If there’s one place you should be shopping from this festive season, it’s your wardrobe. Celebrities across the board — from Deepika Padukone to Sonam Kapoor to Alia Bhatt – have proved that re-wearing your existing festive outfits with creative twists can make your celebrations more mindful without lowering the style stakes. “The truth is that most of us already have beautiful pieces in our wardrobes that just need a little creativity and care to feel new again. The most common issues are stains, fading, ill-fits, or worn-out fabrics, but none of these need to mean the end of a garment’s life,” explains fashion designer Sanjana Bubber Divecha who focuses on re-wearability in her design ethos. And if you’re worried about looking dated, here are a few tips to keep your fits fresh and sustainable at the same time.
