Festival time not only means fun and food but looking stylish in the best traditional outfits seems to be in the wishlist for every girl. Going for a double layered look to creating unique styles with mix and match can do wonders to your festive fashion, say experts.

From embroidered anarkalis to flowy shararas, Meena Bindra, Chairperson of brand BIBA and Siddharth Bindra, Managing Director of Rangriti present some of the best style tips to make your festivities even brighter.* Statement bottom wears: Experimenting with bottom wears have become one of the most popular trend in the fashion circuit. Opt for a printed or a flowy bottom wear like nizami shararas, on rich fabrics such as chanderis, brocades to give an extra dimension to your regular outfit. Team it up with statement rings and bracelets to get the desired impression. The look reminisces the styles of the royal Nizams of Hyderabads

* Creating unique styles with mix and match: Adding layers to regular attire can also work wonders. Wear your regular skirt or lehenga with heavily embellished pathani jackets or exquisite benarasi dupattas to create traditional yet the bohemian look for the festive. A statement clutch and a beautifully designed mangtika can create a style statement this festive.

* Sync with double layered looks: Another trend which is picking up like a rage is the double layered looks available in different lengths helping to create one's own artistic reflection. Dramatically designed layered kurtis or anarkalis can be teamed with simple churidars bringing back the easy going styles of Peshwa dynasty.

Trendy designs in form of zari, gotta patti works have breathed in a lease of new life to the age old designs recapturing the splendor of the Mughal era.
