Speaking of festive fashion might take our minds instantly to lustrous heritage silk sarees, elegant anarkalis, and twirl-worthy lehengas. But if you are gearing up for pre-Diwali celebrations, remember that the norms of ethnic fashion have changed. From adding modern silhouettes in traditional designs, to switching dupattas with capes and veils, the new era of festive wear is here to jazz up your Diwali card nights.

Loose the dupatta to give an unexpected twist on your classic look. Add a long, open-sleeved cape to it, or fix up your cropped choli with a long, flowing veil.

While a floral saree with ruffled ends is a no-brainer, you can stand apart with a high-neck frilled blouse or an off-shoulder blouse with frills.

You can pick a comfortable, fuss-free option and still embrace the festive vibe. Get yourself into a cozy kaftan dress with bold, funky prints.

Jewellery can make or break your sartorial charm at the card parties! Don’t be afraid to play with statement pieces this time. Modern heirlooms like a fun pastel polki neckpiece or a timeless set solid in gold made of temple jewellery are the perfect way to complete your traditional look this year.
