Bengal is the land of poets who were inspired tremendously by the beauty of nature. In all of her six seasons, Mother Nature endows us with boundless charm and an abundance of beauty only found here. This seasonal splendour not only inspires art and literature but also deeply influences our fashion choices, reflecting the vibrant spirit of spring
The season holds a special place in the hearts of Bangladeshis with its soft breeze, mellow sunshine and myriads of flowers galore. From sweet marigolds that brighten one's days to pink dahlias that are romantic and lovely, to poppies as red as a bride's saree — these magnificent blooms bring absolute joy to our lives with their vibrancy.
By virtue of its calming and relaxed nature, the season is a great time to play dress up. As the weather is temperate and mild, one can get away with fun and bright colours. Happy hues like canary and sunflower yellow, orange, and mango are perfect for those tea parties with your girlfriends. A taant saree in these shades with a contrasting border will look lovely when worn with wrists full of glass bangles.
Handloom weaves are the way to go for ladies with a penchant for organic materials and one is truly spoilt for choice when it comes to our heritage pieces. From taant to tussar, and tantuj — there is something for everyone.
Accessorise with terracotta or brass jewellery but do not forget the all-important flowers. Wear them in your hair as jewellery and however else your heart desires. They deserve to be worn around your neck, your wrists, and on the head as a wondrous floral crown can truly emulate the spirit of spring!
Miranda Priestly, the fictional tyrannical fashion editor, once famously remarked, "Florals for Spring? Ground-breaking!" As obvious as it may be, it is indeed flowers that make spring special.
Is there anything more alluring than a delicate floral chiffon saree? Perfect for those springtime days when all one's heart desires is happy times spent in good company, idling away in mellow afternoon sunshine.
Floral dresses and skirts are just as beautiful and elegant. Let beautiful spring blooms inspire you when accessorising. Pair your lovely chiffon or georgette saree with a lariat necklace with dainty floral motifs. Wear a hairband with demure crystal daisies with your pretty pink skirt with oversized red roses.
