- Ponchos and kaftan tops in unconventional designs
- Knit dresses and tops
- Capris (ending around 7 cm above your ankle; a little embroidery helps)
- Slim trousers with voluminous tops
- Dogri style churidars, Patiala salwars and longer kurtis that just kiss your knees
- Scarves
- Corsets and structured garments
- Flared jeans
- Asymmetrical hemlines
- Parallel pants
Tote bags: Go well with silhouettes that play on volume. Try bright colours like orange.
Metal: Still around, look for coins and detailing.
Beads and shells: Bags, belts and even footwear will see lots of both. Beaded sashes around the waist instead of belts should be a hit this party season.
Jewellery: Imitation jewellery will be big—even the finance minister seems to agree.
