Sara Ali Khan has made a name for herself in the business with three box office hits. She can be found offering the omnipresent shutterbugs anything worth writing home about when she isn’t trying to seduce the most talked-about actors onstage with her extensive collection of Indian clothes. The 24-year-old blend of attempted essentials and improved requirements gives plenty of motivation at a time when the fashion business is attempting to streamline its alternatives. These are some of her wardrobe’s trends to keep a lookout for as the Christmas season approaches.

When it comes to wardrobe basics, the traditional kurta is one of the most popular. Find the proper texture, whether it’s an exquisitely detailed chikankari or a crisp Chanderi, and she assures it’ll become the most valuable member of your wardrobe. Long-distance flights necessitate vivid tie-dye dupattas, while routine errands may be enhanced with multi-coloured bangles. She advises leaving the trailing dupattas behind on days when you know you’ll be on your feet for significant periods. Her no-fuss approach to this fuss-free design is contagious, and style observers will have no problem counting the classic kurtas cropping up in the closets of the industry’s most discriminating dressers.

Khan makes a solid argument for incorporating printed separates into your holiday rotation if you’re tired of the cookie-cutter pastels that have been ruling the scene. Mayur Girotra’s chevron sharara set to Nupur Kanoi’s fuss-free bandhani separates is among your options. She frequently consults the couturiers when she wants to go above and beyond the basics, having previously turned heads for Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Her backless kurta outfit studded with rainbow-hued sequins work for a tactile touch and her pistachio green lehenga at Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wedding reception are two standouts.
