You know the heavy lehenga you made for your cousin's wedding that you never wore again? You can if you wear them as separates.
2. Or a crisp white shirt if you're feeling a bit experimental.
3. A printed top or sweatshirt with a colourful ghagra will make you look like kitsch royalty.
4. Add an intricate, readymade cape to a simple monochromatic outfit.

This works with a saree, a dress or even a simple silk kurta.
5. Or a heavy, embroidered jacket for a style upgrade.
6. Dig through your mum's closet for a heavy dupatta and just pair it with a plain, white churidar kurta.

Add matching accessories and makeup and never feel under-dressed again.
7. Replace the churidar with a long shirt and leggings for maximum quirk factor.
8. A brooch on a white kurta is just festive enough.
9. Add loads of desi accessories to a plain dress.

Another excuse to dig through your mommy's closet and find literal hidden gems.
10. Or a cute embroidered bag.
11. Chances are that you already own a maxi-skirt. Wear it with a crop top to fake a lehenga.

If you don't, they're literally spilling out every clothing store right now.
12. Wear a lace or crochet off-shoulder top for ultimate boho-chic beauty.
13. An embellished top with dhoti pants is the comfiest way to celebrate any festival.
14. Switch the top for a poncho and you can literally go to bed later, just like that.
Try not to burn anyone with your hotness, though.
