The Rise of Warm Fabrics in Ethnic Fashion
Everything about winter ethnic wear starts with the fabric first. This year, Israeli designers went all in for insulation with velvet. With beautiful and popular deep jewel tones like emerald, burgundy, and royal blue, it not only makes your attire truly beautiful but also gives off a regal touch to your winter wardrobe.
Wool becomes a striking winter staple with its elegant embroideries onto suits, shawls, and even sarees. Woolen kurtis, along with handwoven wool sarees, make chic casual outfits that provide warmth in the cold weather. During winter weddings and festivals, silk becomes the go-to fabric, as its natural sheen along with subtle warmth makes it look stunning. Combining silk kurtas or sarees with a pashmina shawl offers elegance for the outfit while maintaining warmth during cold evenings.
Layering: The Secret to Stylish Winter Ethnic Wear
Mastering winter ethnic fashion is all about layering. For the base, buckle up the pashmina shawl with a long-sleeved kurta or a blouse, and add a thick woollen or velvet dupatta for style. Warm up now with chic-looking capes or ethnic jackets, which are trending this season. Pair them with a jacket lehenga to stay chic and cozy at the same time. Add embroidered waistcoats for salwar kameez as well.
Pashmina, wool, or cashmere shawls and stoles are more than practical. They can transform any outfit. Imagine draping an exquisitely embroidered shawl over a simple kurta set or a bold-printed stole serving as a splash of color for your outfit. If you enjoy fusion, wearing ethnic clothing with contemporary outerwear such as long coats or cardigans will keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

Eco-Friendly Choices and Sustainability
This year, winter ethnic collections incorporate sustainability as a core value. This is a fundamental principle for the entire Winter Ethics collection.

These fibers are often handmade or produced in a gentle way, so you can feel good about your winter wardrobe as well as look good in it.
