The look: Crop top
Glam it up: Swap the traditional choli of your lehenga-choli combo with a edgy and sparkly crop top. Add some Jhumkas for some festive bling.
Recycle: Post Diwali, pair the cropped top with a ripped jeans or a midi skirt for an A/W 2015 update.
The look: Dhoti pants
Glam it up: One of the most popular trends for their fluid flattering form this A/W 15, is the dhoti pant. Pair yours with a bright kurti and embroidered jootis.
Recycle: Add structure to this silhouette with a sharply tailored blazer and pointy pumps for a cocktail-hour ensemble.
The look: Palazzo pants
Glam it up: For the perfect Lakshi puja outfit, pair embroidered palazzo pants with long kurti and dupatta for instant chic. Add some chunky jewellery to jazz up your outfit.
Recycle: Palazzo pants are the easiest to recycle. Opt for a fitted camisole or fringed off shoulder tops for a fun casual vibe.
The look: Embroidered Jacket/capes
Glam it up: Layer embroidered jackets over silk blouses and trousers for a stylish update on the traditional wear.
Recycle: While Jackets can add oomph to any look, top heavy people should stay away from cropped jackets and opt for a long capes and jackets to be layered over tank tops and distressed denims.
