What is Indian equivalent of “black tie” for women? Saris only or salwar kameez also>?





We're in Bangalore. My husband's office is having a formal evening gathering (not a sit-down dinner) but the dress code is black tie or its Indian equivalent. Do I HAVE TO wear a saree? I'm Punjabi and not very comfortable in it (tripped and fell down the last time I wore it.) And can my husband wear a formal kurta-pyjama (dark with embroidery, etc.)? HELP!!! The event is just 10 days away.

    Ya. your husband can wear kurta pyjama and you can put on your typical punjabi dress ( black ) and both of you can dress indian , matching and represent our Indian culture.
