With October almost here, it’s time for you to look forward to your favourite festivals, starting with the much-awaited Nykaaland. You know it’s really in full swing when your social media feed is chock-a-block with Nykaaland posts! The second edition of India’s biggest beauty playground will be as much a fashion event as it is about beauty, and the phenomenal lineup of performers! So those in attendance, listen up – don your most experimental and bold outfits, because girl, ’tis the season to put your best fashion foot forward.
While some are willing to give time-honoured staples and vintage denim a shot, stand out and shine through in what we think is going to rule this festive season; it ranges from baggy cargo pants and oversized jeans to sheer dresses and corsets. If not an old boho aesthetic, which includes cowboy boots, fringe, and crochet, then Y2K-inspired ensembles it is! Here’s a roundup of everything ever so stylish you need to strut in to make a statement this festival season.

Janhvi Kapoor’s Take On The Brat Trend
One might think that the colour green taking over anything and everything is something that just happened only this year but our girl, Janhvi Kapoor is here to prove you wrong. Before any of us could have even thought of getting out of the reign of hot pink that was last year, Janhvi Kapoor bought in the change with her monochromatic green fit. We went all hearts for her cutout heart dress that came with coquette-ish bow details on the side. And as we return with the second edition of Nykaaland, you too can bring a similar look back while staying just on trend, thanks to Brat Core.

Katrina Kaif’s Denim-On-Denim Take
The one Y2K trend that literally never goes out of style or out of mind has to be the denim-on-denim look and Katrina Kaif is on this bandwagon with us. Going for a complete corpcore aesthetic, Kaif was spotted in a denim blazer paired with denim pants and a beige top making for a blank canvas for the double denim look to shine through. Dabbling between power dressing and an office siren look, Katrina Kaif channelled a hardcore boss babe energy. You too can opt for this chicest workwear look for this festive season by opting for this denim blazer by freakin while pairing it with a light blue solid wavy pattern straight fit denim from MIXT.

Looking as fierce as she always does, Dua Lipa has our hearts, be it for her vocals or her stand-out style. Whether it’s her bedazzled pants or a slinky top paired with a baggy bottom, her style offers the best of both boyish streetwear and sensual feminine fits. Making the rockstar core her own thing, this specific leather jacket paired with a bodycon red is our personal favourite. You too can channel Lipa’s signature tomboy chic to any upcoming fest by going for a red strapless dress by Color Capital and layer it with the AFRM Carter jacket.
