When in doubt, sparkle

Flaunt sequins and mirror work to add an Indian touch to your outfit. Any ensemble that allows you to bring out the bling this season is a good choice, and is sure to make heads turn. “But don’t go overboard with the sparkle. Try to balance the look out by choosing an outfit in soft pastel colours like mint green or baby blue. Keep the accessories simple and subtle and let the sequins on your outfit do the talking,” suggests Menda.

Pink & Green Net Lehenga
