INDEPENDENCE DAY SPECIAL

Spirits will run high next Sunday morning as India celebrates its 75th year of Independence. While the day itself means waking up to patriotic Bollywood songs like 'mere desh ki dharti' and 'Vande Matram' playing on loop and then stepping down for the ceremonial raising of the flag, it is also a day of pride and nostalgia. You cannot deny that watching those perfectly synchronized parades on television instils patriotic pride in you. There are plenty of reasons to pick the right outfit, whether you are celebrating with your neighbors or showing up to the office party.

There is an unspoken dress code around national holidays and shades of the tricolor rule the roost. Every year you receive an email for the Independence Day office party with an optional dress code. Office parties may be about tucking-in food and getting some time off, but this Independence Day, show up to your office celebration decked in the colours of the day and revels in the cheer. Don't forget to wear your masks and keep a safe distance in public.

You will find an array of ethnic styles at Gerua. In lieu of the upcoming Independence Day celebrations, we have put together a list of modern ethnic wear for those looking for a relaxed look while giving a nod to the tricolors.
