The fascination with brocades never seems to end. With the festive season in full swing, they’re back to their omnipresent status and we love them. The fabric is a go-to choice for the festive season, weddings and other celebrations because of its timeless appeal and many of our favourite celebs were recently seen wearing them. Here are some of the best looks.

The Sari Story

Kajol was recently spotted wearing a regal Anita Dongre sari finished with pearl and zari embellishments. It was the colour and styling that worked for the actress. Brocade saris are a wardrobe classic -- from lighter tones to solid hues, there's so much to choose from.

Aditi Rao Hydari's sharara

Keeping it fuss-free and chic, Aditi Rao Hydari opted for a Raw Mango sharara during one of her recent fashion outings. Brocade shararas are perfect for any occasion -- they're dramatic and can be styled in so many ways. We're loving the all-green here with just the right punch of pink.

Radhika Apte's separates

If you're looking for something more modern, brocade cigarette pants or wide trousers are your best bet. Actress Radhika Apte took the contemporary route by pairing her gold shirt with a pair of striking high-waisted pants. She finished her look with gold jewellery. If you're looking for something edgy, pantsuits are a great option.

Known for her love for all things ethnic, Sara Ali Khan was recently spotted in a red and gold lehenga paired with minimal jewels. Another winning style is the crop top and skirt combo.
