Anarkali With Brocade Work
Brocade is a silk wool mix known for its high-insulating properties, making it another great fabric to wear during winter festivities. In our opinion, Anarkali in itself is a very favoured winter wedding outfit; combined with brocade, it becomes absolutely foolproof. This Anarkali and pant set from Kaanchie Nanggia is stunning and will work well for engagement ceremonies or other pre-wedding functions.
High Neck Blouses With Your Sarees

A very easy and accessible way to style your sarees in winter is to pair them with plain turtle necks. This look looks very sophisticated and chic and gives a slight indo-western edge to the traditional saree look while also keeping you warm. The jewellery is the star of this look, and we'd suggest going with the long Afghani pieces.
Velevet Dress
A velvet mini-dress should be a no-brainer if you are going for a cocktail party or bachelorette. The fabric will keep you warm while looking stylish. The long sleeves will keep your arms warm, and you can wear the furry stockings for added warmth. Complete the whole 'fit with a solid pair of pumps and a sling bag.
Silk Lehenga
Silk lehenga is again a very popular choice, especially perfect for all the bridesmaids out there. This raw silk lehenga from Masaba is a great investment piece, adorned with aari embroidery and a printed wallflower back. The blouse piece comes with full-length sleeves that ought to keep you warm and covered. The skirt and the blouse are pretty versatile and can be used to pair with different items as well.
