Creating stylish Diwali outfits while sticking to a budget is all about making of what you already own. With a little creativity and mix-and-match magic, you can turn your existing wardrobe into a treasure trove of festive looks.

Here are some easy ways to recuse your wardrobe for festive looks:

A beautiful embroidered or embellished dupatta can transform a simple kurta into an elegant festive ensemble. You can drape a heavy dupatta over a plain white, black, or pastel kurta to add instant vibrancy for the festive look.

Traditional and western pieces for a fusion look

You can layer an embroidered ethnic jacket over a plain kurta, dress, or even a saree for a layered style. You can also pair a shrug with western pieces like dresses for a stylish contrast.

Revamping your lehenga with different tops is a smart way to refresh your look without buying something new. You can create an entirely new style by switching up these elements.
