Gone are the days when footwear for the festive season meant a jaded pair of gold flats or your everyday kitten heels. Today, you can pair your favourite Indian outfit with an array of contemporary shoes inspired by the many colors, elements and crafts of India; think pearl embellished flats, mojaris in Benarasi Silk, mirrored Kolhapuris, ghungroo juttis and even Kalamkari printed heels. What’s most exciting is that these will work for everything on your social calendar—whether you’re hosting a small Diwali party or heading for an intimate wedding!
