Convert a Summer Staple

Cotton floral dresses are a summer staple as they are breathable and flowy. However, Selena Gomez proves that a chunky knit cardigan thrown over can turn it into a winter outfit. To recreate this look, you will need a knit cardigan in neutral tones so it can be paired with multiple dresses. While sneakers are perfect for stepping out during daytime in winter months, you can also go for stockings and boots if you’re styling this for a night-time event.

Stay Warm This Wedding Season

The winter season brings along several wedding invites and freezing through outdoor ceremonies is just not ideal. On the other hand, covering up your beautiful ethnic attire with a shawl is also heartbreaking. This winter, opt for a velvet saree with a full-sleeve blouse that offers full coverage and warmth while looking regal. Elegant kurta sets with trousers, embellished anarkalis, and velvet gowns will all be ideal options to keep you party-ready for winter.

Stylish Pleated Skirts

Pleated or accordion skirts are trending right now and can lend an elegant touch to your winter attire. While pleated skirts flatter tall, lean body types, it is easy to style them to suit most body shapes. The trick is to tuck in your knitwear at the correct length. If you are heavier at the bottom, tuck it in right above your waist. Sweaters tucked in or half-tucked in at the waist will take focus away if your top half is heavier.

For a monochrome look like Sara Ali Khan, go for matching puffers, tops, and track pants. While Sara wears black trainers with this look, you can definitely go all-out and match your footwear.
