Kurta Pallazzo Sharara-
The Sharara came into fashion way back in the 90s with those hip music videos. We also had actors like Kareena Kapoor rocking the Sharara in hit songs like Bole Chudiya. This outfit was all the rage back then, and it still is even today. But if you don’t want to go all out and bring out your inner Poo, you can tone it down by pairing a nice pair of palazzos with an ethnic print crop top. Add accessories like Jhumka’s and kadas and you have an outfit fit for pandal hopping.

Quirky Lehenga-
A Lehenga is a great outfit for a wedding, sangeet or reception, but it can be worn to smaller functions and ceremonies like Durga Pooja, Diwali celebrations and even Navratri. Simply pair a solid coloured A-line skirt with a printed crop top. Add quirky necklaces, long earrings and rings to spice up the look. You can experiment with different abstract designs for blouses to go with your skirts. Finding a good tailor helps. You can also look to celebrities like Parineeti Chopra, Sara Ali Khan for some inspiration.
