Look 1: THE LENGHA
Are there pieces in your closet that are very formal and only have been worn once? For Rajbinder’s first look, she shows how to take a formal piece that is worn for special occasions and create it into a casual outfit that can be brought into your everyday life. She pairs the skirt with a simple white t-shirt before adding an oversized denim jacket and a pair of sneakers.

Look 4: RAJ
This look is all about the jewelry! Jewelry in South Asian fashion is important. Traditionally large earrings and statement necklaces are frequently worn together, while bangles are stacked on the arms to balance out heavier outfits. Additionally, the principle of South Asian jewelry is always more!
For this look, Rajbinder aimed to draw attention to one statement piece of jewelry.
She selected a beautiful necklace from Banglezwith a simple silk shirtdress.
