From Dries Van Noten to Hermes, from Mulberry to Tibi, the fall winter style landscape is awash with a panoply of jewel-toned dresses brimming with artisanal prints - which range from abstract to florals. There's something about making an entrance into a party in a body-skimming, shine-on silk dress and the classic staple can never let you down when you want to make a statement. Designer Nishka Lulla, who likes to use a lot of silk in her creations says, "It's a very Indian and global staple at the same time. It's practical as well. Have fun with nifty structured pieces in silk and opt for numbers, which have a sliver of embellishments. Alternatively, veer towards either a boxy or a fitted style. Needless to say, silk is a versatile fabric and adds lusture and richness to any look."
With everyone working out, it's time to flaunt that taut physique in this party essential. Designer Rina Dhaka says, "It needs a washboard stomach and a great fabric for winter."
Designer Salita Nanda hails it as "classy and sexy". It's a go-to for a lot of women and has that festive fall. "A contrasting obi belt can give it a definition or team it with a printed belt. All you need is a chic pair of heels with a pointy toe and you're good to go. I see a lot of people pairing it with stockings too. I'd like to suggest that pair it with a pair of textured pretty stockings," says Salita.
Stylist Ami Patel suggests, "Opt for a jewel-toned one or in pastels with a flattering cut."
