Love mixing traditional kurtis with denim or sarees with crop tops? I help you nail that Indo-Western vibe without trying too hard.

There's something so cinematic about wearing a saree, even at 3 a.m. Here, I've styled a simple printed cotton saree with a plain white tank top for a modern, relaxed, and romantic vibe.

The ultimate desi-core look for a rainy day. I styled this gorgeous green saree with a simple black strap blouse and oxidized silver jewelry to live out my Bollywood main character fantasy.

I love getting pieces custom-made to bring my Pinterest-inspired ideas to life. This black kurti was made just for me, and I've styled it with jeans, a bindi, and a nose ring for a chic, contemporary Indian look.

Short kurtis are so versatile and perfect for creating easy Indo-Western outfits. This video shows a couple of my affordable finds from Myntra, including a halter-neck block print top and a flowy green peplum kurti, both styled with jeans.

Creating an aesthetic desi look with pieces you already own. I paired a simple black crop top with a printed maxi skirt and added a waist chain and jhumkas to elevate it into a chic, fusion-wear outfit.

This is my take on a Bollywood-core look for a day out in the city. I styled a long white skirt from Sarojini Market with a black lace-trimmed top and a waist chain for that perfect blend of desi and modern.

This pink brocade corset top is incredibly versatile. Here, I'm showing how to style it for an Indo-Western look with jeans and oxidized silver jewelry, perfect for a festive occasion or a night out.

About Indo-Western & Desi-Core

Ever looked at your closet and thought you had nothing to wear, even though it is full? That happens because we often think of clothes in single sets. I help you break that habit. Whether it is taking a corset top and pairing it with jeans or layering a breezy dress over denim, I focus on mixing your ethnic pieces with everyday basics to create looks that feel fresh and comfortable for city living and your personal vibe.
