There is one more Indian garment that I like to wear so very much. It is the Patiala pants. I like the way they look - so cool - and they are the most comfortable thing to have on during hot summer days. Originally the pants were worn by the maharajahs of Patiala (since the name). But of course, women just couldn't miss the opportunity to add this wonderful garment into their own wardrobe. These pants are all about pleats which are stitched in such a way that create a beautiful draping effect. Traditionally they are worn with a short tunic (kurta) that have slits on the both sides, this design allows to see the beauty of the pants. But here I am wearing my red Patiala pants with a Western style blouse which I last wore combined with skinny jeans (here).
The bead necklaces are the symbol of marriage here in Nepal. I have a dozen of them as every year I get a few as a gift from other women during the local Woman's day Teej. Red and green is the favourite combination of colours for Nepalese women.
Will show one more Patiala pants that I have. These are the festive variant. When I saw them in the window I fall in love instantly. They are very voluminous and embellished with embroidery and beads. The photos are from 2010 when I bought this set.

Have a nice day!
Oh I love the detail of your white top. It makes you look lovely and the earrings too.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's fun picture that you look a bit like a pretty genie and the hair. :)
Olga, amongst all the beautiful looks you showed The festive one with the Patalia pants is one I like best. It is absolutely marvellous and you look gorgeous in it!
ReplyDeletePatalia pants are very flattering and feminine - although they are men's trousers.
I often wish I have the chance to buy ethic clothes, the colors are more intensive the patterns extraordinary and the style amazing. I should have a look in the online shop you lately mentioned. I think they would deliver to Europe too.
Have a great week, my dear friend!
You look absolutely stunning in your outfit!!! Everything is beautifully matched and colour coordinated with your white blouse and red Patiala trousers...the earrings, the ring, beads, the headband!!!! I love your other Patiala trousers too....you look beautiful in them too....love your curly hair!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sabine, this is a beautiful outfit on you. You look gorgeous, this combination just feels so right on you. The red and green is such a powerful and lovely contrast. I betting the pants are so comfortable and cool for the summer. i enjoy your blog so much!

I love these pants, something I often wear in India but very rarely at home. The second outfit has almost rendered me speechless it's so gorgeous on you. x
ReplyDeleteOlga these pants are so darling and you wearing it beautifully. The red and white combination looks totally darling on you. Love the jewelry. Awesome. The photos of you from 2010 are so pretty. Your hair is GORGEOUS! and you look stunning.

I love the red and white combo, so summery. Those pants are very original and look very comfortable, I never saw this kind of pants before ... They are so feminine, beautiful! Kisses.
ReplyDeletewow, I've never seen such pants before! Very beautiful, especially the fabric. I wonder if it's hot to wear them in such warm climate... Love your earrings and necklace!
ReplyDeleteOf course, a dress is the best option for hot weather here. But if for a change you feel like wearing trousers then these are the most comfortable variant. I notice that some women/girls here wear skinnies or leggings now, that's what I really can't imagine wearing myself at this heat. I suppose they are more tolerate to the climate then me.
DeleteIf ever a local look went global, then it is this style of pant ... so hot right now, as I'm sure you know! Thought I was in love with the first look, but then the teal and rust set stole my heart completely away. What a beauty you are.
ReplyDeletePatiala pants are so comfy yet so stylish and I really liked the way you layerd the beaded necklace.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Xoxo
Both pairs of patiala pants are so lovely, I think they're called harem pants in the UK or is that different style? The colours are fantastic too, and suit you beautifully. Casual but oh so glamorous.
ReplyDeleteNo, harem pants are of a bit different design. Honestly I like the patiala pants better
Deletehey, such nice spring/summer outfits :-) they instantly bring good mood
ReplyDeleteIn the red/blue - you look like an Indian princess!
ReplyDeleteRed trousers must be so confy!
My first thought was Oh WOW! You looks so gorgeous in the pretty red and white. I like the headband too.
ReplyDeletewooow those pants really really look great on you! both the casual and the festive ones, but i especially adore those festive ones because that whole outfit is so bold and colorful!
ReplyDeletelove and kiss,mary
