Of course there are endless options in the market and weโ€™ve decided to share with you a peek of what you can pick from. Moreover, if you are not too keen on spending on a rakhi outfit this year then these ideas will definitely help you repurpose from your wardrobe as well.ย

A Simple Anarkali

Thereโ€™s no chance that you donโ€™t own a simple pretty cotton anarkali. So thereโ€™s really nothing easier and more obvious than this. Even if you donโ€™t own one youโ€™ll find endless options in the market and even online. This is especially the perfect choice if you are headed for some end minute shopping. This is one of the best rakhi outfit ideas that you can opt for. When it comes to accessorizing an outfit like this thereโ€™s nothing easier. Remember all the oxidised silver jewellery youโ€™ve been hoarding from janpath and sarojini nagar. Well make use of that here! Donne it on and add a pair of block heels to the mix and your look is complete.ย 

The Long Kurti

When wondering what to wear this Raksha Bandhan, an outfit like this is a very easy choice. Itโ€™ll be easily available in the market and you can also have it very made. Experiment with some side or front slits to create something unique. You can definitely play around with all kinds of bottoms with such kurtis. Be it palazzo pants, wide, flare or even cigarette pants. It sure is a versatile choice. Go for some simple diamond studs, bangles and you are good to go.ย 

A Sharara

If you wish to amp it up a little bit this year then a sharara is what you can opt for. Itโ€™s surely the perfect rakhi dress. This is the kind of outfit you can dress-up or dress-down. It all depends on the material and how heavy a work you go for. Itโ€™s something that you can play around with whether itโ€™s a usual rakhi celebration or the first one after your wedding. For the former situation go for simpler jewellery, maybe some small oxidised pieces. For the latter you can opt for some heavier jewellery or something dainty yet semi-precious. With this outfit you can also choose between juttis or heels.ย

If itโ€™s more of a relaxed event at your relatives then an outfit like this would be both comfortable and super stylish. These fitted pants can rather effortlessly and effectively amp up any outfit for you. You can go for a short kurti or even something just like this — something with uneven edges. It looks very elegant, classy and trendy at the same time. For these weโ€™d recommend some dainty jewellery to keep in line the elegance and minimalism of the outfit. With shoes you can again decide between flats or heels. And the best part about this outfit is you can opt for a chain sling or even a baguette. Itโ€™ll definitely make your look all the more trendy. If you wish to experiment more, add a belt to the mix! It sure makes for one of the trendy raksha bandhan outfits.

A Heavy Rakhi Outfit

Now this sure is for the newly wedded girl. If you love heavy outfits then no better opportunity than your first rakhi. Opt for some heavily embellished or embroidered anarkalis or shararas or a dhoti style outfit. If you wish to keep it slightly simpler than go for a simple outfit and balance it out with a heavy dupatta. Weโ€™d recommend going for lighter jewellery since itโ€™s probably not a full blown function. Itโ€™s a comparatively smaller event hence you can tone it down with the jewellery. Also, for footwear weโ€™d recommend flats, kohlapuris or juttis!ย 

Peplums & Pants

Now if you wish to experiment a little and create something trendy then go for a nice and unique peplum. Pair it with some loose pants and you have yourself a rather unique outfit. These cotton outfits with different cuts, cinches and works sure can help you create something quirky. The somber nude colours of these outfits are even making them stand out even more. So you actually donโ€™t have to look at something too colourful either. Something like this would be perfect. If you so wish you can even skip accessorising with an outfit like this. Go for some elegant block heels or sliders and your outfit is complete.ย
