3. Dhoti Dress or Kurta
If you want to give Indo-western look a try, you can wear dhoti style kurtis. You can change the look of your dhoti dress or kurta by pairing it with a long shrug and a stole. Just put your hair back and wear light earrings, basic flats to go with it.
4. A Single Plain Kurta

5. A Full-Length Anarkali

Shrugs are something which goes with everything be it jeans, hot pants, palazzos, dresses, etc. To get a festive look, grab a long kurta and wear a shrug over it.

Pairing palazzo with anything just adds a fashionable makeover to any outfit. Wear an under-toned long kurta with bright palazzo to add some style to the usual boring attire. To make it food festive add minimal jewellery and keep your hair open up.
