If there’s a lesson in doing edgy Indian wear, you’ve got to learn it from Sonam Kapoor. Add a biker leather jacket to your dressy, heavily embroidered traditional ensemble. It will not steal focus from your outfit but will bring some swag to your whole look!

6. Shawl as a dupatta
Shawls today are no longer the boring, monotone ones our mothers used to wear. They’re available in a spectrum of colours, with embroidery, shine and lot of sequins too. Pick one that goes well with your suit and use it instead of wearing a dupatta. You can also use it as a second pallu with a saree.

10. Layer a cardigan over ghagras or palazzos
Yes, instead of wearing a top or a kurti with your palazzos, layer it with a cardigan instead. You can opt for a high neck sweater or even furry cropped sweaters to give it a twist. Skip the kurti and wear this with your Indian wear lowers instead! Another great idea is to slip on a warm cape over your kurtis and sarees. Remember Sonam Kapoor at Cannes? It really can bring a high-fashion vibe to your look.
