Some of next season’s biggest trends are already at your fingertips, thanks to India Couture Week. So start wearing them now and you’ll have a major leg up in the style game in 2016.
Takeaway trend from Day 1: Bardot blouses
Validating the fact that there’s nothing hotter than showing off your shoulders this season, designer Manish Malhotra presented the Bardot version of blouses on his couture runway in the Capital.

The first day of India Couture Week saw the models carrying off the comeback trend of Bardot blouses, which are primarily those that fall off the shoulders to expose some skin.
Even Deepika Padukone, who closed the presentation, The Persian Story, wore a burgundy lehenga (which took all of three months to create!), topped with an off-shoulder blouse.

Other models too were seen sporting the trend as they strutted down the runway with romantically exposed shoulders that were paired with heavily embellished lehenga skirts.
So, if you are still not sliding your sleeves off them shoulders, now’s the time to re-style your wardrobe.
Style tip: Why not try the Bardot blouse with a sari? Ditch the staple tailored versions and go for the retro Bollywood inspiration for a fun monsoon wedding.
For your BFF’s wedding, pick a Bardot blouse to go with your embroidered lehenga skirt. (Raajessh Kashyap/ HT Photo)
