SOUNIA GOHIL

This Diwali, it’s not about going heavy. No long dupattas or yards of fabric. The big trend is to go minimalistic, but style your ensemble with lots of accessories. Keep it light with these picks:
The maxi dress: Pick one that is long and simple but has Indian embellishments. You could team it with a churidar and dupatta or just wear it as a dress.
The statement accessory: Don’t layer it on. Pair your kandoora [full-length kurta] or sari with a brooch. It’s more eye-catching.
The new Anarkali: Choose a lighter style and wear it as a dress. And ditch the dark purples. Neons, pastels and nudes all work just as well and can be festive too. Neons and black, particularly, make a very chic statement.
