Skirts have come back to the fashion scene in Kerala after a lapse of many years. These come with different styles, prints and are made out of exclusively high priced fabrics. Those who have long legs generally go in for midi skirts and the full length wrap around skirts. Those who are on the bulkier side can opt for long flowing skirts with floral prints which are trendy and in-vogue.

The Kerala fashion scene is witnessing a renewed interest in ethnic skirts with handwork, beadwork, embroidery, tie-and-dye, sequins, etc. The fabrics from which these are made are georgettes, cottons, etc, all of which are easily available and can be tailor-made to fit perfectly one’s body shape.

Leather wears are also becoming more and more popular these days among the youngsters, especially with the high fashion young women of Kerala. The most popular ones are the slim line skirts and cropped jacket that have multiple zips and buttons . Besides, there are also the pencil skirt and the multi-pannelled skirt fitted at the hips, which is the look of the day. The oversized poncho or cape coat that comes with a soft rolled collar is also becoming popular now with the youth.

Compared to the vast array of designer clothes available for men, the selection of designer clothes for women seems difficult as it is rather limited. Most shops prefer to stock these forms in smaller quantities. To tide over this selection scarcity, the women prefer to go in for designer labels that are available in plenty. Presently a variety of sarees has arrived, with more embroidery works that were hitherto not to be seen around. To coincide with the changing trends in saree additions, the present day crop of designer blouses also feature additional works that add to the beauty and image of the blouse. Though the price tag tends to be on the higher side, designer dresses among salwar kameez, ghagra, lacha, churis etc also exhibit a general acceptance.
