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.

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.
