Mixed Bag


6 hot, sizzling, never before twists to your regular festival looks

Year after year festivals give us that much needed excuse to deck up and dazzle, a time when we do not mind swapping the comfort of our no fuss jean and tee look for the sheer opulence of nine yard kancheevarams and flowing tissue ghagras. With experimentation being the key word in the world of fashion today it would be a crime to not infuse a little bit of fun and glam into our regular festival looks while not taking away from the self possessed elegance of these classic styles. So, go ahead have fun playing stylist this Diwali

• Think backless cholis and noodle strap blouses are too tame? Structured and bold shoulders are so Fall 2009. Try a blouse with shoulder pads with your sari for the perfect exaggerated shoulder look.

• Swap your dupatta for a fitted shrug (the shorter the better) and your traditional salwar kameez /churidhar gets an instant lift. Opt for a sequined shrug if the rest of your outfit could use a little bling. Printed shrugs work best if your outfit is heavily embellished.

• Team an embellished anarkali kurta with transparent black stockings for an evening out and watch heads turn.

• Colour co ordinate a long flowing ghaghra with a simple slim fit white shirt worn with an intricately detailed spaghetti over for interesting effect

• A voluminous patiala pant works better with a fitted tee than the regular kurti. Add a corsage or a printed scarf for quirky edge if the tee is plain.

• A quilted jacket worn with churi pants in a basic hue is a safe bet if you love androgynous styles
