Navratri Fashion Advice: Embrace Colors, Experiment With Style

MUMBAI-Actress Isha Koppikar believes festive dressing is about balancing the occasion’s cultural significance with personal style, encouraging people to experiment with colors, designs and fusion fashion rather than follow trends blindly.

With the festive season approaching, the ‘Don’ actress shared her approach to choosing outfits for different celebrations, saying she likes to dress according to the occasion while exploring evolving styles.

“The outfit should be able to express the mood, and that’s what makes it special. I like detailing, colors, motif designs, and something that looks and feels aesthetic and chic,” she said, adding that careful choices help bring a look together.

On the growing preference for black and darker shades at festive occasions, Koppikar said these colors have their appeal but may not suit every celebration.

“Black is rich, royal, and ethereal; there is no doubt about it. But it’s not an apt color for every occasion. There are so many colors with so many shades to explore,” she said.

Navratri, in particular, offers an opportunity to embrace color, she added. “Navratri itself is a very colorful festival!! I personally don’t just stick to one color, because what’s the fun when you can try different things and set your zone.”

Rather than chasing every new trend, she urged people to explore what suits their personality and feel free to experiment.

“It is also important to wear what makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel you. So instead of just jumping on to trends, try to make your own zone,” she said.

“Personal style never fades, it becomes your statement,” she added. (IANS)
