A slight nip in the air and markets abuzz with activity, this is the time of the year to get together and celebrate the festivals that follow one after another. Just dress up right for the occasion; choose from these options given by top names in the business of fashion

#1 Celebratory, yet serene

One trend that everyone seems to give in to is the cold shoulder style, which has made its way into almost all ensembles. Embrace your ultra-feminine side with this sky blue cold-shoulder cape dress that works perfectly well. With beautiful silver embellishments, it’s festive and yet serene. The colour palette works best on almost all Indian skin-tones and looks the absolute best for daytime functions. Without it being too over-the-top and flashy, this dress gives you all the grandiose you need. It is time to take up this 1980’s trend, which is here to stay!

#2 Peaches & cream

Pastels are the new fad and every girl must consider investing in at least one such outfit. This off-white and pastel peach front-slit lehanga complements modern silhouettes without it being too flashy. Loud embroidery and a duller base help in bringing out the best of the outfit. Nude, beige and toasted almond are the hues that are on everyone’s must have list these. The best time to wear them would be during the day, as they beautifully reflect the sun’s rays. Definitely the right time to invest in some pastel love!

— Akhil Verna, Pitaraah

#3 Stay true to black

Those who cannot do without black, well you don’t have to! This ensemble gives you a lovely concoction of the hand embroideries with a twist to the bubble pleated embellished glaze. A very contemporary look in an absolute favourite shade with a mix and match of drape, teamed with scallop-embroidered layered skirt. Moulded collar and the all-new peek-a-boo sleeves with high-waist skirt is sure one for the festive season.  — Ridhima Bhasin, designer

#4 Wear some colour

Don’t wanna go pastel as the style brigade dictates? Worry not. Choose deep maroon to go with simple, classy and elegant short blouse with lehenga in intricate embroideries. The perfect blend of colours and minimalistic embroideries makes this garment stand apart. Here is your modern interpretation of old style; off-shoulders to celebrate the well-toned you and dash of rich jewel tone to celebrate in style. — Nancy Luharuwalla, De-Belle

#5 Saree saga

If you are the one in love with the whole nine yards, Satya Paul’s new limited edition festive collection, Ramayana, is a must-check-out. Free flowing fabrics, individualistic — contemporary prints and a vibrant colour palette that’s its USP. Soft, diaphanous fabrics like fine georgettes, crepes and a variety of satin and cotton blends provide superior comfort, and are perfect for the season in jewel tones of greens and red capturing the celebratory mode.
