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.
