FESTIVE SPIRIT/STYLE STATEMENT M10
ANITA DONGRE:
“If you’re opting for traditional
classics, your outfit should be
beautiful, vibrant and bright-
colored. Anarkalis embellished
with traditional art work well
for those who prefer to stick to
tradition. A kundan piece or
antique gold jewelry will com-
plete the look well.”
Fabrics like bandhani, brocade
and velvet, are in this season,
she says, while color wise, red,
maroon, shocking pink, deep
blue and gold will create the
right impression.
“For those who would like to
experiment a little and create
their own style statement, try
pairing a clean-cut jacket with
sharara pants/ a lehenga, or
even pallazos or leggings.
Sheer jackets with delicate
hand embroidery in self-color
can look fabulous and one can
complete the look with
beautiful, antique-finish
earrings. You can even pair a
traditional bandhani
lehenga with a netted corset
top in a contrasting shade.
Accessorize with fanny packs
at the waist,” she adds.
