Everything to wear this festive season, other than the little black dress

The little black dress has long been the go-to for effortless style, earning its place as a wardrobe classic. But as fashion evolves, there’s room to look beyond the LBD and experiment with fresh silhouettes, colours, and textures that feel just as timeless, yet a little more unexpected.

At Bazaar India, we are moving on from the age-old little black dress. This festive season calls for silhouettes that feel fresher, bolder, and a little more unexpected. From sculptural trousers to fluid dresses and striking separates, these picks prove that festive dressing doesn’t have to rely on the predictable. Each piece brings its own mood and moment, making space for individuality while still delivering on impact.

Consider this your sign to refresh your wardrobe rotation and let your festive style evolve beyond the obvious.
