wardrobe
Winter is that time of the year when weddings turn grand. Guest lists grow longer, invitations stack up and dressing up becomes part of the ritual rather than a choice. With celebrations unfolding back to back, this is hardly the moment to play it safe or hold back on detail, texture and shine. Instead, it’s the season to lean into richer silhouettes and detailed handwork. For those looking to take inspiration, these designs by Yasmin Zaman offer ideas rooted in thoughtful design, refined cuts and an easy sense of glamour. This week, You! shares how to dress for winter festivities with style and confidence…
A straight-cut kurta in muted champagne-beige, detailed with dense chevron handwork in fine dabka, resham and soft sequin accents that add texture without heaviness. The fully embroidered boat neckline draws the eye upward, while embellished full sleeves finish heavier at the cuffs for balance. Floral detailing at the hem grounds the silhouette, paired with slim trousers and a sheer dupatta that falls fluidly. Style with a low bun or sleek side-part, pearl or polki studs and nude or champagne heels. Ideal for an intimate nikah, formal family dinner or a winter shaadi.
A blush pink embellished kurta set finished with delicate pearl and stone detailing that adds softness. The v-neckline keeps the silhouette sharp, while sheer organza sleeves fall fluidly, worked with a fine jaal pattern and finished with subtle stone tassels at the cuffs and daman. Tailored, matching plain trousers balance the look. Style with a sleek bun, neutral makeup and minimal jewellery. Ideal for intimate wedding functions, daytime festivities or a refined mehendi look.
A soft sage green lehenga with a clean sleeveless blouse, finished with delicate bead edging for a sharp yet feminine cut. The skirt flows in an easy A-line, detailed with fine tonal bead and thread kaam forming organic vine motifs. A sheer dupatta adds lightness, keeping the look airy and refined rather than heavy. The muted colour feels fresh, modern and luxurious with a subtle sheen. Style with a sleek bun, minimal jewellery and soft glam makeup. Perfect for engagement dinners, intimate weddings or elegant festive evenings.
A traditional saree in an icy mint hue, sheer and airy with an elegant, light-catching finish. The blouse mirrors the ornate border, embroidered with classic floral motifs and scalloped edges in silver zari, resham and fine sequins. Consistent detailing along the pallu and hem creates a cohesive, old-world feel, while the traditional drape allows the embroidery to frame the form. Style with soft makeup and defined eyes, hair in a low bun or loose waves and silver jhumkas or chandbalis. Best suited for a shaadi ceremony, valima or a formal daytime wedding.
An ivory-grey lehenga set anchored by a sleeveless halter-neck blouse, richly detailed with pearl and stone motifs that add texture and drama. Fine stone edging along the hem of the blouse sharpens the cut, while the lehenga flows in a clean silhouette, scattered with understated stone work for movement and sheen. The embellished dupatta is finished with geometric borders, punctuated by diamond-shaped cutwork that adds depth. The palette feels modern, cool-toned and polished. Style with a messy bun, softly smokey eyes with glittered under-eyes for an extra oomph and muted pink lips. Perfect for engagement nights, reception events or evening wedding celebrations.
A modern saree in pale blush pink, cut from a fluid fabric that creates a soft, vertical fall. The sleeveless deep V blouse anchors the look with dense silver-toned embroidery in floral and geometric patterns, worked in dabka, sequins and fine thread. Clean draping and minimal pleating keep the silhouette sharp, while the uninterrupted pallu lets the blouse take focus. Style with slicked-back hair or a tight bun, statement earrings only and metallic heels. Perfect for an engagement dinner, reception night or a fashion-forward wedding guest moment.
