The Ultimate Fashion Guide

The line between traditional and Western wear is beautifully blended this season. Fusion fashion is a major trend, making you look comfortable and unique.

• Saree with a Twist: Top it up with a chic crop top, or style your saree with a jacket. Pre-draped sarees are also perfect for people juggling with time.
• Indo-Western Cord sets: Go for stylish kurta sets with trousers, or a heavy embroidered top with straight pants. This will make way for an elegant look.
• For the Men: Men's fashion is also seeing a fusion wave. Try a classic kurta paired with a modern bandhgala or a Nehru jacket. Be ready to stand out and look modern yet traditional.

• Jewel Tones are In: Get glowing with deep emeralds, sapphire blues, and rich ruby reds. These colors add a touch of premiumness to any outfit.
• Luxurious Textures: Velvet is making a comeback, offering a rich feel. Fabrics like organza and georgette are also popular.
• Subtle Glamour: If you prefer a more minimalist look, opt for solid-colored outfits with delicate, tone-on-tone embroidery. Paired with the right accessories, this can be just as impactful.

Accessorise your outfit to give more weight to your festive look.

• Statement Sleeves: Forget the traditional dupatta and let your sleeves do the talking! Dramatic bishop sleeves, ruffled layers, and embroidered cuffs are all the rage.
• Chunky Jewellery: From oversized necklaces and thick cuffs to sculptural earrings, bold jewellery is back in a big way. Don't be afraid to mix metals, layering silver and gold for a dynamic and modern look.
• Headpieces and Hair Accessories: Go beyond the bindi with ornate maang tikas, floral hairpins, or contemporary metallic headbands. A simple outfit can be completely transformed with a single, stunning hair accessory.

Festive season doesn't have to mean fast fashion. Many people are embracing mindful consumption and choosing more sustainable options.

• Re-wear and Restyle: Before you buy something new, "shop" your own wardrobe! A silk saree or a designer lehenga can be restyled with a different blouse or a nice, elegant border to get a new look.
• Support Local and Artisanal: Look for pieces made with handloom weaves, organic fabrics. This not only gives you a unique, high-quality attire but also supports local artisans and ethical practices.
• Invest in Quality: Look for durable materials like linen and silk that can stand the test of time.

• For a Puja or Family Gathering: A classic kurta set with delicate thread work with simple neckpiece and comfortable juttis or sandals.
• For a Big Party or Wedding: Go all out with a Anarkali suit or a satin saree and pair it with an oversized earring and aesthetic clutch to make a statement.
• For a Casual Get-Together: A comfortable yet stylish fusion co-ord set or a floral-printed kurta is a perfect choice. Pair with embellished sandals and a simple clutch.

Remember, the most important trend is standing tall with poise and confidence. Choose an outfit that makes you feel stylish and bold!
