Navratri, the season of fasting, celebration and grand dandiya nights, is finally here.
Throughout these nine days and nine nights, everyone will step out in their fanciest outfits to dance to the beats of the garba.
Each day, Goddess Durga will be dressed in different attire, each symbolising a unique virtue.
This year, Day One of Navratri is marked by white -- a colour that defines purity, peace and new beginnings.
Whether you are stepping out for an office meeting, a casual evening with friends or to revel in the Navratri spirit, here are some ways in which you can style your white look.
