70th Republic Day marks freedom and liberty since the Constitution of India came into being. Streets are decorated with tricolour curtains, balloons and fireworks while in the Rajpath we see some of the most astounding feats of artistic display. This national day is also a particular day to amp up our wardrobe and traditional wears with shades from our flag are the perfect pick.
So if you are planning to attend a pre-Republic day party at office or have already booked tickets for the R-day parade, taking your kids put on a picnic or a trip to the zee, here are some elegant, ethnic and fusion wear looks that you can don at work this Republic Day
1. Salute to the tri-colour in saree

There’s no outfit more regal and better suited for the Republic day than the saree. If the national flag themem saree appears to be too main stream to you, you can style a crisp white sari, preferably a Bengali ‘Dhakai jamdani’ with a designer orange or green blouse. Assemble is with gorgeous golden danglers and a bindi to top it up.
2. All white Kurta with color pop

If you have been diching your Lucknowi chikankari white kurta for long its time to straighten its creases. Team it up with a green churidar and throw in an orange dupatta. Sport boho silver jewellery to rock your look.
3. Boho For the Go
Wear a jumpsuit with vibrant ethnic prints or embroidery. You’ll get showered with compliments for this bohemian yet oh-so-Indian fashion trend. To make the look more apt for the occasion, stick to shades of coral, orange or green.
4. Ethnic With a Quirky Twist
If going completely ethnic is nothing like you, here’s your pick for the day. Your best bet to be your ‘extra’ self for the office event will be to go for a feminine kurta with flared palazzos and top it off with a heavy dupatta. Our pick of the bell-sleeved saffron tunic paired with a green tussar dupatta will bring out all kinds of festive vibes!
Republic day holidays are often spent tucked inside a blanket, watching the parade on TV and a movie to follow it. If you are one of those who love getting to the streets exploring the patriotic sentiments, fashion should be high on your agenda.
