On the other hand, if you’re keeping the skirt flairy and layered, pair it with a heavily embroidered top in a contrasting color!

If you’re not a lehenga or skirt person, anarkalis are the another popular option with the graceful gher that lets you twirl and swirl and feel like a princess!

While pastels shades with a bit of bling work well for summers, rich dark colours with heavy embroidery is the way to go for winters.
