At this point I know my dream designers for every wedding event- from the mehendi, to the sangeet, the cocktail and pheras. What I find funny though is that we spend, weeks, even months obsessing over outfits we will wear for just 2 days of our life, and almost no time thinking about the outfits we will actually live our lives in – our trousseau.

Though trousseaus are made up of western clothes, bags and shoes as well, I am going to focus on brands fresh off the block who design the best festive wear; outfits that you will wear for future weddings, poojas, karva chauth, Diwali and more. Here are my favourites:

Amaaya By Pooja Ahuja

Though she is better known for her lehengas with delicate threadwork, I personally love her jumpsuits, dhoti pants, and palazzo sets which all come in flattering colors and interesting cuts.
