Geometry on the tunic, paisley on the dupatta: two prints in one blue set.
- Two different block designs across the set, not one repeated
- Terracotta and mustard warming a blue ground
- A broad solid band at the hem to anchor the pattern
Two prints
The tunic is printed with repeating geometric shapes at a moderate density, while the dupatta goes fuller with florals and paisleys. Terracotta and mustard run through the blue, with white and gold as accents, and a broad solid horizontal band at the hem stops the two patterns from competing.
Styling
Mixing prints deliberately is what saves this set from looking like everything else on a rack, but it needs a plain finish: a straight kurta, no contrast piping, and the hem band left whole. Terracotta or mustard jewellery, or plain gold. Wear it to work with the dupatta folded narrow, and open it out for a festive afternoon.
