What the Nykaa Fashion staffers are gifting their mums

by Drishti Mistry

As well as we know our mothers, picking out the perfect gift for her year after year for Mother’s Day can get a bit intimidating. More so, in times like these of the Corona crisis. So, we thought of asking our staffers as to what’s on their gifting wish list and why, just so that it can help you discover a few fashionable pieces that might find favour in your mum’s wardrobes too! Scroll down to find out what they’re surprising their mums with on her special day…

Hand me downs form a huge part of my sustainable wardrobe – they are a great combination of value for clothing and an emotional connect. I’m always happy to re-wear pieces passed down to me by siblings, parents and grandparents. I also recommend that don’t always throw away clothes you don’t wear – try to see if they can be cut and styled in a different way or be upcycled – for example a long jumpsuit cut into a short one or an old jeans converted into a shirt etc. And if you still can’t find use for them, donate them instead of trashing it away.

My mother has developed her own personal style over the years, and these pieces resonate with her that the most. Her workwear closet is inundated with classic Ritu Kumar pieces, and therefore it’s befitting to add this one to the list. She loves wearing linen for its comfort, and hence I’ve chosen the Mati and Kaveri pieces. Lastly, I’ve added a statement necklace she can wear with multiple outfits.

My mother is someone who loves to experiment with her fashion choices and has an effortless grace, allowing her to pull off various styles. She also doesn’t shy away from indulging in the latest trends (think dhoti pants and patola dupattas!) or playing around with vibrant patterns and prints. I personally love her ethnic wear wardrobe, as she strikes a balance between traditional and contemporary styles for her everyday wear. For Mother’s Day, I would love to gift her this AM:PM printed kurta set and this Ritu Kumar kurta paired with the dhoti pants. To complement the looks, I would pick up this pair of printed juttis.
