A sharara is the ultimate winter wedding outfit. It is literally the perfect way to dress up and stay warm with layers underneath. And we are totally rooting for Taapsee’s green velvet sharara because it looks so stunning and, more importantly, warm. So this season, go the sharara sharara way and dance the night away!
3. Add a matching blazer with your saree

Yes, we love blazers with Indian outfits, but not just any kind. For the next wedding, you really don’t have to wear your mummy’s stuffy blazer to keep you warm. And if we have learned one thing from Katrina Kaif, it is to always keep things stylish. Get extra cloth along with your saree and ask your tailor bhaiyya to stitch you a matching blazer for an uber-chic outfit.
4. Silk outfits are the OG fashion saviours

High heels are a pain in every season, but when you add the bitter cold and exposed toes to the equation, your feet won’t feel like a part of your body anymore. So, it is time to ditch those high heels and slip into something more comfortable and warm, like loafers. And this look by Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is so chic and comfy. We can’t wait to try this at the next wedding.
8. Layer your off-shoulder dress for a sleek look
