Silkmark Tussar Gray Top Katan Silk Pink Dupatta

What makes this colour combination stand out?

The grey-teal top is muted and cool, and the magenta dupatta is vivid, so the contrast is strong but sophisticated. Small round gold dots and a gold edge on the dupatta add warmth. It is a good choice if you like colour but want the base of the outfit to stay calm.

How do I accessorise it?

Let the dupatta lead. Gold or antique-finish earrings echo the gold dots, while a magenta or grey potli or clutch ties the two colours together. For work, keep to small studs; for an evening, a statement pair of jhumkas is enough.

Is lining recommended for the top?

Yes, especially if you will wear it for long hours. A thin cotton lining feels softer on the skin and helps the top last by protecting it from perspiration. A grey or teal-toned lining blends in at the slits and hem, so ask your tailor to plan the cut around it.

What is Tussar silk like?

Tussar is a thread obtained from a wild, wide-winged, yellowish-brown moth, and much of it is produced in Bhagalpur, where it is called Bhagalpur silk. The top fabric here has visible slubs that give it a textured surface, which keeps the muted grey-teal base interesting for office and occasion alike.

Does it need special care?

It is dry clean only. Store the top and dupatta in separate bags in a dry place, refold them every so often, and air them in non-humid weather. Never leave the silk in damp conditions, and dry it in the shade if it gets wet.
