Dressing up for Karva Chauth

Thanks to the OTT celebration of Karva Chauth in our Bollywood films, every woman observing the day wants to look her best on Karva Chauth. Though just a day long festival, in many parts of the country, women start preparing for the day at least a month in advance - shopping for a new day and night outfit, getting beauty treatments done. There are some who even plan a pre Karva Chauth parties. For all those women who are on the look out to covet something pretty and in trend, designer Ritu Seksaria has some tips.

-- Some women prefer going super traditional on Karva Chauth, while some prefer a mix of modern and traditional. Red and maroon are the classic colors for this day, with an addition of some gold and bling.

-- Fusion wear is in trend these days as a lot of Indian women go for comfort more than tradition.

-- Dhoti sarees and long tunics with some embroidery, teamed with minimalistic jewellery is the fashion mantra.

-- Combine your regular saree with a fun blouse and a belt and give it a touch of your own style and you'll defintely turn some heads this Karva Chauth.

-- A must-have accessory is a red bindi, which signifies true love and prosperity.
