Festive season is the one time where too much is never enough. Colour, embroidery, layered jewellery, crystal clutches, dramatic skirts - THAT is the moodboard. For this curation, we picked ten statement-making pieces from The Chic Indian's maximalist edit, each from a different label that celebrate Indian craft and couture-level drama in unapologetically luxe ways. Think brocades, sculptural accessories, and silhouettes that guarantee you'll arrive and be remembered.
Take, for example, a midnight-black hand-embellished lehenga. With metallic embroidery and attitude built into every thread, it transforms instantly with the addition of a pearl-encrusted waist belt or a heavy choker. The drama is already in the skirt, so your styling becomes about balance --- sultry bronze eyes, a glossy lip, and just enough jewellery to hold the gaze without competing.
Then there are modern hybrids - saree silhouettes reimagined as pant drapes with quilted pallus, crafted from Japanese silks. These thrive on accessories that echo their architectural quality: a bold cuff, sharp sandals, maybe a slick bun with a single earring. Maximalist, yes, but refined.
For those who love pure drama, flowing skirts with embroidered trails are the kind of pieces that photograph like a dream - sweeping staircases, lantern-lit lawns, or an evening party where movement becomes the accessory. Style them with richly textured blouses or even a brocade waistcoat if you want to push boundaries.
For men, maximalism finds its own dramatic rhythm. The Purple Braid Kurta in Bemberg Modal Silk becomes the stage --- its jewel-toned shimmer and intricate braid detail along the collar and placket already command attention. Pair it with with slim, tonal trousers in deep plum or charcoal, and slip into sleek metallic mojris or classic juttis with subtle sheen.
Let scarabloom shirt spill asymmetrically or float behind in motion. Underneath, a plain silk stole or dupatta in a tonal shade gives you that subtle echo. Finish with tailored trousers, perhaps in a complementary metallic weave fabric, and patterned juttis or loafers.
And for those who lean into colour, the Crimson Grace Shirt is maximalism distilled. Its saturated red base is already commanding, but styled with dark trousers, embroidered juttis, and layered accessories --- think stacked rings or a jewelled brooch pinned off-centre
