The festive season of 2025 promises to be nothing short of a grand runway for tradition, where heritage artistry meets modern-day glamour. From reinvented classics to daring new styles, we unveil the Top 7 Ethnic Trends set to dominate wardrobes and steal the spotlight at every gathering with Vishal Pacheriwal, Director of Parnika India.
Less is more, simple cuts, bold colours, and minimal detailing are entering ethnic wardrobes. Basic straight-cut kurtas with less embroidery, plain sarees paired with stylish blouses, and pale pastel salwar suits are ideal for a hassle-free festival look.
Co-ord sets are not merely lounge wear anymore, they're stepping into the ethnic territory as well. Matching kurta and palazzo sets, printed crop top and skirt ensembles, and light lehenga sets with mirror work are becoming increasingly popular for their comfort and fashion elements.
Organza, chiffon, and net have been heavily trending this season. Whether it's a lace-edged sheer dupatta or an overlay kurta jacket with flowing layers, light layering is being utilised to provide volume without weight, perfect for humidity and long festivities.

Traditional crafts such as Chikankari, handwork, Bandhani, and Gota Patti are having a stylish resurgence, this time merged with modern silhouettes. A peplum top in Chikankari, a halter blouse saree with Bandhani print, or a gota-embellished cape over a jumpsuit all achieve the right blend of heritage and fashion.
"Although pastels still hold charm, much brighter shades will rule Festive Season 2025. Expect to see a lot of electric blue, rani pink, mustard yellow, and bottle green, often contrasted with neutral accessories for balance," said Vishal.
Anarkalis are the perfect blend of indian ethnic wear as of 2025, they look perfect for every body shape and type. Rajasthani pattern anarkali and choli gowns are popular this season with dark, bold red, blue, or green.
“Indian women never go wrong with a saree, and saree is all about every girl's favourite pick from their wardrobe. Saree is so comfortable yet looks so beautiful on women,” shared Vishal.
