Lovers of effortless wedding style, assemble!
We’re witnessing a seamless amalgamation of the accessibility and relatability of H&M with the attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship of Anamika Khanna, as they team up for an exclusive collection. This first-of-its-kind collaboration will take the rich Indian aesthetics of Anamika Khanna to a global audience. The collection strikes the balance between being rich and intricate, and at the same time relaxed and chilled out. If your style is fuss-free yet elegant, this is just the collection for you.
Here’s a series of looks from the collection that you can wear for the next mehendi you attend when you want to look stunning without looking like you’re trying too hard.
First is this beautiful yellow kaftan with a vibrant print. The last thing you want to do at a mehendi function is wear something difficult to handle—You don’t want to have to keep fixing your outfit and risk ruining your beautiful mehendi after all! The silhouette of this outfit makes it an easy, hassle-free and effortlessly stunning pick. Elevate the look with lots of metallics: add a pair of huge statement earrings, a stack of bracelets and a nice metallic clutch. You can pair this look with a pair of juttis, or sky-high pumps, making it super versatile!
Who says you can’t wear a suit to a mehendi? Pair this beautiful green printed pyjama suit with a Kundan choker and an embellished clutch for an off-beat, contemporary mehendi look.
Our next pick is this bohemian crop top and skirt and skirt with a floral print all over it, with pops of green and yellow. We suggest pairing this set with statement oxidised jewellery and a cute potli bag.
It wouldn’t be a list about Anamika Khanna if it didn’t include at least one draped skirt. This one comes with a quirky print all over, a matching crop top and a super breezy cape. You can wear this look with juttis, high heels, or even your favourite pair of sneakers. Add a pop of colour with studs, and that’s about it. Fans of easy, chilled-out looks will love this one!
This look is Anamika’s spin on a classic black suit. Perfect for a cocktail or a formal setting, the embroidery detailing on the jacket doesn’t require you to over-accessorise. Style it with a pair of dress shoes and a leather strap watch and you’re good to go.
The Anamika Khanna x H&M collab has something for everyone. If you’re one for powerful, structured silhouettes, this next look is for you. Go for this stunning long cape if you like your looks to have a lot of gravitas. Pair it with a black bralette and a pair of black wide-legged pants. This look is so strong in itself, it won’t need much accessorising. Wear nice high heels, add a nice choker, skip the earrings and you’re good to go.
This one is a no-brainer for those who are more laid back with their style. Pair it with your favourite sandals or loafers and a stack of beaded bracelets for a mehendi pool party or a sundowner.
