A lot of designers at the recently concluded India Couture Week layered their festive ensemble with jackets. Rahul Mishra paired a gold embroidered lehenga with his distinctive lotus motif with a sheer white jacket. Mishra also showcased a slew of biker jackets with zipper detailing.

For a winter evening, Sabyasachi paired his sari with a long black jacket accented with gold embroidery. Varun Bahl layered a jumpsuit with a granny-ish floral cover-up which can be played around with other read-to-wear pieces like a pair of denims too. Monisha Jaising showcased knee-length jackets with mirror work. Rohit Bal layered his ensemble with ornate, heavily-embroidered floor-length jacket.

The addition of the jacket offsets the fluidity of the outfit and also injects a sporty zing into the ensemble. Besides, this essential can be played around in everyday closet staples.
