Anarkali, a renowned courtesan of the Mughal empire is the inspiration behind the name 'Anarkali suits' and the attire came into being. Over time, the looks changed from floor-length to mid-length but the shape of the Kurti remained the same. You pair it with churidar. Earlier it was styled with pyjamas as well and in recent times we can see the Anarkali being paired with almost every kind of long bottoms, shararas, ghagras, palazzos, trousers, etc. This outfit is easy to carry and looks regal and beautiful.

3. Pantsuit

The style of pantsuits was introduced in the 1920s, but not adopted thoroughly by all women. The word 'trouser pants' was famous in Britain during the first world war and later became a trend everywhere. The pantsuits are sleek and comfortable in wearing and look classy. You can incorporate it with a long, short, or medium-length shirt. The pant is all over straight with side cuts at the bottoms. Pairing it with some dainty long earrings and styling the hair into a high ponytail will give a classic and chic look.
