Your schedule is probably full of Diwali parties and other family get-togethers because you've decided to resume your social life. Coupled with social anxiety comes the concern of having too much clothing but not knowing what to wear. Because we have gotten into the routine of sitting around in our pajamas and spending much of our time alone, we must pay more attention to the most fundamental aspects of proper attire.

Add More

When in doubt, build up. It is an easy method to embellish a basic kurta. Putting on a sleeveless bandh gala jacket is a safe solution, but we discourage being overly cautious. Wear a button-down that matches your trousers, as Anil Kapoor does, or a long jacket, as Arjun Kapoor does. If none of these options is available, opt for a structured blazer or a velvet one for a formal or festive flair. Alternatively, choose a bomber jacket or imitate Kareena Kapoor's aggressive style by layering your co-ord kurta pajama set with a leather jacket.

Elevate It

Enhance your ensemble with an embroidered shawl or textured dupatta. Drape it over your shoulder or carry it in your arms for a royal touch. Match prints in the style of Saif Ali Khan, or clash prints if you're up for the challenge. It is a terrific method to incorporate textures and patterns without trying too hard.

Contemporise It

The culture that blends traditional garb with popular fashion – Pair your traditional kurta-pajama outfit with a pair of sneakers that you use every day. It may be more appropriate to replace it with more formal brogues to give the impression of authority if you feel that is too risky for you.

Bottoms up

Siddharth Malhotra demonstrates how to style your reliable denim, but we want to play it up. Instead of playing it safe with experimental bottoms, push the envelope. Go for snazzier variants such as brocade trousers or printed dhoti pants to elevate your simple kurta instantly.

Extra accessories

Accessories are an easy way to add a touch of glimmer to an outfit without attempting too hard. You can follow the route of the Maharaja and overlay diamonds and pearls, or you can wear a simple necklace. If you are searching for classic accessories, an antique brooch or simple cufflinks would suffice.
