High-Low Indian Tunics as Must Have of the Season!

From famous Bollywood celebrities to the street, everyone seems gone crazy for high-low Indian tunics!

The trend of the season is a two-length style, doesn’t matter if is a dress, skirt or top, and Indian designers know this quite well.

Bollywood celebrities fell in love with Payal Singhal ‘s new collection of gorgeous high-low Indian tunics. For example, have a look at Huma Qureshi, that was seen promoting her upcoming movie “Dedh Ishqiya” wearing colourful pants and a printed tunic by Payal Singhal. She matched the look with a trendy neckpiece with black coloured beads.

What about the ever gorgeous Sonakshi Sinha? She looked stunning on “Comedy Nights” sets in a black and white colored style by Payal Singhal.

Colours are one of the most important things during the wedding preparation. It determines the decoration style and the bridal outfits. Fresh and vibrant tones are perfect for the summer, so why not choose purple?

Purple balances tradition, glamour and elegance. It is the perfect colour for a bride and for a guest who does not want to go unnoticed. In my opinion, purple is the colour of this season. So, bridal saree, wedding lehenga, long gown ... don't be shy, choose purple!
