A Curation of Prints: Finding Your Visual Language

Paisley, age-old kalamkari, charming bandhani suits or blooming motifs, the cotton printed suit, or the printed velvet suits at KALKI Fashion are a cultural expression.

The Floral Bloom (Jaipuri & Sanganeri)

Rajasthani block prints, Sanganeri prints on cotton fabrics, and Jaipuri vibes with leheriya suits or bandhani offer unmatched beauty to Indian salwar suits. These prints are not just about timeless aesthetics but also about feminine beauty and elegance.

The Heritage Hand-Blocks (Ajrakh & Bagru)

Are you someone who wants their salwar kameez to reflect aesthetics that are rooted back to more than 3000 years ago? Go for traditional motifs- ajrakh and bagru, and blend them with modern and contemporary vibes. The prints and the colours, such as deep red and indigo, reflect nature. The motifs are celebrated for their cultural aspect, beauty, and earthy vibes. Overall, the printed Anarkali suit, Pakistani suits printed choices, and modern printed suits are artisanal luxury.

The Modern Digital Print

Modern digital prints are about transition, contemporary vibes, and a shift from traditional designs to a bold and sleek look. Sleek patterns, thin stripes, scattered florals, and minimal prints are like a revival of ancient craft. Blended with other fabrics than cotton, such as lightweight chiffon, silk, etc., the prints reflect a high-fashion appearance for office wear, casual brunch, and social gatherings.

The Abstract & Ikat Influence

It is said that there is a story behind every traditional and ancient craft. One of such artisanal prints is ikat, which is popular in states like Odisha and Telangana. They highlight an ancient weaving technique that can be related to slow fashion and an ethical feel. The ikat print and abstract prints are popular for corporate wear and casual gatherings. The fusion of modernity and tradition helps women achieve the best of both worlds.

Fabric & Texture: The Canvas of Choice

Fabric is always the canvas for any design, colour, or print on the suit. The fabric of the salwar kameez can make the prints come to life and look like a success.

Pure Cotton & Linen

Pure cotton and linen are breathable and soft but have a crisp texture that helps hold the artisan dyes quite well. The cotton suits and linen fabrics are top choices for bandhani, hand-block prints, ajrakh, Sanganeri prints, and other Rajasthani complex motifs. The cotton-linen and prints combination works great for Indian salwar kameez.

Silk & Chanderi

Feather-light feel and utter softness of silk suits combined with traditional prints is pure magic. The combination is ideal for weddings, receptions, festivals, and semi-formal events. So, it is with the chanderi fabric that looks traditionally elegant and rich with the prints. A white suits style or a black suits edition in chanderi or silk is ideal for sangeet, family events, and social gatherings as well.

Crepe & Georgette

The bouncy and fluid fabrics with the quality and appeal of paisleys, kalamkari, bandhani, and ikat look dynamic and a new narrative for traditional as well as fusion appearance in salwar kameez. Bold, abstract, and digital prints in crepe suits and georgette suits also look high-end and glam for weddings and extravagant ceremonies.

The Silhouette Guide: Styling Your Printed Look

Work / Professional

Working women want to reflect a sophisticated and polished look for a corporate set-up. They can go for geometrical stripes, micro floral motifs, ajrakh, and block prints in cotton suits and other prints that are spaced out.

Weekend Brunch

When it’s a weekend, the look, feel, appeal, and vibes are all cute, sweet, feminine, and fresh, and floral prints can definitely help achieve that. A floral print suits option, a printed Anarkali suits style, and bandhani printed peplum suits can look breezy and comfy for a daytime brunch.

Travel / Vacation

You would want to keep it comfortable and casual as you are travelling. Go for short kurtis, palazzo suits configurations, or co-ord sets that feature lightweight fabric, geometrical prints such as stripes and checks. Florals and tie-dye can also align well with holiday vibes while you are travelling.

Evening Dinner

You can opt for ethnic salwar kameez in monotone bestseller suits hues and pair it with a contrast and richly-hued dupatta with fine or bold prints. A touch of sequins, or bright laces, can resonate with the evening glow and vibes.

Styling & Accessorizing Your Printed Suit

The Jewellery Strategy

Oxidized silver jewellery, chandeliers, terracotta jewels, and floral ornaments are the easy route to achieve boho and ethnic vibes with printed suits. Style your white printed suit look with silver jewellery, beaded malas, rubies, and pearls.

The Footwear Rule

Flats, kolhapuris, platform heels, and wedges can add height, provide stability, and offer comfort with printed suits. Floral printed suits, or salwar kameez featuring block or ikat prints, can be paired with heels and peep-toes.

The Solid Contrast

If you are achieving a bold and maximalist appeal with loud, busy, or dense prints, you can pair the kurti or upper with a monotone palazzo, churidar, or trousers. If the kurta as well as the bottom have dense and dominant prints, contrast it with a solid-hued dupatta. With printed straight cut suits, you can pair straight pants or palazzos with minimal or no prints.
