These days, wearing a classic saree blouse or a basic chudidar doesn't seem enough- even for family gatherings. With the changing times and the increasing demands of the fashion world, that dream of rocking a glamorous outfit now needs to become a reality.
This festive season, to help you on your journey to the perfect red carpet look, we've compiled a list of a few ways to make your festive outfit more glamorous and trendy.
The first way to revamp your festive outfit is to opt for a trendy blouse instead of a basic style. For example, using a festive corset as a top will elevate your look and modernize your outfit.

Sarees are a staple for Indian festivals. The wearing of sarees is an age-old tradition, and is seen as a symbol of heritage. Even though each woven thread of a saree is rooted in the rich culture of the past, sarees can still be styled in a modern way. Pairing them with a blazer, belt, and various other acessories can give you a look that retains the true essence of a traditional saree while giving it a trendy twist.

Another way to showcase Indian culture while keeping up with trends- wearing outfits made from traditional fabrics but with modern cuts. For example, transforming an Indian fabric, or even a saree, into a stylish Western-style dress allows a fusion blend between Indian culture and global fashion trends.

Forget multicolour and contrasting shades for a minute because it's the season of monochrome fashion. When it comes to colour in fashion, there's vast expanse of trending aesthetics in style. But the most dominant one is the monochrome trend, adopted by wearing garments of a single hue to create a harmonious and visually captivating outfit. This trend revolves around the principle of simplicity and sophistication, and is a great way to show off your fashion sense this festive season.

Wearing big, chunky jewellery can add a touch of festive extravagance to your holiday look. Going all out and being extra with accessories is never a fashion faux pas when it comes to the festive season. That being said, statement jewellery is not for the faint of heart and that's why it'll definitely be a show-stopper should you decide to try it out.

Adding a dupatta to your outfit is like adding a cherry on top of a sundae- it's better to have it on than not.
