Jewel Tones vs. Pastels: Which Designer Suit Color is Right for Your Next Event?

Choosing between Jewel Tones and soft pastels is almost like choosing between pani puri and kulfi. Both are amazing. Both make you feel a certain way. And both can completely transform your vibe the moment you slip into your suit. Some days you want that deep, royal look that makes you feel like you are glowing from the inside. Other days, those soft pastel shades feel like calm, early-morning sunshine on your skin.

So how do you pick the right colour for your next event?  Just understand how each colour palette behaves with different fabrics. And trust me, once you know how mul cotton, pure muslin silk, and pure viscose silk feel on the body, the choice becomes so much easier. Let’s break it down, the Ruaati way, warm, simple, and super relatable.

Mul Cotton — Your Best Friend for Pastels & Everyday Comfort

Mul cotton is that fabric you wear on days when you want to breathe. It’s soft, calming, and perfect for Indian summers.

Why Pastels Look Magical on Mul Cotton

Pastels + mul cotton = that soft, breezy combo you never want to take off. The fabric is already so airy and gentle that pastel shades like peach, mint, lavender, and powder blue look extra soothing. You know that feeling when you wrap yourself in a soft, sun-warmed bedsheet? That’s mul cotton in pastel form.

Jewel Tones Work Too

If you’re someone who loves colour but hates heavy fabrics, go for Jewel Tones in mul cotton. Shades like emerald or berry look bright but never overwhelming because mul keeps everything subtle. It's perfect for:

●       Brunch dates

●       Shopping days

●       Office celebrations

●       Cute café meet-ups

How Mul Cotton Feels

It feels like air, Light, breathable, and so gentle that your skin literally sighs in relief.

Quick Styling Tips

●       Keep jewellery minimal, small hoops or studs.

●       Dewy makeup works best.

●       Add a soft dupatta to complete the pastel vibe.

Pure Muslin Silk

Muslin silk is for days when you want to look polished without going full heavy-duty festive. It has that natural sheen that catches light beautifully without feeling “too much.”

Pastels on Muslin Silk

Pastels on muslin silk give a very classy, Instagram-worthy glow. It’s feminine, soft, and perfect if you love elegance without effort. A muslin suit in pastel pistachio or blush pink feels like soft moonlight on your skin, gentle, pretty, and graceful.

Jewel Tones on Muslin Silk

Here’s where it gets fun. Muslin silk softens Jewel Tones, so you get colour, but not drama. Think muted emerald, softened teal, deep wine, but in a sleek, smooth finish. Perfect when you want richness without going overboard.

Perfect For

●       Roka ceremonies

●       Evening poojas

●       Low-key festive gatherings

●       At-home celebrations

How Muslin Silk Feels

Light but structured. Soft but elegant. It’s the fabric that makes you look like you put in effort, even when you didn’t.

Styling Tips

●       Go for delicate jewellery.

●       Keep hair loose and flowy.

●       Glossy lips pair beautifully with muslin silk.

Pure Viscose Silk

If Jewel Tones had a favourite fabric, this would be it. Pure viscose silk doesn’t just hold colour, it loves colour. It absorbs deep shades like ruby, sapphire, plum and emerald so beautifully that you instantly look dressed up, even before the jewellery goes on.

Why Viscose Silk + Jewel Tones

These colours look rich, full, and luxurious. The drape is smooth. The shine is subtle but glamorous. You walk into a wedding wearing a ruby viscose silk suit,  trust me, you’ll feel like the celebration itself.

Perfect For

●       Weddings

●       Sangeets

●       Cocktail nights

●       Any big event where photos matter

How Viscose Silk Feels

It drapes like water. Soft. Smooth. Elegant. It gives that festival-ready look without the itchiness or heaviness of traditional silks.

Styling Tips

●       Go bold with earrings, jhumkas, or statement chandbalis.

●       Smokey eyes look stunning with Jewel Tones.

●       A sleek bun completes the glam vibe.

Jewel Tones or Pastels?

Here’s the simple cheat sheet your stylish best friend would give you:

●       If comfort is the priority → Pastels in Mul Cotton

●       If you want elegance with softness → Both palettes in Pure Muslin Silk

●       If the event is grand → Jewel Tones in Pure Viscose Silk

At the end of the day, wear what makes you feel beautiful, the colour that lifts your mood, the fabric your skin loves, and the vibe you want to carry.

Conclusion

Choosing between Jewel Tones and pastels doesn’t have to be confusing. Just think about the vibe you want and how you want your outfit to feel on your skin. If you want breezy comfort, mul cotton pastels will always love you back. If you’re craving soft elegance, muslin silk handles both palettes like a dream. And if you’re in the mood for rich, festive glam, Jewel Tones on pure viscose silk will never disappoint.
