And as we continue with the ultimate hunt, there is more that one needs to look into. In terms of fantastic festive wear, we often stumble down upon the usual suits, lehengas and sarees, which I mean are classic but kinda boring too. Right? Hence, to add a flavour of freshness to your closet, we are taking help from your favourite stars to look out for better designs and unconventional silhouettes. From bold pant-sarees to draped skirts and sturdy jackets, we are sure these new-age styles will soon become your festive staples. Take a look.
The Gen-Z Skirt
Giving a fresh, new update to the usual lehengas, draped skirts are the Gen-Z favourites. Dipped into a variety of prints, this form-fitting silhouette is all parts sexy and perfect for special occasions. As suggested by the sartorial choices of actresses Bhumi Pednekar, Tara Sutaria and Kiara Advani, these draped skirts will work like magic with glitter corsets, scarf top-esqué cholis and bustier-blouses.

Sway In Shararas
It is long enough before we say goodbye to the festive shararas. A silhouette that has travelled from the era of Mughal-E-Azam to suit the trend taste of today, shararas too have gone through a phase of easy transformation to get better each passing year. As an alternative to larger-than-life sharara and kurta sets, you can mix a few things up by pairing your favourite flared pants with a tiny blouse and long-trailing jackets. Accessorising to the least, this is the easiest approach to dressing up for both intimate and grand gatherings. You can take style cues from Shanaya Kapoor, Ananya Panday and Janhvi Kapoor to find your next pick.

Festive Co-ords
The ongoing craze for coordinated separates is not just limited to lounge shorts and skirts. The style has crawled into the category of festive wear as well. In the latest outing of these not-so-traditional sets, celebrities have been picking a piece to marinate both comfort and style. Be it, Kiara Advani or Vaani Kapoor, our favourite leading ladies are styling these separates with beaded, bohemian jewellery or with an added twist of a head scarf. Ranging from lightweight fabrics as styled by Ms Kapoor to a heavily-embroidered set as worn by Kiara Advani, you can find your style twin from this wide-ranging variety.
