This Diwali don't burst pataka, be a pataka!

It's that time of the year again!
2020 maybe cancelled but your style doesn’t have to be. And nothing beats the effortlessness and versatility of the six-yard beauties that make heads turn at any event (Maybe don’t obsess over turning heads this time,'cause pandemic and all, you get it. You don’t need validation from society, Right? )
Festivals during the pandemic may hit different but let’s take a conscious effort to celebrate good over evil in a safe and sustainable way. That being said, you don't have to compromise on your style for I have curated saree draping looks to keep you on the radar this festive season.
So let's get started!
1. Wear it over pants


Indo-fusion twist and ease of movement are both guaranteed in this look.
Drape it over palazzo pants in dhoti style on one side and pleats on the other using mix and match prints and textures to get the graphic look.
2. Jacket over saree

Throw on a long-line or short ethnic jacket over the drape and keep it warm and vogue.
3. Kurta as blouse

Swap your boring blouse for a kurti and finish the drape with a contemporary feel.
4. Higher hems

Try shorter hemlines instead of floor skimming saree lengths, just like Sonam Kapoor. Pair it with a voluminous blouse on top to balance the proportions.
5. Pallu as dupatta

Go for a dhoti drape and let the pallu fall like dupatta on the side.
6. Where drapes cross

Go for off-shoulder pleated drapes on both sides and tuck it neatly with a belt.
7. Bare thy legs

Look like a sexy goddess in this look, as you shake a leg to your fave Bollywood tunes.
8. Can't care for pleats!

Too laid-back to pleat, style it this way.
9. Shift the pleats

Move the pleats to one side and let the front pallu fall gracefully.
10. Sheer romance

11. Knot that pallu

12. Double the drape, double the drama

Use a brocade dupatta alongside pallu for a total stunner of a look.
13. Pallu as scarf


14. Pallu to the front


15. Cascading pallu
