Mani Jassal's Greece Adventure
Recently, our very own Mani Jassal embarked on a breathtaking trip to Mykonos Greece. She took some of her favourite Mani Jassal pieces along for the journey, showcasing how South Asian evening wear can seamlessly transition into perfect vacation attire. Here’s a glimpse of what she packed:
-
Chelsea Duster and Pleated Palazzo: This airy combo is ideal for breezy days exploring quaint streets or lounging by the beach.
-
Santorini Skirt: A must-have for any Grecian getaway, perfect for a glamorous dinner under the stars.
-
Cara Trouser and Matching Corset: Effortlessly dramatic yet lightweight, ideal for a night out on the town or a romantic evening.
-
Oceania Pieces: Designed for the beach, these pieces offer both style and comfort for sunny days by the sea.
-
OG Mirror Bustier: Versatile and stunning, it can be dressed down with shorts for a casual day look or paired with a skirt for an elevated ensemble.
A lot of people might not know that at Mani Jassal we offer more than wedding attire. Bridal wear and wedding guest wear is our bread and butter but we have slowly been moving into making more ready to wear pieces - which includes vacation wear. It's something we love working on in the studio and so much inspiration comes from you, the people who wear MKJ.
"When it comes to inspiration, my creativity kicks into high gear while I'm jet-setting! Before each trip, I'm already envisioning a whole new vacation wardrobe to rock. Sure, it's a whirlwind of designing and getting my team to whip up these looks right before I hop on the plane. I thrive under pressure and with tight deadlines—it's when I'm at my absolute best! And guess what? Post-vacay, that initial wardrobe ends up blossoming into a full-blown collection!" - Mani Jassal

Tips for Re-wearing South Asian Evening Wear
Wondering how to get the most out of your Mani Jassal pieces beyond special occasions? Here are some tips:
-
Statement Pieces: Choose one standout piece from your Indian outfit, like a heavily embellished top or a detailed skirt, and pair it with simpler, contemporary pieces like fitted pants or a solid-colored blouse.
-
Dusters as Cover-Ups: Utilize our dusters as chic beach cover-ups for a touch of glamour by the water, also serves as a practical layer for cooler evenings.
-
Drape Dupattas Creatively: If you have a lehenga or an Indian suit with a dupatta, you can drape it differently to create a chic cover-up over your swimsuit at the beach or poolside.
-
Mix and Match: Pair a corset top or a blouse from your Indian outfit with casual bottom like denim shorts or flowy skirts. This instantly creates a more relaxed and vaction-ready look
