Draping a sari isn’t easy but it’s easily the most beautiful garment you’ll ever wear.

Whether you go traditional like Madhuri Dixit or up the ante and add a matching belt like Shilpa Shetty, you'll look festive this season.

If you aren’t a fussy dresser, wear a white kurta-pajama and add some zing to your look by opting for a colourful dupatta.

How cool does Anil Kapoor look in his ethnic avatar!

A Nehru jacket is perfect for every occasion but, if you’re still confused, go for the Modi look that seems to be in fashion.
