fter having spent over 50 days in lockdown, most people are now tired of being in their pyjamas, shorts and tees. And it makes this the right time to take a cue from celebritie­s, who aren’t letting lockdown blues ruin their fashion game.

Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently shared a picture of her rocking a blue six yard drape and wrote, “Felt like wearing a saree. So I did...at home.”

Stylist Vikram Sethi agrees that many celebs are ditching their stay-at-home wardrobe and opting for elaborate styles. “The good part is that it also inspires others. Many people have reached out to me for tips on upping their wardrobe game amid lockdown,” he says.

Enjoying Ramzan festivitie­s at home, actors Hina Khan and Gauahar Khan are also styling themselves in traditiona­l attires. “Ditching the pyjamas and dressing up can be a mood booster. The myriad colours of Indian attires can truly bring life into our days at home. If this year it means celebratin­g indoors, so be it,” says Hina.

Designer Rina Dhaka outlines that the effort of dressing up is worth the time. “We’ve become laid back, so getting up and dressing up is an effort. But it’s like having a hair wash and blow dry, you’ve to make effort, eventually it feels great,” says Dhaka.

Designer Nachiket Barve also terms it as a perfect time to experiment with style. “Take those sartorial risks which you otherwise wouldn’t have, when you’ve to step out,” he says. And stylist Isha Bhansali feels that clothes make a lot of difference to your mood, and encourages all to join the trend.
