Diwali is right around the corner. This is the time when you need to plan your wardrobe for all those festive parties ahead. Why struggle with decision-making when you can turn to an expert for help? Designer Deepta Raghunath shares with us some easy-to-follow tips on how to get the Diwali look just right.

Indo-western: Instead of going heavily traditiona­l, people can mix and match with different prints and styles.

Deepta says, “People can mix and match with things they already have in their closet. Combing Indian and western is the best way to go. Maxi skirts with collared crop tops, long maxi skirts with belts are also trending at the moment. Men can try dhoti with a nice, tailored jacket.”

Volume: This season has been more about comfort clothing. Deepta adds, “Volume has now become a trend in the fashion world. No more are people reaching out for fitted outfits. Loose silhouette­s like bell sleeves and A-line cuts with bell sleeves are being preferred nowadays. Cape style tunics can be paired with cigarette pants to give an edgy, festive look.”

Go unique with accessorie­s:

Go different with accessorie­s you select to wear with your outfit. Deepta says, “Traditiona­l diamond and jade sets are no more in fashion. Fusion accessorie­s are trending now. People should instead go for indo-western sets like kundans, polkis and various stones. One can style an outfit with a collared crop top, maxi shirt and heavy polki earrings
