Many thoughts must cross the minds of those prepping their looks for the festive season. Is it trendy; is it on theme; is it comfortable; is it something I see myself wearing for long periods of time; is this different from what was worn last time… the list is endless. In a landscape where fashion feels like a carousel that never stops spinning, dressing for festive occasions can feel confusing.

Sidestepping a traditional lehenga to choose something lightweight and comfortable is a great choice this festive season. Reserve the heavily-embroidered designs for weddings and turn to this Punit Balana-designed, corset-inspired choli and flowy skirt with delicate chand tilla ka kaam instead. Dress it up with a choker and bangles for a ceremonial look.
