Famous through all eras, the traditional Pattu Pavadai outfits are embraced with bright combinations of colours. Maroon and gold, emerald and pink, mustard and maroon, and royal blue and contrasting borders are traditionally loved colour pairings. The modern twist in styles progresses the colour palette even more with unusual combinations like lavender and antique gold, powder blue and burgundy, rust and blush pink, or mint green and dark purple.
This new approach allows the traditional silk material to win new life without losing the festive charm. Utilising contrasting sleeves and borders can also show the whole set in a new light. Instead of focusing on a perfectly matched outfit, some experiments with complementary tones can ensure a more modernised look.
