If the highlight of your festive wardrobe is a plain white kurta you’ve worn since college, it’s time to retire it with dignity. This season, think pieces that nod to tradition but feel fresh — embroidered co-ords, velvet bombers, tie-dye bandhgalas. You’ll still look festive, but you’ll also look like you actually tried.
