stylish blouse and maybe a leather jacket on top. Feeling bold? Try draping your Indigo saree over a vibrant orange blouse, add a leather belt, and finish with stilettos and a chunky necklace. You’ll be ready to steal the show!

Indigo Shirt with a Maxi Skirt 

Make your formals pop with an Indigo shirt tucked into crisp white pencil-fit trousers and some chic heels. For a laid-back Boho look, wear your Indigo buttoned-up shirt with three-quarter sleeves tucked into a vibrant, frilled maxi skirt. Pair it with a high ponytail and a boho tote bag. It's a stylish yet practical look for everyday office or college wear!

Indigo Shrugs or Overlays 

If you’re all about that rugged style, throw on an Indigo Shrug over a crop top and pair it with some distressed jeans or denim shorts. You’ll totally own any casual hangout. Or, for a more elegant touch, layer a long indigo shrug over a frilled maxi dress. It’s a super easy way to look stylish!

Indigo Accessories 

If you're not feeling the full-on outfit, just toss on an indigo stole and instantly upgrade your look! It’s perfect for the winter season and adds a touch of style without much effort. You can also rock an indigo scarf or a printed bag to show off your love for blue all year round! 

And don't forget, Indigo isn’t just for women! Men can totally pull off a printed Indigo shirt with grey, white, or sand brown trousers for a cool, semi-formal vibe. Indigo’s versatility makes it perfect for any occasion, so wear it your way and make it your own!
