It’s that time of the year again when you start cleaning your house, make sweets and above all shop for new clothes.

With Ganeshotsav beginning today and Navratri and Diwali fast approaching designers suggest you have the right wardrobe to flaunt your festive style.
 
From the right cuts to the right embroidery and designs, designers help you select the perfect outfit for the festive season.

Season motifs

Fashion designer Jhelum Rele shares, “This festive season is all about futuristic digital prints, paisleys, zardozi, stripes and baroque used in a different way.”

Agreeing with her is designer Sakshee Pradhan who suggests, “Traditional motifs in futuristic prints are the new style. Gold leaves, mehendi prints and floral motifs are what you should look at .”

Jewel motifs are what Sounia Gohil recommends, “Team up lehangas with polka jewellery as embellishments and also use Swarovski crystals to create motifs in others.” Sakshee adds, “Geometric abstracts on velvets in 3D effect are a huge hit this season. Block prints are also coming back in a big way.”

Cut-to-cut

Blouses, jackets and kurtas have undergone a new avatar for the festive bling. From asymmetric cuts, off centre slits, c-cuts and the evergreen princess cut are those to choose from. Jhelum says, “Your body type needs to be kept in mind while selecting your dress or blouse cut.
