Flowing feminine dresses work well with this trend, as long as you stick to a predominantly neutral tone. For a bohemian look, which works well with lighter fabrics, pair the dress with bangles and gladiator-style sandals, while thicker fabrics are better paired with sporty sneakers.

In a more diffused format, Shibori prints can add a fresh touch to your Indian wear, says Makhijani. She recommends picking soft pastel colours, such as blush pinks and light blues, and wearing minimal jewellery so that your accessories do not compete with your outfit.
