Go bold, go extra
Turn your monochrome saree from drab to fab with the addition of exaggerated bell sleeves and a contrasting neckpiece, just like Kriti Sanon.

Break the print
Wondering how to ace the print-on-print trend? Trust Sonakshi Sinha to help you out. Stick to the same tones and break the print of your blouse with a cropped shirt of a different print. Knot it in the front to give it some edge.

Boho vibes only

Mix and match
Need a last-minute idea? Janhvi Kapoor is here to inspire you. Match your traditional lehenga with western elements by pairing it with a white ruffled shirt. If you like a good DIY, you can choose to crop an old shirt too and style it with a high pony, dewy makeup and heavy earrings.

Some groundbreaking florals
Miranda Priestly might not like florals but we do, and so does Katrina Kaif. A watercolour effect, floral-printed blouse is a great option for daywear. Compliment your look with chaandbalis and you're good to go.

The one that's got your back
