When you feel comfortable, youll look and feel your bestno matter how intricate or elaborate the design.
Events like a haldi, sangeet, and mehndi can all be on the itinerary.
Your clothing can get spoiled, so one can keep it casual in linens and cottons.

If you wear a kurta, add a silk or embroidered vest.
Play with your fashion, accessories, and glam it up.
