What made the fashion at this year’s Durga Puja celebrations interesting was that everyone approached it differently.

Kajol went with a rich red saree and kundan jewellery. Nysa kept things light in pale yellow, Jaya chose bright pink, Tanishaa opted for pastel blue, and Mouni brought in mustard yellow with a more dramatic styling choice.

There was no single formula, and that’s probably the best thing about festive fashion.

You can wear a heavily embroidered outfit if that’s your style, or keep things simple with a saree you already own. You can go all out with jewellery, or let the fabric and colour do the work. Both approaches can look just as good.

So, if you’re still figuring out what to wear for the next festive gathering, these looks offer a few easy ideas. Pick a colour you feel good in, find a saree or suit that suits your style, and don’t feel pressured to make every detail perfect.

Sometimes, the outfits that work best are the ones that feel the most like you.
