This Diwali, keep it stylish
It's about striking the right balance between the looks of a runaway bride and a plain Jane. Not that the look is difficult to achieve but you have to break certain made-up fashion rules. Beginning with the bling, it's not the definition of festive wear. Swarovski, zari work, gotta patti work are all fine but not a suffocating overdose of it. At the same time, keep simple prints, khadis, handlooms for post Diwali time. It's time to indulge, not over-indulge though. You need examples to understand it better? Here is the Diwali guide as to what will suit the occasion….Over to fashion designers who are more than happy to spell out the festive trends.

Or button rose bouquets, lilies of the valley, all tied up with Queen Annie’s lace and purple Saffron Crocus? Or the food? ‘Cider-braised pheasant and pan-roasted quail, Top Chef: Texas-style’… that’s how one of the list goes!
