If you're planning to don the classic mundu for your celebrations, pairing it with the right shirt can make all the difference. Natural and rich fabrics like linen are the best choice for getting the look right. Satyaki Ghosh, CEO, Domestic Textiles (Linen Club) Aditya Birla Group, shares tips and insights here.
Start with the basics – a crisp, solid-colored shirt can never go wrong. Earthy tones like beige, ivory, or muted pastels are the preferred options. These colors complement the mundu's simplicity while adding a touch of sophistication to your ensemble.
Break away from the monotony with subtle stripes or checks. A striped or checkered shirt can add a dash of personality without overshadowing the elegance of the mundu. Choose patterns that aren't too bold to maintain a harmonious balance.
Experiment with contrasting colors to make a statement. If your mundu is white or off-white, pair it with a vibrant, contrasting shirt – think deep blues, rich greens, or even a bold maroon.
For a more relaxed and playful vibe, opt for shirts with small, subtle prints. Florals, small geometric shapes, or paisley prints can add a touch of flair without being too overwhelming.
